This paper reports on a study in two remote multilingual Indigenous Australian communities: Yakanarra the Kimberley region of Western Australia and Tennant Creek Barkly Northern Territory. In both communities, processes language shift are underway from traditional (Walmajarri Warumungu respectively) to local creole variety (Fitzroy Valley Kriol Wumpurrarni English respectively). The focuses input primary caregivers group preschool children, children’s productive language. further highlights...
Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the most enduring infectious candidate that may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It possible inconsistencies in prevalence studies of MAP adults reflect clinical differences adult patients studied, including duration and treatment regimens, also lack specificity some assays used. The aim was to determine presence children symptoms Crohn's (CD) ulcerative colitis (UC), using gut biopsy tissue peripheral blood...
SUMMARY The relationship between the cultural and biochemical characteristics of 22 strains Bacteroides nodosus their virulence for sheep was examined. Virulent, intermediate benign were recognised. Although there some colony morphology on hoof medium with 4% agar, colonies one virulent 4 resembled those strains. However, 2% agar blood Euonagar, this strain differed from each other 3 strains, which in turn benign. degree piliation, as assessed by electron microscopy, not a reliable indicator...

Abstract Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis has long been recognized as the causative agent of Johne's disease, a chronic inflammatory intestinal disease sheep, cattle and other ruminants. Mycobacterial cells are extremely hardy, proteomic analyses require use harsh conditions to effect their disruption. We compared effectiveness bead beating sonication cell lysis methods for extraction proteomes . Broad narrow range two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis was used compare numbers...
Effective diagnosis of Johne's disease (JD), particularly at the stage early subclinical infection, remains one greatest challenges for control JD worldwide. The IFN-γ test cell mediated immunity is currently most suitable diagnostics infections, however a major limitation this lack standardised purified protein derivative (PPD) antigen (also referred to as Johnin PPD or PPDj). While attempting replace PPDj with more specific individual antigens an attractive proposition, bacterial culture...
