Abstract:
... The Upper Oconee watershed of Georgia is typical of the Piedmont and water quality is a key issue in the urbanization of this historically agricultural region. Fecal indicators may be found in higher numbers than regulatory targets and agricultural non-point sources are sometimes implicated. We enumerated E. coli and enterococci bacteria at 18 sites for 3 years (2200 observations) within the Upper ...

Abstract:
... A plating procedure simulating conditions in ripening Cheddar cheese was used to isolate microorganisms in young cheese that grow at ordinary ripening temperatures. Forty-one commercial cheese samples, most 7 days old, were obtained from ten Iowa manufacturing plants. Samples were plated in special Trypticase-soy agar, covered with 50 ml of 1.5% (w/v) agar, and incubated at 7.2 C for 3 months. Fol ...

The genus Pediococcus was found to be phylogenetically heterogeneous. The four species P. acidilactici, P. damnosus, P. parvulus and P. pentosaceus formed a phylogenetically distinct group. Within this pediococcal cluster, P. acidilactici was closely re ...

Abstract:
... Balance studies in germ‐free (GF) and conventional (CV) rats have shown that in‐vivo breakdown of amylomaize starch depends on endogenous and bacterial enzymes. In GF rats, one‐third of amylomaize starch is resistant to endogeneous digestion, whereas in CV rats starch is totally degraded, In order to study the contribution of endogenous and bacterial enzymes, the in‐vivo breakdown of amylomaize st ...

... A 14‐month‐old, male German shepherd dog was evaluated for chronic, recurrent Escherichia coli urinary tract infection. An initial diagnosis of emphysematous cystitis was made, which resolved with appropriate antibacterial therapy. The urinary tract infection, however, did not resolve and on further investigation a bladder trigone diverticulum was evident, thought to be congenital in origin. This ...

This system was developed using bacterial pathogens of human origin. This study investigated the use of the BIOMIC system for determining MICs for bacterial pathogens from animals. The MICs generated by the BIOMIC s ...

Natural transformation and recombination events with DNA acquired from neighbouring intrinsically resistant organisms are responsible for the appearance of mosaic genes encoding two or three low-affinity PBPs in highly resistant strains of transforma ...

Abstract:
... Aims: The generation of data of real relevance to the purported risks of DNA transfer from food-borne genetically modified microorganisms (GMMOs) using the human biota associated (HBA) rat model. Plasmid transfer between Lactococcus lactis strains and between donor strains and human gut bacteria was monitored. Methods and Results: Transfer of the recombinant plasmid pCK1 and/or the promiscuous non ...

Abstract:
... Aims: A survey was conducted on the ecological distribution of bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria in Miso-pastes, a typical fermented food in Japan. Method and Results: Nine Miso-pastes were sampled for isolation of bacteriocin-producers. Almost all isolated enterococcal strains produced bacteriocins but no isolated tetragenococci did so. The bacteriocin-producing isolates were divided int ...

Methods and Results: Eighteen strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and seven strains of vancomycin-sensitive enterococci were isolated from infected wounds and 20 strains of vancomycin-resistant enterococc ...
