The consumption of fresh vegetables has great health benefits. However, this been linked to several food borne infections and disease outbreaks in the past because some these have identified as agents transmission human pathogens. This study examined coliform bacteria profile raw salad sold open markets Owerri metropolis, South Eastern Nigeria. samples different (cabbage, cucumber, carrot tomat...

The aim of this study was to isolate bacteria with antimicrobial activities from the marine sponges Aplysina aerophoba and Aplysina cavernicola. The obtained 27 isolates could be subdivided into eight phylogenetically different clusters based on comparative sequence analysis of their 16S rDNA genes. The sponge isolates were affiliated with the low (Bacillus) and high G+C Gram-positive bacteria ...

The effect of 14 microbial inoculants on the fermentation and nutritive value of alfalfa silages was studied under laboratory conditions. The first cut (477 g of dry matter/kg) and second cut (393 g of dry matter/kg) of a second-year alfalfa stand were ensiled in 2 trials. In both trials alfalfa was harvested with standard field equipment. All inoculants were applied at 1.0 x 10(6) cfu/g of cro...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of beta plus probiotic, a mixture of bacillius leicheniformic and bacillius subtilis , on the growth performance and intestinal microbial flora of caspian trout ( salmo caspius ). a basal diet was formulated and supplemented with beta plus at 0, 0.5 and 1 g kg -1 , leading to three experimental diets. each experimental diet was randomly assigned ...

A bacteriological study of fish is critical to protecting people from potential hazards and serving as an indicator water contamination. The was carried out investigate microorganisms the Labeo rohita. total bacterial load measured in skin, gills, intestine. It had a (TBL) 1.54×109 CFU/g on average. intestine highest average TBL 2.09×109 CFU/g, while gill lowest 1.08×109 CFU/g. Isolated bacteri...

to evaluate the inoculation effect of potassium releasing, phosphate solubilizing and nitrogen fixing bacteria on the fruit quality of tomato, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with 9 treatments and 3 replications has been conducted. in this experiment, tomato (super chief cv.) seedlings of the in the treasury cultivation with single and combined treatments of the potassiu...

We analyzed dose-dependent effects of vancomycin on wound infection bacteria and investigated the relationship between dose and microbial imbalances in patients treated with intrawound vancomycin powder during spine surgery. Numerous trials have confirmed that using intrawound vancomycin powder during spine surgery may decrease postoperative wound infection rates. However, potential risks inclu...

abstract background: the invasion of microorganisms into the bloodstream and spread to different parts of body can cause disruption the functions of vital organs and even death. the proper and prompt treatment is essential and can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality rates. this study aimed to determine the frequency and the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria isolated from blood c...

Gingivitis is an inflammatory destructive disease mainly caused by microbial plaques. Gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli or cocci have been isolated from dental plaque and gingivitis. This study was going to isolate and characterize the pathogenic bacteria from gingival of 100 patients with oral gingivitis. Enriched and specific media used for isolation of bacteria. Identification of isola...

Grassland fire, as an important ecological factor, is quite influential in determining the structural and functional stability of ecosystem. In this work, the fire-induced changes on the vegetation and soil microbial community were studied in alpine meadow. Microbial community composition was assessed by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis, and functional diversity was determined by Biolog ...
