The main bacteria involved are Lactobaccillus fermentum‚ L. buchneri‚ Streptococcus lactis‚ S faecalis. METHOD OF PREPARATION Typical jalebi is made with a type of wheat flour called maida flour. This is fine ground flour which can be substituted with pastry flour in the US. Saffron is key to preparing jalebi to get the yellow or orange color of

0314 Biofilms in Chronic Wounds: Current Research and Future Direction ABSTRACT Chronic wounds continue to be a significant healthcare problem. Although myriad factors have been implicated in impaired wound healing‚ recent research has focused on the role of matrix-based bacterial communities called biofilms that are often associated with chronic wounds. Various in vitro and in vivo models have been developed to study the role of biofilms in non-healing wounds. Basic science and clinical

Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria For about 50 years‚ antibiotics have been the answer to many bacterial infections. Antibiotics are chemical substances that are secreted by living things. Doctors prescribed these medicines to cure many diseases. During World War II‚ it treated one of the biggest killers during wartime - infected wounds. It was the beginning of the antibiotic era. But just when antibiotics were being mass produced‚ bacteria started to evolve and became resistant to these medicines
