Penicillin is still satisfactory as the main treatment for gonorrhoea in Uganda, but there is evidence that its usefulness is declining. In 1961, there was a treatment failure rate of only 4 per cent. with a single dose of 0-3 mega units penicillin aluminium mono-stearate (PAM) (Kibukamusoke, 1965); four times that dose-1V2 mega units-gave a failure' rate of 17-9 per cent. in 1966 (Arya, unpubl...

متن کاملPrevalence and antimicrobial susceptibilities of coagulasenegative Staphylococci isolated from mammary secretions in pregnant Holstein heifers
Mammary secretions of 913 quarters from 229 pregnant Holstein heifers were obtained aseptically to determine the prevalence of coagulase-negative Staphylococci isolated during periparturient period. Quarter samples were collected 14 to 10 days before expected parturition. Analysis of culture data indicated that 78.5% (717/913) of samples were negative, 20.5% (187/913) contained coagulase-negati...
