Periodontitis is a common type of periodontal disease caused by expansion of the early stages of gingivalinflammation. Expansion of inflammation to the tissue structures supporting the teeth can be modified by thepathogenic ability of plaque or host resistance factors. A total of 200 different bacteria have been identified on theplaque. Resistance to antimicrobials can be natural because the microbes develop mechanisms to defendthemselves. Ciprofloxacin is a synthetic drug of the second generation quinolones derivatives. Mechanism of itsaction is to inhibit the activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, which is bactericidal with a broad spectrum against Grampositiveor negative. This observational study identified P. aeruginosa and sensitivity test was performed tociprofloxacin in periodontal abscesses. Study conducted in 23 patients with periodontal abscess. Of those,Pseudomonas was acquired for 8 samples and 4 of them was resistant to ciprofloxacin.

The effects of partial host resistance, temperature, leaf wetness duration, and leaf age on infection and lesion development of pecan scab were evaluated. Trees of cultivars Wichita (susceptible) and Sumner (resistant) were inoculated with conidia of Cladosporium caryigenum and placed in mist chambers set at 15, 25, or 35°C. The trees were removed from the chambers after 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, or 48 h of leaf wetness and placed in a greenhouse to allow disease development. After 8 to 16 days, disease began to develop on both ‘Wichita’ and ‘Sumner’. Logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of a leaf becoming infected was greatest for ‘Wichita’ it decreased with increasing leaf age and temperature and increased with increasing leaf wetness. Leaves on ‘Wichita ’ were susceptible to infection between 2 and 23 days after budbreak, while leaves on ‘Sumner’ were susceptible to infection from 2 to 18 days after budbreak. Infection frequency, lesion size, and conidia production decreased proportionately with increasing leaf age. The magnitude of this effect was greatest on ‘Sumner’. Conidia production was positively correlated with lesion size, and both were positively correlated with infection frequency on both cultivars.

Bacterial leaf spot (BLS) of lettuce is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas hortorum. BLS is more damaging in Florida, where the climate is conducive for disease development. The most effective control method is host resistance currently being developed by the UF/IFAS lettuce breeding program in all lettuce types. This new 4-page publication of the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department was written by Germán Sandoya and D. Calvin Odero.
