To investigate the milk production limiting potential of a diet based on grass silage (40%), hay (15%), dried sugar beet pulp (13%) and grain compound mixture (32%), 28 multiparous cows in early lactation were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: a control group and a group receiving supplementary rumen protected methionine (RPMet) treatment (12 g intestinally available methionine/ cow/day, given 1–120 days postpartum; Smartamine™; RPAN’s technology). The diet was formulated to meet the requirements for protein and net energy. RPMet supplementation had no significant effect on DMI (kg/cow/day), milk dry mass, milk lactose and milk urea contents. Responses for mean daily milk yield, mean milk fat and milk protein yields were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in cows supplied with RPMet than in controls. Mean daily milk yield, milk protein and milk fat yields increased by 2.4 kg, 108 g and 124 g, respectively. The mean daily milk protein and casein contents were increased by 1.8 g and 0.9 g and milk fat content by 1.2 g in 1 kg of milk, respectively. The results suggest that in cows fed grass silage and a grain compound mixture milk production is limited by methionine insufficiency, but milk production performance can be increased significantly by the addition of RPMet to the diet.

Abstract

Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is a routine medical practice. The most widely used technique is the packing the aneurysm sac with an embolic material. To gain deeper understanding in the effects of specific treatment methods, the intra-aneurysmal haemodynamics are studied with the help of patient-specific computational models. Numerical simulations demonstrated that embolisation with liquid polymer results in an overall decrease of the wall shear stress and pressure in the aneurysm region. Within the range of clinically relevant packing density, simulation of coil embolisation showed homogenisation and decrease of the wall loads on the aneurysm sac. Increasing the packing density above 20% produces little or no further reduction of intra-aneurysmal flow. Sufficient packing of the aneurysm sac results in significant intra-aneurysmal flow decrease associated with reduced wall loads but locally increased pressure or wall shear stress zones may appear depending on the specific vessel geometry.

A comparison of the results obtained using the classical methods with those of the API 20 Strep system was carried out in identifying 24 enterococci strains isolated from San Simón cow's milk cheese, a traditional Spanish variety. The results of both identification systems coincided exactly in 9 strains (37.5% of the strains studied). In one strain the results obtained using the classical methods did not coincide with those using the API 20 Strep method. 3 strains (12.5%) could not be identified using the API 20 Strep system. However, 11 strains (45%), that remained doubtful between both species E. faecalis and E. faecium on the basis of the classical methods, were identified using the API 20 Strep system. The API 20 Strep system does not include some biochemical tests of importance in identifying of foodborne enterococci and could not identify the atypical strains of Enterococcus. Moreover, this system is adapted to the identification of enterococci of clinical origin and their database does not include some species common in foods. However, it could have an application in combination with the classical methods in order to carry out a reasonably rapid and reliable identification of enterococci related to cheese.

Abstract

ESBL-producing Escherichia coli strains threaten public health and obligate the use of last-resort antibiotics. This study identified 15 E. coli isolates through 16S rRNA and gyrB genes, specific to E. coli, in 120 egg samples (12.5%). Antibiotic resistance was detected according to the EUCAST and CLSI in E. coli isolates. 2 isolates were susceptible to all antibiotics, one isolate was resistant to one antibiotic, one isolate was resistant to 2 antibiotics, and 11 E. coli isolates (73.3%) had multidrug resistance. Most frequent antibiotic resistances were detected against ampicillin (80%), tetracycline (66.6%), and chloramphenicol (66.6%). A double-disc confirmation test was used to detect ESBL production, and bla TEM, bla SHV, bla CTX-M and bla OXA genes were searched by PCR. The bla TEM (100%) gene was found in all resistant E. coli isolates, and the bla CTX-M gene was detected in only 3 (20%) E. coli isolates. None of the E. coli isolates contained the genes responsible for carbapenem and colistin resistance. Our results show that multi-drug antibiotic resistance and the bla TEM gene are frequent in E. coli from table eggs in Istanbul. This is the first preliminary study on ESBL-producing E. coli isolates in table eggs in Türkiye.
