Effect of different speed and time of centrifugations on decontamination of Leptospira spp. cultures from rat’s kidney by Budi Prasetyo, Arif Mulyanto, Kusnanto Mukti Wibowo, Kurniawan, Farida Dwi Handayani

“…The centrifugal force in the centrifuge is able to change the surface properties of bacterial cells and the inner structure, including DNA, so that it can damage bacterial cells. The pathogenic bacterium Leptospira spp is a zoonosis that lives in the kidneys of rats as a natural reservoir, but breeding it is still a challenge because it can be contaminated with other bacteria. …”

“…The foods we eat, coupled with our physiology and exposures (eg, antibiotics, supplements), directly contribute to atherosclerotic disease in complex ways that are mediated by gastrointestinal flora and metabolic by‐products. Proliferation of “pathogenic” gut microbes such as Enterobacteriaceae and Streptococcus spp, decrement of “commensal” species such as Akkermansia spp and the biodiversity of gut flora are directly related to an individual's dietary intake and exposure history. …”
