Candida spp., are saprophytic yeasts capable of creating a favorable environment for bacterial infection, amplifying or inhibiting their activity. On the other hand, bacteria produce molecules that reduce proliferation spp promote adherence to surfaces. The resurgence typhoid and paratyphoid fevers in endemic individuals relative effectiveness contemporary conventional therapies arouse curiosit...

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is used in agriculture to reduce soil erosion and has been reported to reduce turbidity, nutrients, and pollutants in surface runoff water. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of PAM on the concentration of enteric bacteria in surface runoff by comparing four enteric bacteria representing phenotypically different motility and hydrophobicity from three soi...

Poultry litter provides nutrients for crop and pasture production; however, it also contains fecal bacteria, sex hormones (17beta-estradiol and testosterone) and antibiotic residues that may contaminate surface waters. Our objective was to quantify transport of fecal bacteria, estradiol, testosterone and antibiotic residues from a Cecil sandy loam managed since 1991 under no-till (NT) and conve...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to identify potential environmental and demographic factors associated with Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), Salmonella enterica (Salmonella spp.), and antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection in northern elephant seals stranded along the California coastline. METHODS E. coli, Salmonella spp., and C. jejuni were isolated from rectal s...

probiotics are live cultures of microbes; often lactic acid bacteria, but also some other species, which when fed to animals, improve their health and growth through altering the intestinal microbial balance. in the present research, healthy chickens’ gastrointestinal (gi) tracts were screened for the presence of lactic acid bacteria with probiotic properties. the probiotic properties of the is...

FOWLS are susceptible to numerous infections attributable to some member of the paratyphoid group of organisms, of the genus Salmonella. Among the principal avian paratyphoid infections are those caused by S, anatwm in ducks and by &. mrtrycke in chickens, ducklings, pigeons, and other species (typhimurium). S. enteritidis infection of chicks and ducks is prevalent in Europe but not common in t...
