High mortalities in 17 canary flocks from different regions of Tehran, Iran, were reported. Necropsy and histopathologic examination revealed necrotic hepatitis and overall congestive septicaemia in carcasses. Salmonella enterica was isolated from 34 examined samples, two samples from each flock,
The antimicrobial activity of several extracts and fractions of the aerial parts of Hypericum canariense, Hypericum glandulosum and Hypericum grandifolium was investigated using the disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods against twelve reference microorganisms (eight bacterial and four
The prescribing of medicines for ambulant children below 14 years of age has been compared between Tenerife (Spain) and Sweden. Data obtained from a random sample of 1327 children in a prospective study in Tenerife were compared with data from 3901 children in a Swedish survey linking diagnosis and
A chemotherapeutic study has been carried out on thirteen products Eeleven diterpenes, one lignan, (+)-sesamin, and a coumarin, siderin] isolated from SALVIA and SIDERITIS species considered endemic to the Canarian flora. The data obtained suggest that some diterpenoid compounds show an interesting
The occurrence of Salmonella in endemic and subendemic species of lizard and frog of Gran Canaria, Gallotia stehlini and Rana perezi, as well as captive reptiles from other regions of the world was investigated. The occurrence of Salmonella was statistically higher in endemic and subendemic species
Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics were selected from 152 clinical isolates. We identified two patterns of resistance correlating with the resistance mechanism characterized by changes in permeability, enzymatic modification due to the acetylating enzyme,
OBJECTIVE
To describe the epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at a university hospital in Tenerife, Canary Islands, during a 40-month period and to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of control measures.
METHODS
Laboratory-based surveillance, medical charts
The efficacy of five antimicrobials administered via the drinking water was compared for the treatment of experimental Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection in canaries. Groups of eight to 10 canaries were treated with ampicillin (2 g/1), doxycycline (500 mg/1), enrofloxacin (150 mg/1),
Extracts from 44 species of seaweed from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) were screened for the production of antibacterial and antifungal compounds against a panel of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, mycobacteria, yeasts and fungi. A total of 28 species displayed antibacterial
OBJECTIVE
Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI) of viral origin are a frequent cause of pediatric consultations and hospital admissions. The aim of this study was to investigate the etiology of these infections in Gran Canaria, the Canary Islands, (Spain).
METHODS
From May 2002 through May 2005,
This study investigated the presence of Enterococcus spp. strains in camel faeces, their virulence factors, and resistance to the antibiotics commonly used as therapy of enterococcal infections. One hundred and seventy three Enterococcus strains were isolated and identified to species level using
Comparative studies on antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and molecular typing of Enterococcus isolates of different origins provides valuable information concerning the epidemiology of enterococcal infections. We analyzed clinical isolates and we surveyed faecal samples of humans (hospitalised
Objective: This work aimed to determine the carriage rate of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli as well as their genetic characteristics in camels from the Canary Islands, Spain.
Methods:
In this study, we compared the antibacterial effectivity of the eggs of six precocial and four altricial bird species using Escherichia coli, based on their eggshell traits. The ultrastructure of eggshell was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). According to SEM results, eggs from
Cybastacines A (1) and B (2) were discovered as a novel pentacyclic sesterterpenoid-alkaloid skeleton structure, with a guanidinium group. These molecules were isolated from a Nostoc sp. cyanobacterium collected in the Canary Islands. Their structures were elucidated primarily by a combination of
