Introduction: Identification of an individual is a prerequisite for certification of death and for personal, social, and legal reasons.The study of lip prints (cheiloscopy) was thought of as a method of identification of a person.It is safe to assume that cheiloscopy, in its present stage of development, has become a means of criminal identificatio
Bacterial biofilm inhibitors: An overview
Bacteria that cause infectious diseases adopt biofilms as one of their most prevalent lifestyles.Biofilms enable bacteria to tolerate environmental stress and evade antibacterial agents.This bacterial defense mechanism has rendered the use of antibiotics ineffective for the treatment of infectious diseases.However, many highly drug-resistant microb
Pollen Streptomyces Produce Antibiotic That Inhibits the Honey Bee Pathogen Paenibacillus larvae
Humans use natural products to treat disease; similarly, some insects use natural products produced by Actinobacteria to combat infectious pathogens.Honey bees, Apis mellifera, are ecologically and economically important for their critical role as plant pollinators and are host to diverse and potentially virulent Accessories pathogens that threaten
Cepheids with the eyes of photometric space telescopes
Space photometric missions have been steadily accumulating observations of Cepheids Portion Spoons in recent years, leading to a flow of new discoveries.In this short review we summarize the findings provided by the early missions such as WIRE, MOST, and CoRoT, and the recent results of the Kepler and K2 missions.The surprising and fascinating resu
