Enterobacterial digestive tract colonization of neonates under different conditions during their first days of life was studied. Our objective is to determine the frequency of antibiotic resistance under different conditions (hospitalized newborns treated or not with antibiotics, newborns in a maternity unit, mothers treated or not) thereby permitting a better appreciation of the role played by...

Clinical benefits of probiotics have been clearly reported in different gastrointestinal disorders, many of them caused by enterobacteria. The oral cavity is a port of entry and can be an important reservoir of these microorganisms. This work evaluated whether consumption of probiotics was able to influence the presence of enterobacteria in the oral cavity and the specific secretory response ag...

During the study, we isolated 575 strains of enterobacteria from various animal species belonging to genus Escherichia, Shigella, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Proteus, Providencia, Hafnia, Morganella, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Serratia, Erwinia, Kluyvera, Yersinia. In farm animals, amount transient pathogenic Salmonella enteritidis and Yersinia enterocolitica did not exceed 0.22-0.12%. Among wild p...

In our study, ampicillin (AMP)-mediated decrease of enterobacteria caused increases in hepatic bile acid concentration through (at least in part) elevation of bile acid synthesis in C57BL/6N mice. We investigated the involvement of enterobacteria on intestinal bile acid absorption in AMP-treated mice in the present study. Fecal enterobacterial levels and fecal bile acid excretion rates were mar...

Mastitis adversely affects milk production and in general cows do not regain their full production levels post recovery, leading to considerable economic losses. Moreover the percentage decrease in milk production depends on the specific pathogen that caused the infection and enterobacteria are responsible for this greater reduction. Phenotypic tests are among the currently available methods us...

Edwardsiella tarda is an important pathogen for fish. The strain NCIMB 2034, obtained from the National Collection of Industrial Food and Marine Bacteria, was isolated from unknown diseased fish in the United States. The draft genome sequence has 3.79 Mb with a G+C content of 57.1% and >3,340 protein-coding genes.
