La torsion de frange épiploïque (ou appendagite) est une pathologie rare qui survient principalement chez les adultes entre 20 et 50 ans. L'incidence de cette pathologie n'est pas réellement connue et elle varie de 2 à 7% chez les patients hospitalisés pour suspicion d'appendicite ou de sigmoïdite. Nous rapportons cinq cas d'appendagites dont nous précisons les particularités cliniques, radiolo...

The colorimetric identification of pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria in cell culture is commonly performed using the redox mediator N,N,N0,N0-tetramethyl-para-phenylene-diamine (TMPD) in the socalled oxidase test, which indicates the presence of bacterial cytochrome c oxidases. The presented study demonstrates the ability of electrochemistry to employ TMPD to detect bacteria and quantify t...

1. The presence of suitable animal or human serum is essential for the cultivation of Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae. 2. The nutrient value of serum is considerably reduced by heating to 60 degrees C. for 30 minutes and is destroyed by boiling (100 degrees C). Filtration through a Berkefeld filter does not diminish the nutrient value of the serum. 3. The cultural value of different animal sera ...

D-GlUCOnate is transported in Bacillus subtilis SB-26 by an inducible, highly specific, energy-dependent transport system that is subject to control by catabolite repression (McKillen & Rountree, 1973; Baxter et al., 1974, 1975). It has become fashionable in the past few years to discuss the energetic aspects of permeant transport in terms of the Mitchell chemi-osmotic coupling hypothesis (see ...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of a complex Lactobacilli preparation on performance, resistance to E. coli infection and gut microbial flora of weaning pigs. In exp. 1, twelve pigs (7.65±1.10 kg BW), weaned at 28 d, were randomly allotted into 2 groups and placed in individual metabolic cages. During the first 7 d, one group of pigs was provided ad libitum access to wate...

The number of the solitary lymphoid follicles occurring in the connective tissue layer of the mucous membrane increased in chickens fed with B. subtilis supplementation. According to the microbiological examination the dietary inclusion of Bacillus subtilis was significantly reflected in the chicken caecal samples. The birds from the groups fed Bacillus subtilis consequently showed stronger res...

M ultidrug resistance (MDR) of Acinetobacter baumannii increasingly jeopardizes the health care setting leading to substantial mortality and morbidity globally. During the past decade, entirely resistant A. baumannii strains presented a real challenge to clinicians and posed difficulties in therapy (1, 2). MDR of A. baumannii associated infections, with adverse clinical outcomes involving the r...

The population sizes of three bacterial species, Acinetobacter calcoaceticw, Burkholderia cepacia, and Pseudomonas putida, were examined in water and sediment from nine streams in different parts of the United States using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Population sizes were determined from three sites (upstream, midstream, and downstream) in each stream to compare differences in the...

Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is the causal agent of Pierce’s disease in grapevines. The mechanisms of pathogenicity are largely due to occlusion of xylem vessels by aggregation of Xf and biofilm formation. Our previous work has documented the effects of xylem constituents on both Xf proliferation and biofilm formation. This current research utilizes 1) addition of xylem constituents to defined media...
