Varying concentrations of the food preservatives nisin and lysozyme were
adsorbed onto glass surfaces chemically modified to exhibit different degrees of
hydrophobicity. The antimicrobial activity of the adsorbed prese ...
This thesis is compromised of two distinct formulation sections, which are described below:
New compression-coated tablet formulations were developed for amoxicillin/clavulanate. Amoxicillin in an outer coat was separat ...
The adsorption and elution of the antimicrobial peptide nisin at hydrophobic,
silanized silica surfaces coated with the poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-
poly[ethylene oxide] surfactant Pluronic® F108 was mea ...
A more quantitative understanding of peptide loading and release from polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers will provide direction for development of new strategies for drug storage and delivery. The antimicrobial peptid ...
Nisin is an antibacterial peptide, which when adsorbed
on a surface can inhibit bacterial adhesion and viability.
The ability of noncovalently immobilized nisin to withstand
exchange by the milk proteins bovine serum ...
Eight foodborne pathogenic and spoilage Gram-positive bacteria were
evaluated for their spontaneous resistance frequencies to the peptide
antimicrobial nisin. In brain heart infusion (BHI) medium, nisin resistance
fre ...
Nisin, an antibacterial peptide proven to be an effective inhibitor of Gram-positive bacteria, was incorporated into novel block copolymer constructs and tested for retained antibacterial activity. Covalent coupling was ...
