The World Health Organization recommends untargeted iron supplementation for women of reproductive age (WRA) in countries where anemia prevalence is greater than 40%, such as Cambodia. Iron supplements, however, often have poor bioavailability, so the majority remains unabsorbed colon. gut houses many iron-dependent bacterial enteropathogens; thus, providing to individuals may be more harmful helpful. We examined effects two oral supplements with differing bioavailability on microbiomes...
The virucidal activities of 11 prepared disinfectant solutions (active ingredients household sanitizers) and 10 sanitizers against bacteriophage MS2 on plastic stainless steel surfaces were studied. Among the sanitizers, 70-90% ethanol ethanol-based disinfectants resulted in 1-2.5 log PFU/mL reductions both surfaces. 70% isopropanol isopropanol-based formula reduced by 0.7-1.5 Other disinfectants, containing 0.1% benzalkonium chloride (BAC), 0.5% hydrogen peroxide, or 4% acetic acid, showed...
Antibiotic resistance (AR) phenotypes and acquired determinants (ARDs) detected by in silico analysis of genome sequences were examined 55 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates representing diverse serotypes recovered from surfaces waters sediments a mixed use urban/agricultural landscape British Columbia, Canada. The displayed decreased susceptibility to florfenicol (65.5%), chloramphenicol (7.3%), tetracycline (52.7%), ampicillin (49.1%), streptomycin (34.5%), kanamycin...
