advantages as an alternative dosage form (i) avoiding firstpass metabolism, (ii) easy discontinuation of administration, and (iii) reduced side effects; however, the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer of skin, provides a primary barrier to transdermal drug delivery. Pentazocine (PTZ), a relatively short-acting narcotic-antagonist analgesic, is used clinically for the relief of cancer...

The method of Doyle and Roman (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 43:1343-1353, 1982) was compared with that of Lovett et al. (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 46:459-462, 1983) for the ability to recover Campylobacter jejuni strains inoculated into raw milk at a concentration of less than 1 cell per g. The method of Lovett et al. gave significantly greater recovery proportions.
