Bacteriocins: Limiting Factors to Optimum Activity
Maina, Juliana Wanjiru; Mathara, Julius Maina; Kikuvi, Gideon M.; Ouma, Shellemiah Otieno (Science and Education Publishing, 2017)Bacteriocins are described as ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides lethal to bacteria other than the producing strain. They are the most abundant of antimicrobial compounds produced by bacteria. These antimicrobial ... -
Critical environmental factors that influence the presence of vibrio cholera in the setting of Nairobi
Maina, Juliana Wanjiru (International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition, 2017-09)Cholera happens to be among the illnesses that are considered major public health threats owing to the numerous incidences of deaths that have resulted from it across the globe. This study aimed to investigate the critical ... -
Inhibition Of Bovine Mastitis Pathogens By Bacteriocins Produced By Bacillus Spp Isolated From Rastrineobola Argentea (Omena)
Maina, Juliana Wanjiru (2015)Bacteriocins offer an advantage over antibiotics in that they target very specific organisms and they are generally regarded as safe for humans. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify bacteriocin-producing ... -
