In this study, the antibiotic resistance (AR) of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from traditional Turkish fermented dairy products was investigated. Yogurt, white cheese, tulum cheese, cokelek, camız cream and kefir as dairy products were collected from various supermarkets. Lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus spp., Streptococcus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and Enterecoccus spp. were...

To study the putative transfer of antibiotic resistance from broiler breeders to human, hen’s eggs and theirday-old chicks were examined for the presence of bacteria. The most frequently isolated organisms indecreasing order were: Streptococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacterspp. and Escherichia coli followed by Citrobacter spp., Proteus spp. and Pseudomo...

conclusions minimum biofilm eradication values of ciprofloxacin obtained in the study are close to the values of the minimal inhibition concentration (mic). results all tested strains formed a biofilm. a value of 1.0 μg/ml ciprofloxacin is mbe50 for the strains of both tested species. an mbe90 value of ciprofloxacin for isolates of p. vulgaris was 2 μg/ml and for p. mirabilis was 512 μg/ml. mat...

conclusions optimization of medium composition and synergistic antimicrobial activity on the cyanobacteria could lead to production of effective antimicrobials. results c. leptolyngbya had antimicrobial activity individually and in synergy with antibiotics against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. the highest activity of the chloroform extract was on gram positive strains and its effect...

To investigate why Rhizobium sp. (Cicer) strain CC 1192 cells accumulate poly-R-3-hydroxybutyrate in the free-living state but not as bacteroids in nodules on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants, we have examined the kinetic properties of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) acetyltransferase (also known as acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-ketothiolase [EC 2.3.1.9]) from both types of cells. The enzym...

The relationship between root morphological and physiological responses to variable P supply in different plant species is poorly understood. We compared root morphological and physiological responses to P supply in seven crop species (Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, Brassica napus, Lupinus albus, Glycine max, Vicia faba, Cicer arietinum) treated with or without 100 mg P kg-1 in two soils (acidic ...

Terminal drought is one of the major constraints in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), causing more than 50% production losses. With the objective of accelerating genetic understanding and crop improvement through genomicsassisted breeding, a draft genome sequence has been assembled for the CDC Frontier variety. In this context, 544.73Mb of sequence data were assembled, capturing of 73.8% of the ge...

A total of 1,013 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were identified in parallel by the Repliscan (Cathra International, Ontario, Canada) and API 20E (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) systems. There was a 62% agreement at the genus level between the two systems. Of the 38% discrepant results, Repliscan classified 22% as "biochemical pattern not on file," 8% as a multiple-genus group which include...
