BACKGROUND Determination of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) can influence the agent used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. We studied diagnostic accuracy using E-test and VITEK(®) 2 against a gold standard broth microdilution (BMD) methodology, the correlation between methods, and associations between vancomycin MIC and MRSA phenotype from ...

in order to determine calcium (ca), magnesium (mg) content and total antioxidant capacity (tac) of seminal plasma in buffalo and to study their associations with the semen characteristics, 54 semen samples were collected from 10 buffalo bulls; semen quality was evaluated, seminal plasma was then harvested by centrifugation and its ca and mg content were estimated and its tac determined. the ca ...

A liquid-impelled reactor (LLR) system was modelled using macro-and micro-balance technique. The relative goodness of using macro-balance was evaluated by comparing its solutions with the results obtained using micro-balance modell. The micro-balance modell formulated was used to investigate the dynamic behaviour of the system and to crosscheck the effectiveness of macro-balance modell. A numer...

The study investigated the nutritive elements of four species Basella and two other commonly eaten vegetables (Amaranthus hybridus Talinum triangulare). are found throughout year. mineral compostion was carried out using standard procedures to determine which these would be more health benefit consumers. Leaves were collected at initiation flowering air-dried under shade for 7 days after they k...
