Symptoms suggesting infection of the urinary tract are common. In domiciliary practice they are encountered in 12 to 20 of every 1,000 consultations. During the past fifteen years quantitative bacteriology has shown the important role of bacteriuria in causing these symptoms. At a time when considerable medical resources are being invested in treating terminal renal failure, interest in a preve...

Emphasis has recently been directed upon the clinical importance of "cold growing" (psychrophilic) as well as "gwarm growing" (mesophilic) bacteria as a source of contamination in banked blood (Stevens et al., 1953; Pittman, 1953; Wetterlow et al, 1954). These authors stressed that certain psychrophilic organisms are killed at an incubation temperature of 37 C and that it is therefore important...

OBJECTIVES Acinetobacter spp. has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections in many health-care settings worldwide. The study describes the clinico-epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of Acinetobacter spp. in a tertiary health-care institution. Methodology : Acinetobacter spp. were isolated from 141 specimens of the patients who reported to U...

Introduction: Mobile phones are in close contact with body serving transportation of bacteria in hospital settings. Further, sharing of mobile phones among health care workers & non Health care workers distinctly facilitate the spread of potentially pathogenic bacteria to the community. Aims & Objective: To study the bacterial flora present on cell phones of II & III MBBS students & to compare ...

Background and Objectives Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are one of the major interests of researchers. Traditional vinegars are suitable sources of AAB because they are not undergone industrial process like filtering and adding preservatives. Komagataeibacter xylinus as a member of AAB is known as the main cellulose producer among other bacteria. The purpose of the current study was to isolate the...

In this study, we performed a bacteriological investigation on bovine respiratory infections. Additionally, the study evaluates the efficacy of florfenicol 30 µg produced by Rooyan Darou Company (test group) as compared to a similar drug produced by Aboraihan Company (control group). Sampling was carried out on 30 calves at two farms with 30-55% incidence rate of respiratory disorders. Nasophar...

The study was undertaken to determine bacterial contamination of warm-water fish ponds and silver carps harvested from those ponds in Guilan province, Iran. In this respect, water samples were taken from 7 ponds and investigated by testing total bacteria, coliforms, and Escherichia coli. In addition, skin swab samples of silver carps caught from each pond were studied for enumeration of the sam...

The mutation tool, the genetic and bacteriological libraries and the case study are available at http://franck.fleurey.free.fr Abstract In this paper, we present several complementary computational intelligence techniques that we explored in the field of .Net component testing. Mutation testing, associated to a global testing-for-trust methodology, serves as the common backbone for applying cla...

The bacteriological and physiochemical qualities of hospital wastewater discharged into the environment from University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Benin City was investigated to assess the influence of the hospital wastewater in the receiving environment. The bacteriological parameters were carried out using the standard microbiological techniques. The bacteriological parameters examine...
