Relationship between antigen concentration and bacterial load in Pacific salmon with bacterial kidney disease

Blood and sputum eosinophils in COPD; relationship with bacterial load

BACKGROUND Sputum and blood eosinophil counts predict corticosteroid effects in COPD patients. Bacterial infection causes increased airway neutrophilic inflammation. The relationship of eosinophil counts with airway bacterial load in COPD patients is uncertain. We tested the hypothesis that bacterial load and eosinophil counts are inversely related. METHODS COPD patients were seen at stable s...

Bacterial Kidney Disease

Bacterial Endocarditis and Periodontal Disease

Bacterial endocarditis is the infection of inner lining of heart and /or heart valves. This disease is usually related to the presence of some pathogenic bacteria in mouth, digestive system or urinary tract. Most of the times, this infection happens in people with heart problems like the presence of prosthetic valves, history of previous endocarditis, some congenital heart defects and heart tra...

Evaluation of Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) Impacts on the Canadian Salmon Aquaculture Industry FINAL REPORT

Relationship between lactic acid concentration and bacterial spoilage in ground beef.

Lactic acid concentration correlated with organoleptic spoilage of refrigerated, coarsely ground beef stored in casings with low oxygen permeability. The samples were assayed over time for lactic acid concentration, total aerobic plate count, percentage of gram-positive organisms, and pH. Lactic acid increased in all samples, as did the bacterial counts and percentage of gram-positive organisms...
