Diversity of non-clinical Acinetobacter species in a sub-saharan Africa region: evidence of carbapenem-hydrolysing class D-β-lactamase producers

[Excerpt] Although Acinetobacter baumannii has been the main agent for healthcare infections, recent reports suggest that some Acinetobacter environmental species should be considered as a potential cause of disease. In Angola, there are no previous data on its environmental reservoirs and resistance features. We aimed to unveil the occurrence and diversity of Acinetobacter species and the presence of resistance mechanisms in different non-clinical settings in Angola.

Nota sôbre um possível fator sub-letal em gado Holstein-Friesian

In this note the A. A. relate the occurrence of a possible sub-lethal factor, on the Holstein-Friesian herd of Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", Piracicaba. The sire Horto was mated with his own mother, Brisa, and so, were obtained two calves, a male and a female, consecutively. Both the calves presented flexion and deviation of the fore legs. The sire's death has not alloved further observations. The study of these history cases excludes the mother's nutritional deficiency, as the cause of related phenomenon. In the consulted literature, VEIGA and MEAD et al. relate similar cases, although these are observed in other breeds of cattle The A. A. admit that cause of occurrence is a possible sublethal recessive factor, put in evidence by inbreeding.

Estudo de correlação entre a postura e dimensões da bacia em Rhode Island Red

The AA. have studied, in this paper, the correlation of egg production in yearling R. I. R. pullets and the difference between the pelvic bones, an between the pelvic bones and keel. The distances between those bones were measured by the fingers. It was suggested an index = spread of pelvic x spread of keel bone. These three data were compared with the last 30 days production and with the production to date - six months. Comparisons have been made with 285 pullets. The AA. have concluded: (a) there is a positive correlation between the spread of the pelvic bones and the last 30 days (r = + 0,23 and pr = + 0,16); (b) there is not correlation of the distance between the pelvic bories to the keel and the last 30 days (r = + 0,11 and pr = - 0,01; (c) there is positive correlation of the distance between the pelvic bones to the keel and last six months production (r = + 0,27 and pr = + 0,19); (d) the correlation of the index sugested pratically equals correlation between pelvic bones (r = + 0,27 and pr = + 0,19); (e) correlation between last 30 days production and the total egg production is high (r = + 0,55 and pr = 0,53). Is is stated that spread of the pelvic bones is a low index of actual production and the distance of the keel a low index of total egg production in R. I. R. pullets. The last month real production is a better index of the total egg production.
