Fifty-seven species of common seaweed from the Coast of Korea were screened for antimicrobial (i.e. inhibition of Prevotella intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis growth) activity. As a source of bioactive compounds, seaweeds can produce many secondary metabolites with a variety of activities. Using the agar diffusion method, only 17 species (29.8%) showed inhibitory activity. Of these, metha...

BACKGROUND Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157 is a virulent zoonotic strain of enterohaemorrhagic E. coli. In Scotland (1998-2008) the annual reported rate of human infection is 4.4 per 100,000 population which is consistently higher than other regions of the UK and abroad. Cattle are the primary reservoir. Thus understanding infection dynamics in cattle is paramount to reducing human infections.A...

Low-level jets (LLJs) are the wind maxima in lowest 50 to 1000 m of atmospheric boundary layers. Due their significant influence on power production farms, it is crucial understand interaction between LLJs and farms. In presence a LLJ, there positive negative shear regions velocity profile. The continuously turbulent, while have limited turbulence. We present large eddy simulations farms which ...

This study was conducted to compare the gene expression profiles, after Eimeria maxima infection, between 2 B-complex congenic lines of Fayoumi chickens that display differences in disease resistance and innate immunity against avian coccidiosis using cDNA microarray. When compared with uninfected controls using a cutoff of >2.0-fold alteration (P < 0.05), M5.1 demonstrated altered expression o...

– The response of turbulent flow to time-modulated forcing is studied by direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations. The large-scale forcing is modulated via periodic energy input variations at frequency ω. The response is maximal for frequencies in the range of the inverse of the large eddy turnover time, confirming the mean-field predictions of von der Heydt, Grossmann and Lo...

Prevalence, causative factors, treatment, and preventative measures for O149:K91:F4 Escherichia coli infection of postweaning pigs was determined by using a cross-sectional study including 70 farms in Ontario. Surveys were distributed and samples cultured bacteriologically, resulting in 30% of farms testing positive to E. coli 0149:K91:F4. Possible causative factors, such as housing or nutritio...

OBJECTIVES To describe the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among commensal Escherichia coli isolates on household and small-scale chicken farms, common in southern Vietnam, and to investigate the association of antimicrobial resistance with farming practices and antimicrobial usage. METHODS We collected data on farming and antimicrobial usage from 208 chicken farms. E. coli was isolate...

The marine habitat has produced a significant number of very potent marine-derived agents that have the potential to inhibit the growth of human tumor cells in vitro and, in a number of cases, in both in vivo murine models and in humans. Although many agents have entered clinical trials in cancer, to date, only Cytarabine, Yondelis® (ET743), Eribulin (a synthetic derivative based on the structu...
