IF Onle examines the literature on the bacteriology of chorea, one finds that as far back as 1894 a cliplococcus was isolated by Dana from the brain of a fatal case.1 and others have isolated differenit cocci as being the cause of rheutmiatic infectioni, anid some have injected streptococci into rabbits anid prodluced clhoreiform coniditions. In a paper publislhed elsewvhere in this Journal,2 S...

Background: Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are an important group of microorganisms responsible for the fermentation dairy products. This study was done to identify the dominant lactic acid bacteria in naturally fermented milks from Messinese goat’s breed. Methods: Eighteen individual raw milk samples collected from Messinese goat’s breed were acidified at pH 5.20 and left to spontaneously ferment...

1. In most cases of chronic or subacute bacterial endocarditis due to the endocarditis coccus (Streptococcus viridans), there exists a distinctive pathological lesion in some of the glomeruli due to bacterial emboli. 2. The salient features of the pathological picture are first, the involvement of one or more loops of a variable number of glomeruli; secondly, the absence of any visible disease ...

A jade-vermelha (Mucuna bennettii F.

Data that can be described by a power function are ubiquitous in nature. Although there is consensus that such data frequently emerge generally from nonlinear complex systems, a variety of specific mechanisms may be responsible for creating the pattern in particular cases. Here, we report on the distribution of a scale insect (Coccus viridis) that is a common agricultural pest. Its distribution...
