| isolation of faecal coliform bacteria from the american alligator (alligator mississippiensis). | to determine whether american alligators (alligator mississippiensis) are an unrecognized poikilothermic source of faecal coliform and/or potential pathogenic bacteria in south carolina's coastal waters. | 2010 | 19735329 |
| detection of aeromonas caviae in the common housefly musca domestica by culture and polymerase chain reaction. | aeromonas caviae has been implicated in diarrhoeal disease of livestock and humans. the potential role of houseflies in the epidemiology of this pathogen was investigated by examining the prevalence of a. caviae in houseflies collected from two south carolina farms and one restaurant. isolation was accomplished by culture of flies in alkaline peptone water followed by identification with aeromonas-specific pcr using novel primers (apw-pcr). all isolates cultured from houseflies were identified a ... | 2001 | 11811891 |
| characterization of fe(iii)-reducing enrichment cultures and isolation of fe(iii)-reducing bacteria from the savannah river site, south carolina. | the savannah river site, south carolina (srs), has been subjected to heavy metal and radionuclide contamination. dissimilatory fe(iii)-reducing bacteria, by reducing insoluble fe(iii) to soluble fe(ii), may enhance contaminant mobility through subsurface environments. in order to investigate populations of the indigenous iron-reducing microbes from the srs, duplicate enrichment cultures were initiated using a 10% inoculum of 7 sediment/soil samples, and serial dilutions were made into wolfe's mi ... | 2006 | 16730954 |
| antibiotic-resistant organisms cultured from atlantic bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) inhabiting estuarine waters of charleston, sc and indian river lagoon, fl. | bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) from estuarine waters of indian river lagoon, fl (irl) and charleston, sc (chs) were cultured to screen for microorganism colonization and to assess antibiotic sensitivity. swabs (n = 909) were collected from the blowhole, gastric fluid, and feces of 171 individual dolphins the most frequently cultured organisms were plesiomonas shigelloides (n = 161), aeromonas hydrophila (n = 144), escherichia coli (n = 85), and pseudomonas fluorescens (n = 82). in desc ... | 2009 | 19415386 |
| isolation, enumeration, and characterization of aeromonas from polluted waters encountered in diving operations. | counts of total viable, aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria, indicator organisms, and aeromonas spp. were made at a diver training site on the anacostia river in washington, d.c. the numbers of aeromonas cells in anacostia river sediment and water increased during periods of elevated water temperature, to maxima of 4 x 10(5) cells per g of sediment and 300 cells per ml of water. correspondingly, aeromonas counts dropped 2 to 4 logs as the water temperature decreased to 0 to 0.5 degrees c. cultures t ... | 1980 | 7396482 |
| aeromonas hydrophila: variability in biochemical characteristics of environmental isolates. | a total of 161 strains, including 144 aeromonads, of which 100 had been isolated from water and sediment samples from the chesapeake bay, five clinical and 33 anacostia river isolates of aeromonas hydrophila, six aeromonas sobria, and ten reference cultures were examined in a numerical taxonomy study in which each of the strains were examined for 56 unit characters. similarity between strains was computed using the simple matching (ssm) and jaccard (sj) coefficients. the strains were clustered b ... | 1991 | 1920081 |
