four-hundred milk samples from half udders of 20 flocks of native breed goats were asepticallycollected. the samples were examined by california mastitis test (cmt). twenty-one (5.25%) of 400 werecmt-positive. the cmt-positive samples were then cultured and the following bacteria were isolated:staphylococcus aureus in 3 (14.28%), cns (coagulase-negative staphylococci) in 14 (66.66%), streptococ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Infection is the most common cause of death among burnt patients and infection control decrease the rate of mortality. The use of sticky mat can control contamination by preventing the entrance microorganisms into the hospital wards.

The in vitro activity of AZD2563, a novel oxazolidinone, was assessed against 595 Gram-positive cocci, comprising recent surveillance isolates and a collection of resistant (including multiresistant), epidemiologically diverse isolates. The MICs of AZD2563 for staphylococci, pneumococci and enterococci had narrow ranges, 0.25-2 mg/L, with modal MICs of 1 mg/L for staphylococci and pneumococci, ...
