As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these protocols to know which are most appropriate to adopt for accurate identification of bacterial pathogens. Molecular Detection of Human Bacterial Pathogens addresses this issue, with international scientists in respective bacterial pathogen research and diagnosis providing expert summaries on current diagnostic approaches for major human bacterial pathogens. Each chapter consists of a brief review on the classification, epidemiology, clinical features, and diagnosis of an important pathogenic bacterial genus, an ...

This book provides a broad range of applications and recent advances in the search for biofilm materials in nature. It also explains the future implications for biofilms in the areas of advanced molecular genetics, pharmaceuticals, pharmacology, and toxicology. This book is comprised of 20 chapters from leading experts in the field and it examines immunology and microbiological studies derived from biofilms as well as explores environmental, agricultural, and chemical impacts on biofilms. It is divided into five subdivisions: biofilms and its complications, biofilm infections in human body, detection of biofilm-forming pathogens, antibiofilm chemotherapy, and biofilms production tools in aqu...
Este livro é um estudo que se reveste de importância ao propor uma reflexão acerca do "instituto do produto essencial", conforme previsão do artigo 18, §3o, do Código de Defesa do Consumidor, com o objetivo de verificar alguns fatores que possam contribuir para a definição de "produto essencial", tendo em vista ser um conceito legal indeterminado. Esta pesquisa baseou-se em duas premissas básicas: primeira, que o legislador não indicou ou definiu objetivamente quais seriam os produtos essenciais; segunda, questionar a efetividade de uma regulamentação, na análise da relação entre o consumidor e a necessidade do produto. Com esta pesquisa, é possível considerar que, por haver...
While modern food production has become increasingly efficient in providing a wide range of convenient and affordable products, individuals struggling with gluten intolerance, FODMAP intolerance, and intolerance to food additives are an exception when their health conditions limit the foods they can safely eat. Food intolerances, usually dealt with from a health perspective, also have technological aspects, especially as one takes into consideration that foods designed for individuals with food intolerances require specific ingredients, formulations, and processing conditions. Food Intolerances: A Technological Perspective addresses the health and food science aspects of food intolerances fr...
Many researchers have explored the impact of British and French Orientalism in the reinterpretations of Buddhism in South and Southeast Asia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Less noticed, however, and infrequently discussed is the impact of Portuguese colonialists and missionaries upon Buddhist communities in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries across Asia. Stephen C. Berkwitz addresses this theme by examining five poetic works by Alagiyavanna Mukaveti (b.1552), a renowned Sinhala poet who participated directly in the convergence of local and trans-local cultures in early modern Sri Lanka. Berkwitz follows the written works of the poet from his position in the court o...

Biofilms are highly organized polymicrobial communities that are embedded in an extracellular matrix and formed on natural and artificial surfaces. In the oral cavity, biofilms are formed not only on natural teeth, but also on restorative materials, prosthetic constructions, and dental implants. Oral diseases like caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and also pulp inflammation are associated with biofilms. This publication is an up-to-date overview on oral biofilms from different clinically relevant perspectives. Experts comprising basic researchers and clinicians report on recent research relating to biofilms - from general summaries to recommendations for daily clinical work. This book cover...
