[The evaluation of lipolytic activity of strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus]. | A total of 103 isolates of CNS (66 strains of S. epidermidis and 37 strains of S. haemolyticus) were investigated. Lipolytic activity of staphylococcal strains was determined by Tryptic Soy Agar containing Tween 20 or Tween 60. The 95.4% strains of staphylococci demonstrated the lipolytic activity on Tween 20 agar and the 89.4% of strains of staphylococci degradation ester of fatty acids on Tweens 60 agar.

catalase-positive cocci in fermented sausage: variability due to different pork breeds, breeding systems and sausage production technology. | the aim of this study was to compare the ecology of catalase-positive cocci (cpc) present in traditional fermented sausages produced using different breeds of pork, each of which was raised in two different environments and processed using two different technologies. semi-quantitative molecular methods were used to determine bacterial identities. almost all fermentations were characterised by a significant increase in cpc during the first few days of fermentation, reaching values of 10(5)-10(6) ... | 2012 | 22202871 |
Staphylococcus haemolyticus as an Important Hospital Pathogen and Carrier of Methicillin Resistance Genes. | Phenotypic and molecular methods were used to characterize the antibiotic resistance of 64 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus haemolyticus. By PCR of the mecA gene, 87% were found to be methicillin resistant. Approximately 55% harbored staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element (SCCmec) type V, and only one SCCmec type IV. Many isolates (75%) displayed multiresistance, and pulsotype analysis showed a high diversity. | 2012 | 21976766 |

[the flow-volume curve. expression of emptying as a function of venous distensibility]. | mercury strain gauge venous occlusion plethysmography is a non invasive exploration of the lower limb venous hemodynamic. classically, venous distensibility (delta v/v %) is expressed in terms of time during venous inflow (venous occlusion) and venous outflow (after cuff deflation). the authors proposed to express the total flow q of the limb (obtained by a differentiator of the electric signal of the strain gauge) in terms of the venous distensibility (delta v/v %) whatever recording a top each ... | 2013 | 3585186 |
