Composting manure, if done properly, should kill pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7, providing for an environmentally safe product. Over a 3-year period, samples of composted dairy manure, representing 11 composting operations (two to six samples per producer; 100 total samples), were screened for Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 and were all culture negative. Non...

Results of serotyping of 122 strains of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolated on 21 swine farms in the Czech Republic from January 1999 to December 2000 are presented. The highest prevalence was found for serotype 9 (n = 81, 66.4%), followed by serotype 2 (n = 19, 15.7%). Serotypes 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11, and 12 were identified only sporadically. Twenty-six of the isolates were tested for gene-to...

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have emerged worldwide and have became resistant to a variety of antibiotics. MRSA colonisation in pigs was first reported in the Netherlands at 2005, where pigs were implicated as a source of human MRSA infections. Dust samples were collected from six large pig farms in Croatia from breeding pig facilities. On each farm, between 5 and 6 sample...

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el efecto tratamiento con florfenicol en las dosis de 10 y 20 mg/kg administrados por vía IM, la pioderma canina Staphylococcus intermedius, utilizando modelamiento farmacocinético/farmacodinámico (PK/PD). Se hizo una simulación Monte Carlo los parámetros farmacocinéticos farmacodinámicos luego se realizó análisis PK/PD para determinar tasas eficacia...

Fifty-five Aeromonas hydrophila isolates, which were colected from infected tilapia Oreochromis niloticus at aquaculture farms in Thailand, were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibilities against 11 drugs including ampicilin (ABPC), kanamycin (KM), streptomycin (SM), chloramphenicol (CP), florfenicol (FF), tetracycline (TC), sulfamonomethoxine (SMMX), trimethoprim (TMP) and three quinolone...
