AIMS Thermal inactivation of a mixture of five strains of Listeria monocytogenes, four strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and eight serotypes of Salmonella were compared with that of indigenous microflora in 75% lean ground beef. METHODS AND RESULTS Inoculated meat was packaged in bags that were completely immersed in a circulating water bath and held at 55, 57.5 and 60 degrees C for predete...

A study was undertaken to determine typical concentrations of airborne bacteria and fungi (microflora) in Teaching Hospital environment in Benin City in the tropical rainforest environment of Nigeria. Aerial sampling was conducted at various hospital wards each day. The air samples were collected thrice daily. Concentrations of airborne microflora exceeded available local guidelines for indoor ...

Iran J Pediatr; Vol 24 (No 4), Aug 2014 Published by: Tehran University of Medical Sciences (http://ijp.tums.ac.ir) reported yet from Iran. Our patient illustrates the typical manifestation of an acute suppurative parotitis. Our patient was female unlike the most of reported patients[2,3]. She had unilateral parotid gland involvement, like the most of cases[2,3]. One third of the patients were ...

Described below are observations which seem to account, in large part at least, for the normal resistance of the mouse's intestinal tract to infection with Salmonella enteritidis introduced by mouth, the natural route of infection. Thus inoculated, about 106 microorganisms are required to infect 50 per cent of young adult CF-1 mice (1). Their resistance, however, can be sharply reduced by the o...

Dysbiosis is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but it is unclear which specific intestinal bacteria predispose to and which protect from IBD and how they are regulated. Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (Pglyrps) are antibacterial, participate in maintaining intestinal microflora, and modulate inflammatory responses. Mice deficient in any one of the four Pglyrp genes are more sen...

b a ckground: microbes particularly bacteria presenting in the gut of haematophagous insects may have an important role in the epidemiology of human infectious disease. m e t hods: the microbial flora of gut and surrounding environmental of a laboratory strain of phlebotomus papatasi , the main vector of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) in the old world, was investigated. biochemical reac...

The article considers the influence of physical methods disinfection on complex microorganisms grain food raw materials. Various are considered - chemical, biological and physical, their reduction microflora. classification microflora cereal crops, quality indicators vegetable materials have been studied. When exposed to microwave energy grain, most optimal modes were identified in terms temper...

Aims: To describe the existence of microbial normal flora and its contribution to homeostasis, with emphasize on several major systems human body.
 Discussion: Normal microflora are a group various microorganisms that reside in bodies all humans or animals. These organisms consistently exist, relatively stable, specific genera populating body regions during particular periods an individual...
