Application of a Novel Tongue Resin Replication
Bernardi, S.; Grootveld, M.; Tejpal, Jyoti; Laird, Katie (Article)Aims: Biofilms present a strategy for microorganisms to survive and resist adverse conditions. In order to further our understanding of this resistance mechanism, it is of much importance to develop new methodologies in ... -
Comparison of the antibacterial effect of silver and zinc oxide in solution and on coated surfaces
Tejpal, Jyoti; Cross, R. B. M.; Paul, Shashi; Jenkins, R. O.; Laird, Katie (Conference)The occurrence of antibiotic resistance of pathogens is a continuing problem for the health care industry. At least 70% of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) are known to be resistant to a minimum of one or two of the ... -
A multi-faceted approach to determining the efficacy of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles against bacterial biofilms
Tejpal, Jyoti; Cross, R. B. M.; Owen, Lucy; Paul, Shashi; Jenkins, R. O.; Armitage, David; Laird, Katie (Article)Antibacterial efficacy of nanoscale silver, copper (II) oxide and zinc oxide were assessed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in solution and on surfaces. Using a Center for Disease Control ... -
The Use of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Against Biofilms
Tejpal, Jyoti (Thesis or dissertation / Doctoral / PhD)The persistence of biofilms in hospital settings are associated with Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAI), causing increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. The resistance of biofilms against commonly used ...
