chronic granulomatous otitis media in bottle-fed inuit children.	otitis media in inuit children is a problem of relatively recent origin and unknown cause. the prevalence of otitis media in 238 inuit and 47 caucasian children in nain, a small community in labrador, was determined by examination, and the history of breast-feeding or bottle-feeding was obtained. the prevalence of otitis media was found to be inversely related to the age at which bottle-feeding was started. clinical observations suggest that otitis media in inuit children is part of a process le ...	1980	6989465
susceptibility of psychrotrophic pseudomonads of milk origin to psychrotrophic bacteriophages.	a total of 47 psychrotrophic pseudomonads isolated from raw milk came from newfoundland (19 isolates), british columbia (6 isolates), ontario (19 isolates), and cork, ireland (3 isolates). the susceptibility of these was tested against 30 bacteriophages isolated from cold-storage beef. distinct lysotypes were observed with isolates representing different geographic regions. phages as agents in the control of bacterial populations in milk is discussed.	1986	3954353

highly presumptive identification of bacterial isolates associated with the recent canada-wide mastitis epizootic as nocardia farcinica.	a highly presumptive identification of nocardia farcinica was made of 47 bacterial isolates. fifteen isolates from alberta, 9 from ontario, and 2 each from new brunswick, newfoundland, and nova scotia were from clinical cases involved in the canadian mastitis epizootic. seventeen additional isolates from alberta were recovered from farm milk bulk tanks from herds found to have cows involved in the epizootic. all isolates were shown by high-performance liquid chromatography to possess mycolic aci ...	1993	8364799
seroprevalence of coxiella burnetii in selected populations of domestic ruminants in newfoundland.	the seroprevalence of coxiella burnetii among cattle, sheep, and goats in newfoundland was determined by microimmunofluorescence. seropositivity to phase ii antigen increased in sheep from 3.1% in 1997 to 23.5% in 1999-2000 (p < 0.001). cows (24%) had antibodies to phase i antigen; goats (15.6%) had antibodies to phase ii antigen. seroprevalence of c. burnetii is increasing among sheep.	2002	12001502
