This report from Golembeski and Emery adds to the small quantity of literature in this field. Drs Golembeski and Emery claim that they are presenting information that counters our statement,"The abnormalities in fatty acid composition of the cystic fibrosis milk may contraindicate its use for the nursing infant." However, no data regarding fatty acid composition were presented. In their Table, only total lipids are shown. In our study, we acknowledged that mean total lipids were sufficient to supply the energy needs of the nursing infant.

In response to the article by Bitman et al concerning the lipid composition in the breast milk of women with cystic fibrosis, we would like to share information about a recent case from our clinic and present information that counters the statement, "abnormalities in the fatty acid composition of cystic fibrosis milk may contraindicate its use for the nursing infant."

It is found that gamma radiation leads to a significant decrease in the skin of rabbits content of these fatty acids, as meristinіс, pantadekanovaya, palmitic, palmitoleic, linoleic, arachidonic, and at the end issledvany, ie 76 Tide day, the concentration of fatty acids increased, and meristinіс palmitoleic and close to the physiological norm.

The sensitivity of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A and ATCC 19114 to antimicrobial compounds was altered when bacterial membrane lipid composition was modified by growth in the presence of added fatty acids. Analysis of cellular fatty acid composition by gas-liquid chromatography indicated that L. monocytogenes Scott A cells contained 0.97, 2.32, 0.81, and 0.72% (relative) of C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, and C18:l, respectively. In the presence of exogenously supplied C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, and C18:l, the percentages increased to 14.03, 30.92, 16.30, and 27.90%. Average MICs for L. monocytogenes Scott A and ATCC 19114 to sodium chloride, tertiary butylhydroquinone, methyl paraben, and propyl paraben were 10.0%, 81, 1406, and 544 μg/ml, respectively. Growing either strain in the presence of 50 μg/ml of either exogenously added C14:0 or C18:0 fatty acids increased their resistance to the four antimicrobial compounds. However, growth in the presence of C18:1 led to increased sensitivity to the antimicrobial agents. The results indicate that the susceptibility of L. monocytogenes to antimicrobial agents is related to the lipid composition of the cell membrane. Consequently, food preservation processes which alter fatty acid composition of L. monocytogenes could result in changes in antimicrobial susceptibility.
