The aim of this study was to perform the microbiological analysis of quality of 25 probiotic products, available on the Polish market. Analysis of bacterial viability in probiotic products showed that not all of these preparations possess a suitable number of bacteria. Moreover, some of the tested probiotic products contained bacterial strains other than those declared by the manufacturer. All ...

A total of 57 Aeromonas isolates from food samples such as fresh and frozen chicken, game birds, pasteurized milk, baby food, bakery products, fruit and vegetables, fish, and water from Abu Dahbi, UAE were investigated for antibiotic susceptibility profile. Most strains were resistant to penicillins (ticarcillin, mezlocillin, oxacillin, piperacillin), sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim and macrolid...

This study investigated the antibiotic resistance profile of the L. garvieae isolated strains from Jordanian dairy products. Disk diffusion method was used. In particular, different antibiotics were tested against L. garvieae; the antibiotic disks were Trimethoprim (5 μg), Clindamycin (2 μg), Nitrofurantoin (300 μg), Erythromycin (15 μg), Ampicillin (15 μg), Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (1.25/...

Antibiotic resistance among uropathogens is emerging public health problem. This study was done for assessing antibiotic and multidrug resistance (MDR) patterns of Escherichia coli at Bir Hospital, Kathmandu, among suspected urinary tract infection (UTI) patients from January to March, 2011. Altogether, 739 urine samples were analysed by semi-quantitative culture method and uropathogens were id...

• Nitrofurantoin and furazolidone had no adverse effect on the microbial consortium. The consortium behaviour degradation of antibiotics differed between drugs. NFT reduced organic carbon consumption increased EPS VOC production. FZD decomposition exceed 60% with a small reduction assimilation. was better represented by logistic mathematical model. Antibiotics in wastewater leads to migration p...

Dodd and Stillman (1944) described the antibacterial activity of the nitrofurans, and nltrofurantoin was synthesized by the Eaton Laboratories in 1952. Since that time this substance has been given extensive clinical trials in the United States of America in infections of the urinary tract. Limited clinical trials were recently reported in this country (Heffernan, Kippax, and Pamplin, 1955), an...
