The survival of Salmonella sp. in pig slurry submitted to treatment in a stabilization ponds system from a pig breeding farm in southern Brazil were evaluated. The stabilization ponds system proved to be efficient, reducing 93% of the Salmonella sp. population present in the slurry. The resistance pattern of 161 Salmonella Typhimurium strains isolated throughout the system were evaluated agains...

The physiological and molecular responses of six strains of Streptomyces sp. (CAI-13, CAI-85, CAI-93, CAI-140, CAI-155 and KAI-180), with their proven potential for plant growth-promotion (PGP) in rice were studied to understand the mechanisms causing the beneficial effects. In this investigation, those six strains were evaluated for their PGP capabilities in chickpea in the 2012-13 and 2013-14...

background influenza can causes morbidity and mortality that are greatly enhanced in patients with underlying chronic diseases such as cirrhotic patients. this study was performed to assess the immunogenicity of influenza vaccination in patients with cirrhosis and inactive carriers of hepatitis b virus infection. methods in this clinical study 93 enrolled subjects divided into 3 groups: cirrhot...

purpose : cataract surgery is the most common ocular surgery worldwide and in modern era of phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens (pc iol) implantation, refractive aspects of surgery is as important as the surgery itself. after the iol implantation, the anterior chamber depth (acd) is increased and the iridiocorneal angle is widened. these changes should be considered for ...

conclusions these human-derived lab and bifidobacteria exhibited different mechanisms involved in pathogenic inhibition. therefore a combination of these probiotic strains could be a great promise and possibility for the development of probiotic products to effectively prevent and control food-borne infection in humans. background food-borne pathogens are among the most significant problems in ...
