Objective: To evaluate the detective efficacy of Chromogenic Coliform and Escherichia Coli Agar (CCEA).
Methods: A new chromogenic medium CCEA prepared by Huankai laboratory was used to compare with a classical medium of violet red bile agar (VRBA), and other two Chromogenic media Agar I and Agar II by detecting separately 11 reference strains, thirteen sterile samples with Coliform or E.coli and other four samples, and the accordant rates of detection were observed.
Results: CCEA had the good selectivity. To seven kinds of quality strains in the resultant analysis, CCEA with VRBA and Agar I had not shown salience difference (P > 0.05), and CCEA with Agar II had significant difference (P < 0.05). CCEA showed more advantages than the Agar II. To thirteen sterile samples with Coliform or E.coli in resultant analysis, CCEA with Agar I and Agar II had shown no significant difference (P > 0.05), while CCEA with VRBA had significant difference (P < 0.05). CCEA might be more advantageous than the VRBA. In analysis of the four actual samples of Coliform, CCEA with VRBA, Agar I and Agar II showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). The accordant rates were 90%, 71.88%, 86.25% and 81.25% respectively, showing CCEA > Agar I > Agar II > VRBA. To two actual samples of E.coli in the resultant analysis, the CCEA with Agar I and Agar II had not shown significant difference (P > 0.05). The accordant rates were 100% respectively.
Conclusions: The CCEA might be more advantageous than the VRBA, having the same efficacy as with Agar I and Agar II.

Background: The river ecosystems provide habitats and source of water for a number of species including humans. The uncontrolled accumulation of pollutants in the aquatic environment enhances the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes.
Methods: Water samples were collected seasonally from different sites of Gomti and Ganga River.

Natural soils are reservoirs of potentially beneficial microbes that can improve plant performance. Here, we isolated 75 bacterial strains from surface-sterilised roots of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) grown in a natural soil derived from an alder swamp. Culture-dependent isolation of individual strains from the roots, followed by monoassociation-based screening, identified seven bacteria that promoted Arabidopsis seedling weight.

Background And Aim: is a Gram-negative bacterium causing systemic infections in ducks, often treated with quinolones. However, increasing resistance to quinolones poses a threat to effective treatment, and the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance remain inadequately understood in Thailand. This study aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, and enrofloxacin; identify mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions of and ; and detect () genes in isolates from Thai ducks.

Background: The antibacterial efficacy of chlorhexidine shampoo is directly affected by formulation and bathing factors.
Hypothesis/objective: To evaluate the in vitro antibacterial efficacy of chlorhexidine-containing shampoos at various dilutions and to compare their lathering ability.
Animals: No animals were utilised in this study.
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) are chronic and progressive diseases caused by retroviruses that pose a serious threat to family farming. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with SRLV infection in goats from family farming properties in Alagoas, Northeastern Brazil. In the semiarid region of Alagoas, seventeen family farming properties were visited, distributed across eleven municipalities.
