Examination of Quaternary Ammonium Compound Resistance in Isolated from Cooked Meat Products in China.

The aim of this study was to examine the presence of genes responsible for resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and the association of genes with class 1 integrons in isolated from cooked meat products. A total of 52 isolates (29.2%) were detected from 178 samples, and their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of benzalkonium chloride (BC) ranged from 4 to >32 μg/mL. The isol...

Isolation of in HUVEC line.

formerly named and ' Rickettsia amblyommii' is an intracellular bacterium belonging to the spotted fever group It is highly prevalent in and in other spp. throughout the Western Hemisphere. has been cultivated in chicken fibroblast, primary embryonated chicken eggs, Vero cells and arthropod-derived cells. Because of the affinity of rickettsiae to invade vascular endothelial cells, we tried t...
