Factors affecting fecal excretion time in pediatric nontyphoid Salmonella infection

Salmonella excretion after cessation of tosufloxacin therapy in acute nontyphoid salmonella enterocolitis.

Symptomatic nontyphoid salmonella enterocolitis patients were treated with tosufloxacin (TFLX) at oral doses of 150 mg three times a day for 5 to 7 days, but bacterial relapse without symptoms occurred in 85% of the patients within 15 days after the cessation of therapy. Our study indicates that TFLX may not be an ideal drug against symptomatic salmonella enterocolitis from a bacteriological po...

Risk factors for endovascular infection due to nontyphoid salmonellae.

Nontyphoid salmonellae are major causes of foodborne infection worldwide. They still seriously affect human health, causing morbidity and mortality. They induce severe salmonellosis, even in modestly immunocompromised hosts, resulting in bacteremic spread, focal infection, and persistence in deep sites, including the en-dovascular region. Approximately 5% of individuals with gastrointestinal il...

Nontyphoid Salmonella gastroenteritis in pediatric patients from urban areas in the city of Mérida, Venezuela.

BACKGROUND Nontyphoid Salmonella (NTS) infections are a frequent cause of self-limited diarrhoeal illness in healthy children that do not usually require antibiotic treatment. This study was conducted by analyzing the phenotypic and genotypic traits of NTS strains from pediatric patients with acute gastroenteritis living in urban areas in the city of Mérida, Venezuela. METHODOLOGY Thirty-seve...

Factors Affecting Manure Excretion by Dairy Cows

Manure in an inevitable byproduct of the production of meat and milk destined for human consumption. Excessive excretion of manure and manure nutrients represent inefficiencies which increase feed costs, increase the environmental impact of dairy farming, and increase the costs associated with moving and storing manure. Profitability can be enhanced when good feeding and management practices ar...
