The activities of therapeutic regimens with ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and levofloxacin (14 days, 40 mg/kg once a day) alone or in combination with doxycycline (14 days, 40 mg/kg twice a day) against chronic infection with Brucella melitensis were assessed in 200 mice. Doxycycline alone or in combination with ciprofloxacin significantly reduced the infection till 135 days post-infection (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively). In addition, doxycycline was more effective than ofloxacin 135 days post-infection
According to medicinenet.com, veterinary science/medicine is, “the medical science concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases in animals,” and “veterinarians prevent the transmission of animal disease to people, and advise owners on proper care of animals.” The type of animals treated depends on the type of veterinarian practice, and the three major categories are large animal, small animal, and mixed animal. Although there are many branches of veterinary medicine such as
treatment which further underscores the urgent need for the development of alternative therapeutic options (Mohamed et al., 2014). This scourge is further compounded by intracellular zoonotic pathogens, such as Mycobacterium, Salmonella, Listeria, and Brucella that reside and thrive inside mammalian cells (Seleem et al., 2009a, 2009b; Nepal et al., 2015). Treatment of infections caused by these intracellular pathogens is very challenging because most antibiotics are unable to access intracellular replicative
Life of a Cell In “Life of a Cell,” the author uses rhetoric and figurtic language to reassure peoples fear of disease and to assure them the bodies system is fully capable to attacking anything that would be an issue or illness to itself. He writes about the fear of germs and bacteria; the ineveitibility of germs attacking a cell system. He writes about the many preventions and precautions others take to avoid diseases which metaphorically they “come after them for profit.” Thomas writes

Introduction There are two types of bacteria that cause Typhus, Rickettsia Typhi and Rickettsia Prowazekii. The form of Typhus depends on which type of bacteria has entered the body and caused the infection. Rickettsia Typhi causes Murine or Endemic Typhus. Endemic Typhus is unusual in the United States. When it is found, its usually seen in areas with poor hygiene and where the temperature is cold. Endemic typhus is sometimes called "jail fever." Murine Typhus typically occurs in the southeastern
Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) warfare is one of the most dreaded forms of attack on the battlefield. In the last century, we learned a great deal about how life works, how it is organized. We have used that technology to save many lives by curing diseases and vaccinating against viruses. But it seems that whenever we have a breakthrough in science, there is an ever-present danger of a form of weapon resulting from the discovery. Biological
Aristoteles’s “Theory of Tragedy” suggests that the tragic flaw in Sophocles’ play Oedipus is the King’s “self-destructive actions taken in blindness,” but a worse flaw if his arrogance. There are a few opposing views that stray from Oedipus being fully arrogant. First is that he took actions to save himself further pain. Second by putting himself in charge was the right thing to do as the leader of his people. Third Oedipus never tried to outwit the gods but used the prophecy as a warning to leave
The origins of Ancient Greece can be found back as far as 3000 BCE (Fiero 76). This was the time there is a lot of art and religion that defines the Greek period. This is only because there is a lot of prosperity and peace which causes a surplus of goods within the Greek city-state. This surplus allowed a more time for people to participate in such frivolous activities. Though the art is very representative of its time the stories behind the art are much more prominent. The religion is the story
Effect of refrigeration and covering of mayonnaise on the growth of bacteria. Abstract. Growth is characteristic feature of life; this simply means the regulated and coordinated enlargement in biological mass over time. Bacterial growth involves division of one cell of the bacteria into two cells in a process known as binary fission. Specific conditions are required for the survival of bacteria. Most bacteria require environments that are moderate, suitable and assure optimum growth. The common conditions
Manure may not be a luxurious topic, but it is currently a hot topic for the agriculture industry. Presently, there are about 20 million pigs being raised in Iowa alone, and Iowa’s lush cropland greatly benefits from the manure output. Manure provides the soil with nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium; improves suitability for planting; increases water holding capacity; reduces erosion; and supplies an energy source for microbial activity (Murphy, 1996). Although the soil quality
Introduction Cheese production has been going on for many years and is a traditional art. There are many benefits of cheese nutritionally because it is versatile. Cheese can be used as a source of protein, vitamins, minerals, phosphorus, and calcium. Cheese can be a convenience food for people because it can be eaten as the main component, a dessert, a snack, a condiment or as an ingredient used to make foods. There are over five hundred types of cheese and they are continuing to study and make a
