| oropharyngeal microflora in aboriginal and non-aboriginal australian children. an indicator of environmental contamination. | faecal microorganisms, not normally resident in the oropharynx, were isolated much more often from aboriginal than non-aboriginal australian children. this is almost certainly due to differences in standards of hygiene and living in these two groups, and is an important factor in contributing to the common and serious problem of gastrointestinal infections in young aborigines. in the non-aboriginal group, the isolations of faecal organisms were much more common from infants and from children und ... | 1979 | 117289 |

| evaluation of the cleaning and disinfection efficacy of the deko-190; award-based automated washer/disinfector. | the deko-190 washer-disinfector combines both automatic washing and thermal disinfection functions and is designed for the decontamination of ward utensils (such as bedpans and urine bottles) and instruments used in minor surgery prior to sterilization. we undertook a microbiological evaluation of the disinfection efficacy of the machine, using its short wash plus disinfection programme and sealed suspensions of test organisms placed at various points within the instrument. suspensions of entero ... | 2000 | 11023723 |
| rugulotrosins a and b: two new antibacterial metabolites from an australian isolate of a penicillium sp. | two new antibacterial agents, rugulotrosin a (1) and b (2), were obtained from cultures of a penicillium sp. isolated from soil samples acquired near sussex inlet, new south wales, australia. rugulotrosin a (1) is a chiral symmetric dimer, and its relative stereostructure was determined by spectroscopic and x-ray crystallographic analysis. rugulotrosin b (2) is a chiral asymmetric dimer isomeric with 1. its structure was determined by spectroscopic analysis with comparison to the co-metabolite 1 ... | 2004 | 15104517 |
| australian group on antimicrobial resistance enterococcus surveillance programme annual report, 2010. | in 2010, 15 institutions around australia conducted a period prevalence study of key resistances in isolates of enterococcus species associated with a range of clinical disease amongst in- and outpatients. each institution collected up to 100 consecutive isolates and tested these for susceptibility to commonly used antimicrobials using standardised methods. vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium and enterococcus faecalis were characterised by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. multilocus seque ... | 2013 | 24890955 |
