Antibiotic susceptibility situation of environmental isolates in Southern Germany.

Antimicrobial resistance is an emerging problem in hospitals and long-term healthcare facilities. Early detection of susceptibility pattern changes in pathogenic bacteria can prevent treatment failures. Therefore, this study chose to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility situation of isolates from hospitals and long-term healthcare facilities in Southern Germany.

[Antimicrobial in vitro effects of eight essential oils on Pasteurella multocida and Mannheimia haemolytica from nasopharyngeal swab samples of fattening calves].

Essential oils are secondary metabolites of aromatic plants and are used in phytotherapy to treat various diseases. In the present study, eight selected essential oils - ajwain oil (Trachyspermum ammi L.), fennel oil (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.

Screening of Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils against Bovine Respiratory Pathogens - Focusing on Pasteurella multocida.

Administration of essential oils as natural plant products with antimicrobial activity might be an alternative to antibiotic treatment of bovine respiratory disease. The aim of this study was to analyse the antimicrobial activity of 11 essential oils against isolated from the respiratory tract of calves using microdilution with determination of minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentration as well as agar disc diffusion. Additionally, antimicrobial activity against and bacteria in the clade was assessed by agar disc diffusion.

Distinct Features of Canine Non-conventional CD4CD8α Double-Negative TCRαβ vs. TCRγδ T Cells.

The role of conventional TCRαβCD4 or TCRαβCD8α single-positive (sp) T lymphocytes in adaptive immunity is well-recognized. However, non-conventional T cells expressing TCRαβ or TCRγδ but lacking CD4 and CD8α expression [i.e.

Antifungal in vitro Activity of Essential Oils against Clinical Isolates of Malassezia pachydermatis from Canine Ears: A Report from a Practice Laboratory.

Background: The yeast Malassezia pachydermatis is a commensal but also the most isolated pathogenic yeast in canine otitis externa. Essential oils (EOs) exhibit antimicrobial activity and thus could be an alternative for treatment of otitis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the in vitro efficacy of EOs against M.
