The development of antibiotic resistant pathogens has resulted from the use of sub-therapeutic concentrations of antibiotics delivered in poultry feed. Furthermore, there are a number of consumer concerns regarding the use of antibiotics in food animals including residue contamination of poultry products and antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens. These issues have resulted in recommendations...

A microplot experiment was conducted in soybean–wheat cropping system at New Delhi during 2010-11 and 2011-12 to study the effect of continuous or cyclic tillage, viz., conventional tillage (CT) and zero-tillage (ZT) and residue management of either soybean (SR) and/or wheat (WR) on yield performance and soil physico-chemical properties. The experiment was laid out in randomized block desi...

This study setout to investigate the effect of wheat residue, tillage, and nitrogen fertilizer management on some agronomic traits of soybean as a split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots included wheat residue management: collecting and leaving residue and sub plot included tillage (without tillage and conventional tillage), and the sub...

Shitandi, A. 2004. Risk factors and control strategies for antibiotic residues in milk at farm level in Kenya. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1401-6249. ISBN 91-576-6477-3. Antibiotic residues in milk in Kenya constitute a problem and there is strong interest to enhance milk safety. The research sought to establish whether the prevention of residues in milk was viable at the farm level. It also ev...

The double strand-specific endoRNase RNase III globally regulates the production of antibiotics by Streptomyces coelicolor. We have undertaken studies to determine whether the endoRNase activity of S. coelicolor RNase III or its RNA binding activity is responsible for its regulatory function. We show that an rnc null mutant of S. coelicolor M145 does not produce actinorhodin or undecylprodigios...

Shrimp farming is a sufficiently large and mature industry to have an effective range of antimicrobial agents for most bacterial diseases in shrimp culture. However, at present, there exists great concern over the widespread use of antibiotics in aquaculture, which may result in residue of antibiotics in water and mud, and subsequently, the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria in th...

A multiplexed immunoassay-based antibiotic sensing device integrated in a lab-on-a-chip format is described. The approach is multidisciplinary and involves the convergent development of a multi-antibiotic competitive immunoassay based on sensitive wavelength interrogated optical sensor (WIOS) technology and a polymer-based self-contained microfluidic cartridge. Immunoassay solutions are pressur...
