Atrophic rhinitis of swine--a multifactorial disease?

Atrophic rhinitis is caused by toxigenic Pasteurella multocida strains. The infection is supported by Bordetella bronchiseptica and other widespread agents and by non-infectious factors damaging the nasal epithelium. The term "infectious multifactorial disease" means in German, that ubiquitous low-virulent agents cause disease when intensified by non-infectious factors. Atrophic rhinitis does not belong to this group but is an infectious disease, caused by a specific agent and influenced by several factors.     

天津地区鸡大肠杆菌病病原分离及病原特性

从天津地区１０个区县、２３个养鸡场的２４１只疑似大肠杆菌病病例中,分离出病原菌９２株,所得菌株符合大肠杆菌的微生物学特性。致病性在各菌株间略有差异。分离菌对氟哌酸、庆大霉毒、氯霉素最为敏感。抗“Ｏ”血清型鉴定,结果表明,分离菌株分属２５个血清型,并以Ｏ１１１、Ｏ８９、Ｏ８６、Ｏ３０、Ｏ７８为主。从优势血清型中选取的菌株,均具有良好的抗原性。     

稀土对亚麻产质量效果的研究

对黑龙江省亚麻主要栽培品种──黑亚三号,采用稀土硝酸盐—“农乐一号”,有效成分为３８．７％,对每公顷种予用６００ｇ稀土拌种,能提高亚麻生理功能,并对产质量构成因素有重要促进作用。说明用适量的稀土拌种对亚麻有增加产量,提高纤维品质的效果。

Occurrence and distribution of antibiotic resistant E. coli strains in faeces from young pigs and calves in Denmark]

A comparative study of investigations from 1970 (before the prohibition against therapeutically used antibiotics as food additives for growth promotion) and from 1978 respectively proves that the prevalence of young pigs and calves with resistant E. coli has increased significantly from 61% to 92% and from 69% to 86% (tables I and II). Figures 1 and 2 show the prevalence of young pigs and calves with antibiotic resistant E. coli with resistance determinants towards sulfonamides, tetracycline, streptomycin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, neomycin and furazolidone. This shows that the prevalence of young pigs with resistance determinants towards sulfonamides, tetracycline, streptomycin, ampicillin, and chloramphenicol has increased significantly from 1970 to 1978. The same facts apply to the calves. However, the increase in tetracycline resistance is not significant. Neomycin resistant E. coli for both young pigs and calves were only found in 1978. Figure 3 shows the distribution of the number of resistance determinants per young pig and calf with resistant E. coli. The figure shows the significant tendency that the pigs and calves investigated contain resistant E. coli with more resistance determinants in 1978 than in 1970. The distribution of R-factors among resistant E. coli seems to be reduced at first sight but a closer examination establishes that this only goes for R-factor mediated sulfonamide resistance (the experimental conditions may account for this). R-factor mediated streptomycin resistance has increased while R-factor mediated tetracycline resistance was at the same level. On the basis of literature the causes and risks of an increased distribution of antibiotic resistant E. coli are discussed.     

Bacteria profiles in four coastal areas of East Zealand--coliform bacteria, E. coli and vibriolike organisms (VLO) (author's transl)]

The prevalence of E. coli, coliforms and Vibrio-like-organisms has been studied at four different sites along the east coast of Zealand. High values were registered in sediment taken from the water-line and at a depth of one meter. Generally there exist significant differences between the bacterial counts of water and sediment, and it is obvious that the greatest concentration is in the waterline sediment. The epidemiological and hygienic consequences of these facts are discussed.
