The antimicrobial effect of several products including commercial formulations currently used in sugar and alcohol factories was determined by adapted MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) test on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and on natural contaminants Lactobacillus fermentum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The MIC test by macrodilution broth method was adapted by formulating of the culture medium...

Previous studies have demonstrated that fluoroquinolone area under the curve (AUC)/MIC ratios of 30 to 50 are sufficient to eradicate pneumococci from in vitro pharmacokinetic models (IVPMs). However, more systematic studies of the impact of AUC/MIC ratios on the antipneumococcal activities of fluoroquinolones are needed. In the present study, a two-compartment IVPM was used to evaluate the imp...

The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 16 clinical isolates of Desulfovibrio spp. were determined. All or most isolates were susceptible to imipenem (MIC(90) [MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited], 0.5 microg/ml), metronidazole (MIC(90), 0.25 microg/ml), clindamycin (MIC(90), 4 microg/ml), and chloramphenicol (MIC(90), 16 microg/ml) but were resistant or intermediate to penicil...

The MIC IP dynamic 7000 HD camera has an advanced PTZ platform that was designed using Bosch’s domain expertise in material engineering, mechanical design, intelligent imaging, and video streaming. The camera complies to some of the toughest industry standards such as IP68, NEMA 6P, and IK10 for extreme mechanical strength and durability. The camera is designed using the latest technology in in...

Ubiquitous systems can be considered as good challenges and case studies for the reliable development of open, cooperative and mobile systems in a globally uncontrolled environment. Furthermore, the complexity of these systems could constitute a real barrier to classical engineering approaches and validate the foundations of agent based computing. In this paper, we have abstracted a composable ...
