To investigate the effects of two cadmium-tolerant bacteria, Staphylococcus pasteuri (S. pasteuri X1) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens (A. tumefaciens X2), on cadmium uptake by the cadmium hyperaccumulator plant Beta vulgaris var. cicla L., a pot experiment with artificially contaminated soil was conducted. The results demonstrated that both cadmium-tolerant bacteria enhanced the dry weight of Bet...

Herein, we describe the isolation of Staphylococcus pasteuri, Staphylococcus pettenkoferi and Staphylococcus gallinarum and summarize the clinical characteristics of five patients. Cases were identified over a 2-year surveillance period that identified the respective strains using microbiologic and molecular methods. These data suggest that rare coagulase-negative staphylococcal infections may ...

Bu çalışmada turunç çiçeği, karanfil tanesi ve portakal kabuğu yağları etanolik ekstraktlarının; lakerda örneklerinden izole edilen bakteriler üzerinde in vitro koşullarda antibakteriyel etkileri araştırılmıştır. Sonuçlara göre; esansiyel yağların ekstraktlara göre daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Turunç çiçeği yağları; Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus pasteuri, equorum, Carnobacterium...

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of sub-clinical mastitis, its etiological agents and their antibiogram in Murrah buffaloes at an organized farm. A total of 326 quarter milk samples were screened from 82 apparently healthy buffaloes. The percent prevalence of sub-clinical mastitis was found to be lower on the basis of SCC (>5x105/ml) alone (23.17) as compared to cultural e...

Samples of air removed from the stratosphere, at an altitude of 41 km, were previously found to contain viable, but non-cultureable bacteria (cocci and rods). Here, we describe experiments aimed at growing these, together with any other organisms, present in these samples. Two bacteria (Bacillus simplex and Staphylococcus pasteuri) and a single fungus, Engyodontium album (Limber) de Hoog were i...
