The production of Greek-style natural black table olives remains an empirical process relying on spontaneous fermentation despite its economic significance. For this reason producers often resort to increased NaCl c...
Biologic prosthetics are increasingly used for the repair of abdominal wall hernia defects but can become infected as a result of peri- or early post-operative bacterial contamination. Data evaluating biofilm formation o...
In the current study, 65 Vibrio spp. were isolated from the Monastir lagoon water, were characterized phenotypically and genotypically. In addition, we looked for the presence of three Vibrio parahaemolyticus virulence g...
Retrospective analysis of Streptococcus agalactiae antibiotic susceptibility isolated in 2010 - 2013 was performed. Penicillin was still the first-line antibiotic. Due to the high percentage of strains resistant to eryt...
Halophyte microbiome contributes significantly to plant performance and can provide information regarding complex ecological processes involved in osmoregulation of these plants. The objective of this study is to investi...

The production of Greek-style natural black table olives remains an empirical process relying on spontaneous fermentation despite its economic significance. For this reason producers often resort to increased NaCl c...
<strong><em>In vitro</em> Study of Biofilm Growth on Biologic Prosthetics</strong>
Biologic prosthetics are increasingly used for the repair of abdominal wall hernia defects but can become infected as a result of peri- or early post-operative bacterial contamination. Data evaluating biofilm formation o...
Prevalence of Biofilm Formation and Wide Distribution of Virulence Associated Genes among Vibrio spp. Strains Isolated from the Monastir Lagoon, Tunisia
In the current study, 65 Vibrio spp. were isolated from the Monastir lagoon water, were characterized phenotypically and genotypically. In addition, we looked for the presence of three Vibrio parahaemolyticus virulence g...
Erythromycin or Clindamycin - is it Still an Empirical Therapy against Streptococcus agalactiae in Patients Allergic to Penicillin?
Retrospective analysis of Streptococcus agalactiae antibiotic susceptibility isolated in 2010 - 2013 was performed. Penicillin was still the first-line antibiotic. Due to the high percentage of strains resistant to eryt...
Comparison of Microbial Communities Associated with Halophyte (Salsola stocksii) and Non-Halophyte (Triticum aestivum) Using Culture-Independent Approaches
Halophyte microbiome contributes significantly to plant performance and can provide information regarding complex ecological processes involved in osmoregulation of these plants. The objective of this study is to investi...
