The flat oyster Ostrea edulis L. is widespread along the Italian coasts. In particular, Manfredonia Gulf (Adriatic Sea) represents an important site where natural beds subsist. Previous monitoring conducted in 1990 by light microscopy and ultrastructural studies revealed presence of Bonamia-like microcell parasites some oysters: following this observation, a new sampling O. was carried out at location 2007. Of 750 oysters collected, 3 showed uninucleated microcells (2 to microm diameter)...
A computational model equipped with the main immunological features of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) immune system was used to predict more effective vaccination in fish. The performance evaluated by using results two vivo vaccinations trials against L. anguillarum and P. damselae.Tests were performed select appropriate doses vaccine infectious bacteria set up model. Simulation outputs compared specific antibody production expression BcR TcR gene transcripts spleen. has shown a good...
La prima valutazione oggettiva effettuata durante la procedura chirurgica e nel follow-up dei pazienti sottoposti ad impianto cocleare è misura dellimpedenza degli elettrodi. Tale fornisce informazioni sia sullintegrità elettrodi sul mezzo circostante gli stessi ed uno principali fattori responsabili consumi energetici dellimpianto cocleare. In questo studio abbiamo valutato in adulti con array perimodiolare, le variazioni tempo elettrodi, valutando differenze nelle varie partizioni...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a relevant opportunistic and difficult to treat pathogen due its widespread environmental diffusion, intrinsic resistance many classes of antimicrobials, high ability acquire additional mechanisms, wide range pathogenic factors. The present study aimed investigate the prevalence P. in canine clinical samples, antimicrobial susceptibility against antipseudomonal antibiotics, presence extracellular factors isolates, as well their produce biofilm.Overall, 300 specimens...
Fifteen cases of Friedreich's ataxia (FA) were examined using an otoneurological test battery that included tone and speech audiometry, the synthetic sentence identification (SSI) test, impedance cortical auditory-evoked response (CAER), brainstem (ABR) electronystagmography. We also obtained ABR CAER findings in 2 familial spastic paraplegia, 5 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 6 atypical FA uncertain classification. The results puretone audiometry normal all cases. could not be elicited 11...
How is music perceived by cochlear implant (CI) users? This question arises as "the next step" given the impressive performance obtained these patients in language perception. Furthermore, how can perception be evaluated beyond self-report rating, order to obtain meas- urable data? To address this question, estimation of frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) alpha activity imbalance, acquired through a 19-channel EEG cap, appears suitable instrument measure approach/withdrawal (AW index)...
The placement of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) is potentially associated with complications that negatively impact healthcare. Our study investigated factors the occurrence PIVC-related in dogs and cats at a Veterinary Teaching Hospital. second aim was to determine prevalence PIVC bacterial colonization. A total 76 40 PIVCs were evaluated for phlebitis mechanical complications. devices removed when they ceased be functional or occurred, content submitted cultures antimicrobial...
Summary Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a predator micro‐organism towards other Gram‐negative bacteria. We tested B. to control Escherichia coli growth on chicken slices and canned beef. Moreover, we analysed bacteriovorus's lytic ability eight toxigenic or multidrug‐resistant E. strains. In slices, the induced highest prey reduction (4.3 log) respect at 6 h. beef, (2.1 showed all could pathogenic spoilage bacteria in those meat‐based foods that have shelf life <10 days. It integrate...
The human food-borne pathogens Arcobacter butzleri and A. cryaerophilus have been frequently isolated from the intestinal tracts fecal samples of different farm animals and, after excretion, these microorganisms can contaminate environment, including aquatic one. In this regard, detected in seawater bivalves coastal areas which are affected by contamination. capability bivalve hemocytes to interact with bacteria has proposed as main factor inversely conditioning their persistence bivalve....
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, severe respiratory disorder caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. (Mmm). The present study investigated generation ROS different strains Mmm, as well their effect on oxidative response neutrophils. production was indirectly measured using luminol-based chemiluminescence assay. Our results confirm that Mmm can produce via metabolism glycerol, significant differences existing...
The investigation of bacterial microbiota represents a developing research field in veterinary medicine intended to look for correlations between animal health and the balance within populations. aim present work was define oral cavity healthy sows, which had not been thoroughly described so far. In total, 22 samples fluid were collected analyzed by 16S-rRNA gene sequencing. CLC Genomics Workbench 20.0 (QIAGEN Digital Insights, Aarhus, Denmark) then used examine results. predominant orders...
Polyserositis mostly affects 4–8 weeks old piglets and is usually caused by Glaesserella parasuis, and/or Streptococcus suis, Mycoplasma hyorhinis. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence etiology of polyserositis in a tricky pig herd. concurrent effect vaccination for Glässer’s disease was also assessed. A total 46 sows 387 were herein investigated, subdivided into three groups based on their immune status (i.e., piglets). All found spontaneously dead between 2nd 16th week age...
