| a longitudinal study of shiga-toxigenic escherichia coli (stec) prevalence in three australian diary herds. | over a 12 month period, 588 cattle faecal samples and 147 farm environmental samples from three dairy farms in southeast queensland were examined for the presence of shiga-toxigenic escherichia coli (stec). samples were screened for shiga toxin gene (stx) using pcr. samples positive for stx were filtered onto hydrophobic grid membrane filters and stec identified and isolated using colony hybridisation with a stx-specific dna probe. serotyping was performed to identify serogroups commonly associa ... | 2000 | 10665540 |
| surveillance for antibiotic resistance in veterinary pathogens from the perspective of a regional diagnostic laboratory. | the toowoomba veterinary laboratory tests for antibiotic resistance through passive surveillance of bacterial pathogens from diseased, frequently intensively managed, animals. testing is carried out on the basis of the number of animals involved, the nature and severity of the disease and the identity and significance of the bacterium, the results guiding the submitting veterinarian in implementing appropriate treatment. the antibiotics chosen for testing are those that are currently registered ... | 2003 | 12807288 |
| Carriage of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli by native marsupials in Australia. | Shiga-toxigenic strains of Escherichia coli (STEC) are zoonotic pathogens with human health, meat processing and trade impacts. Cattle are the principal reservoirs of STEC, although other animals can be carriers. The STEC status of Australian native marsupials has not been formatively described to date. The aim of the current study was to investigate carriage of STEC by native Australian marsupials in Southeast Queensland. Faeces from a variety of marsupial species, stratified by gastrointestina ... | 2011 | 21917387 |
