The main approach to curbing mastitis is to prevent the entry of microorganisms from the outer environment into the mammary gland, which is achieved by the use of papilla disinfection following every time of milking. The objective of this work was to examine the antimicrobial activity of the disinfectant dodicin hydrochloride, in fact the preparation that contains this disinfectant (DESU? M), against bacteria, the most frequent causes of mastitis in cows. The efficacy of modified DESU? Mwas examined under laboratory conditions using the quantitative test against the following microorganisms: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus uberis, under the conditions in the field. The udders of an experimental group of 20 cows of the Holstein-Friesian breed were immersed in a solution of the modified preparation DESU ? M following every time of milking over a period of three months. In the second group of 10 cows of the Holstein-Friesian breed, marked as the control group, no disinfection was applied following the milkings. The preparation DESU? Mexhibited satisfactory antimicrobial efficacy against the most frequent causes (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus uberis) of mastitis in cows under laboratory conditions. With the application of the preparation DESU? M, following every time of milking over a period of three months, the number of somatic cells was reduced by almost one half in comparison with their number at the start of the experiment. No residue of the modified preparation DESU ? M were found in any sample of milk from the experimental group of cows.

The mastitis of dairy goats is a disease of the economic importance worldwide and is mostly associated with bacterial infections. The aim of this study was to isolate the bacteriae causing subclinical mastitis, and determine to the susceptibility of some clinical isolates against several antimicrobial agents frequently used to control bacterial subclinical mastitis in dairy goats in the Southern Marmara Region. A total of 68 Saanen goats were used for this investigation and subclinical mastitis was determined by using California Mastitis Test. As a result of bacteriological analysis of milk samples, 30 different bacteria species have been identified and non-aureus staphylococci found to be the predominant bacteria species with the rate of 22.1%. The species with the highest isolation rate among the isolates were Escherichia coli (18.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (15.7%), Streptococcus agalactiae (14.2%) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (7.9%). The antimicrobial susceptibility of the high isolation rate species including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus uberis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Mannheimia haemolytica to twelve antibiotics were determined by disc diffusion method. Bacterial strains analyzed showed highest sensitivity to ofloxacin (87.9%) and followed by cefuroxime (85.8%) and cefazolin (83.6%). In conclusion, subclinical mastitis still remains a problem in dairy goats, and for the elimination of subclinical mastitis, besides protective measures, determination of the bacteriae causing mastitis and their antibiotic sensitivities should be priority.

Impacto Económico

La mastitis bovina es una enfermedad de alto impacto económico para la industria lechera, y algunos de los agentes etiológicos que la provocan también son de interés en el ámbito de salud pública. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar las especies bacterianas aisladas de casos de mastitis bovina, provenientes de siete establos lecheros ubicados en la Península de Baja California. Se tomaron 316 muestras de leche de igual número de cuartos, pertenecientes a 186 vacas en producción que a la prueba de California tuvieron reacción positiva. Se obtuvieron 182 aislados bacterianos de 163 cuartos pertenecientes a 106 vacas y se identificaron por PCR y secuenciación, dando un total de 20 especies diferentes. Además, se obtuvieron las frecuencias relativas, siendo los agentes causales más frecuentes: Staphylococcus aureus (58.8 %), Streptococcus agalactiae (13.2 %), Staphylococcus chromogenes (8.8 %), Escherichia coli (2.2 %) y Streptococcus uberis (2.2 %). El 6.13 % (10/163) de los cuartos con aislamiento presentaron infección mixta, siendo la combinación más frecuente S. aureus con S. agalactiae 30 % (3/10). Estos resultados indican una alta frecuencia y diversidad de patógenos de carácter contagioso y ambiental que provocan mastitis en ganado lechero en la región de estudio, siendo algunos de importancia para la salud pública. Los resultados observados, muestran que las causas de la mastitis son diversas, por lo que es indispensable mejorar las medidas de control y prevención, pero también establecer el diagnóstico de rutina para lograr controlar la mastitis.

Resumo: A mastite é a principal afecção do gado destinado à produção leiteira, que impacta significativamente a cadeia produtiva do leite, com reflexos ainda para a saúde pública. Estudou-se aspectos relacionados à etiologia, celularidade e de contagem bacteriana em 10 propriedades leiteiras, localizadas no Estado de São Paulo. Foram examinadas 1148 vacas em lactação, totalizando 4584 glândulas mamárias. Foram considerados os casos, em que houve isolamento de estafilococos coagulase positiva (SCP) e estafilococos coagulase negativa (SCN). Os resultados revelaram microbiota com vários patógenos e diferentes espécies de SCN (128 casos) e SCP (45), Staphylococcus aureus(90), Streptococcus agalactiae(70), Streptococcus dysgalactiae (69), Streptococcus uberis(29), Corynebacteriumspp. (230), Klebsiella pneumoniae(28), Klebsiella oxytoca(2), Escherichia coli(15), Enterobactersp. (3). Os resultados de contagem de células somáticas (CCS) relacionados aos SCP e SCN não mostraram diferenças entre as propriedades avaliadas, entretanto com diferenças significantes ao se avaliar a CCS entre os dois grupos de estafilococos, como pode ser evidenciado ao comparar SCN Discreto e SCP exuberante (P<0,01), SCP Discreto e SCP exuberante (P<0,001) e SCN moderado e SCP exuberante (P<0,01). A avaliação da CCS relacionada à intensidade da infecção, considerando-se como crescimento discreto o isolamento de até nove colônias, moderado de dez a 29 colônias e exuberante, com 30 ou mais colônias, revelou para ambos os grupos de estafilococos que quanto maior o número de unidades formadoras de colônias (UFC), a CCS é mais elevada, sendo sempre maior nos casos de SCP. Conclui-se que quando há maior número de UFC, há concomitantemente maior CCS/mL de leite, no caso dos SCP e SCN, o que mostra relação direta da intensidade do processo infeccioso com a resposta da celularidade do leite, bem como pela relevância desses na etiologia das mastites e dos aspectos negativos tanto para a produção, quanto na qualidade do leite produzido nas propriedades.

Introduction: Removable dentures are used by 20% of the population. These may be accompanied by denture stomatitis in 15-70% of patients. The choice of the optimal cleansing agent for removable dental prostheses is of high significance. Aim: The aim of our research was to study the influence of removable denture cleansing products on the adhesion of microorganisms and yeast. Materials and Methods: We manufactured 144 specimens of standardized round shape with a diameter of 10 mm from 4 types of modern polymeric materials used by prosthetic dentistry to produce removable dentures, 12 specimens of each material were placed into suspensions of bacterial cultures of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, then into “ClearaSept” (Test group 1), “Рrotefix active cleanser” (Test group 2), saline solution (Control group), followed by nutrient media. The adhesion index was calculated and analyzed. Results: There was no reliable lowering of adhesion index of Staphylococcus Aureus to all materials detected in Test group 1 (U=6, p>0.05 for Bio XS; U=8, p>0.05 for Dental D, Denotokeep Peek, Vertex Rapid Simplified). In Test group 2, the adhesion index of Staphylococcus Aureus reliably decreased to all materials compared to the Control group (U=0, p≤0.01). The adhesion index of Candida albicans and Escherichia coli to all materials in Test group 1 had a minor to moderate reliable reduction compared to the Control group (U=0, p≤0.01). Test group 2 showed a significant reliable decrease in Candida albicans and Escherichia coli adhesion index to all materials in comparison with the Control group (U=0, p≤0.01). Conclusion: The research showed an unreliable or minor and moderate reliable decrease in microorganisms adhesion index depending on the microorganism species after treatment of denture material specimens by antibacterial soap “ClearaSept” and a reliable significant decrease in microbial and yeast adhesion after application of Protefix active cleaner solution, which demonstrates a more significant antimicrobial effect in comparison to “ClearaSept” against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans.

Suckling Mice

The possibility of adherence of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli or Streptococcus agalactiae to the epithelium of the mammary gland was investigated by inoculating them into this gland of mice. S. aureus, S. epidermidis and E. coli did not adhere to alveolar epithelium in suckling or non-suckling mice. S. agalactiae adhered to alveolar epithelium in non-suckling mice but adhesion was not sufficiently strong to withstand suckling. Bacterial adherence probably does not play a significant role in the establishment of mastitis by these organisms.

Ova studija predstavlja podatke prikupljene iz Veterinarske stanice “Zevet” d.o.o. Zenica, Bosna i Hercegovina o zastupljenosti bakterijskih patogena kod klinički prisutnih mastitisa mliječnih goveda i profilima njihove antimikrobne osjetljivosti. Za laboratorijsku izolaciju obrađena su 52 uzorka od kojih su 23 bila bakteriološki pozitivna. Najčešći izolati bili su Staphylococcus aureus u 21,74 % uzoraka i Streptococcus agalactiae u 17,39 % izolira- nih uzoraka, koagulaza-negativni stafilokoki (13,04 %), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13,04 %), Ente- rococcus spp. (8,70 %), Escherichia coli (8,70 %), Streptococcus spp., Enterobacter, Serratia spp. i Yersinia enterocolitica (4,35 %). Najveća antimikrobna otpornost među izolatima primjećena je na benzilpenicilin (56,25 %) i oksitetraciklin (46,15 %) s ukupnom otpornosti na uporabljena antimikrobna sredstava od 25,99 %. Na tri testirana antimikrobna sredstva (neomicin, klindamicin i cefotaksim) izolati nisu pokazali otpornost. Ostali antibiotici na koje je primijećena niska ukupna otpornost su ciprofloksacin (5,56 %) i ofloksacin (6,67 %). Samo jedan izolat nije pokazao nikakvu otpornost na testirane antimikrobike (S. aureus). Najveću otpornost među izolatima pokazao je Enterococcus spp., pokazujući senzibilitet samo za tetracikline. S. aureus je pokazao otpornost na benzilpenicilin i cefaleksin u 60 % slučajeva. Svi izolati S. agalactiae su bili otporni na tetracikline, oksitetracikline i gentamicin. Koagulaza negativni stafilokoki pokazali su otpornost na cefaleksin u dva slučaja i otpornost na benzilpenicilin, eri- tromicin i oksacilin u jednom izolatu. Klebsiella pneumoniae je pokazala otpornost na cefaleksin, amoksicilin i benzilpenicilin u svim ispitivanim izolatima, a pokazala je i otpornost na tetracikline u dva izolata. Svi ostali izolati pokazali su otpornost prema najmanje jednom testiranom antimikrobiku. U 46 slučajeva se odmah pristu- palo liječenju s 86,96 % uspjehom koji je procijenjen na osnovu izostanka kliničkog relapsa i smanjenja broja somatskih stanica u dopuštene granice za tri tjedna nakon provedene terapije.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the percentage of participation of particular species of microorganisms, isolated from the uterus of cows with endometritis and from cows without inflammatory lesions of the uterus, in the same postpartum period. The aim of the study was also to examine how long after parturition non-treated endometritis persists. Moreover, antibiotic susceptibility tests were carried out of the bacterial isolates dominating in the uterus. Forty cows were included in the study: 20 cows with endometritis (experimental group) and 20 cows without any inflammatory condition of the uterus (control group). The material for cytological and bacteriological tests was collected on the 5th, 26th, 40thand 60thday after parturition, using an intrauterine brush adapted for cows. The total number of collected isolates was 149, including 120 isolates from the uterus of cows with endometritis and 29 isolates from the uterus of cows without endometritis. The following species of microorganisms were isolated from the material collected from cows with endometritis: T. pyogenes (49.2%), E.coli (22.5%), F. necrophorum (11.7%), Staphylococcus sp. (6.7%), B. melaninogenicus (5.8%), and Streptococcus sp. (4.1%). The participation percentage of particular species of bacteria in the material collected from the uterus of cows without endometritis was as follows: T. pyogenes (27.6%), E.coli (24.2%), Staphylococcus sp. (20.7%), Streptococcus sp. (20.7%), B. melaninogenicus (3.4%) and F. necrophorum (3.4%). The highest percentage of T. pyogenes isolates was susceptible to ceftiofur (89.6%); cefoperazone (85.1%) and amoxicillin combined with clavulanic acid (79.1%). E. coli isolates were most susceptible to amoxicillin combined with clavulanic acid (100%), cefoperazone (94.1%) and oxytetracycline (82.3%).

ABSTRACT Putative N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanine amidase genes from LambdaSa1 and LambdaSa2 prophages of Streptococcus agalactiae were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified enzymes lysed the cell walls of Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. The peptidoglycan digestion products in the cell wall lysates were not consistent with amidase activity. Instead, the structure of the muropeptide digestion fragments indicated that both the LambdaSa1 and LambdaSa2 lysins exhibited γ-d-glutaminyl-l-lysine endopeptidase activity. The endopeptidase cleavage specificity of the lysins was confirmed using a synthetic peptide substrate corresponding to a portion of the stem peptide and cross bridge of Streptococcus agalactiae peptidoglycan. The LambdaSa2 lysin also displayed β-d-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity.
