Listeria is an uncommon cause of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in the United States. Listeria should be suspected as a cause of SBP when the patient has diphtheria-like organisms on ascitic/blood cultures, iron overload/hemochromatosis, exposure to farm animals, or poor response to empiric therapy within 48-72 h. Diagnosis of SBP is made if the ascitic fluid shows polymorphonuclear ce...

MK-0366, a new derivative of nalidixic acid, was tested against 250 urinary pathogens including Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This new agent was more active than any of the other antibiotics tested, which included carbenicillin, ampicillin, cephalexin, tetracycline, trimethoprim, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and nalidixic acid. Gentamicin-resistant P. aeru...

To determine the effect of breed on copper status of crossbred (F1) lambs, a study was conducted using 187 crossbred wether lambs. Wether lambs were progeny of five ram breeds (Dorset, Finnsheep, Montadale, Romanov, and Texel) and two ewe breeds (Rambouillet and a composite breed [1/2 Columbia, 1/4 Suffolk, 1/4 Hampshire]). Diets were adjusted to decrease crude protein twice during the experime...
