RESUMOA Infecção do Trato Urinário (ITU) é uma ocorrência comum na clínica de animais de companhia, principalmente em cães e gatos. A antibioticoterapia, nestes casos, pode ser um desafio devido a crescente resistência antimicrobiana. Este trabalho teve por objetivo relatar as bactérias mais frequentes isoladas de amostras de urina de cães e gatos diagnosticados com ITU e os resultados de seus respectivos antibiogramas, realizados no
Objective: To compare the regulations of Assisted Human Reproduction in England, Italy, Norway and Ireland, countries that have a high Human Development Index. Method: Cross-sectional qualitative study of regulations of Assisted Human Reproduction in England, Italy, Norway and Ireland, countries with Human Development Index above 0,8. Results: Italy, England and Norway have specific laws of Assisted Human Reproduction. Ireland is the only one with a Guide of Professional Conduct and Ethics issued by the Federal Council of Medicine of the country. Conclusion: The similar situation of Human Development Index in the studied countries has no influence in the Assisted Human Reproduction regulations.
Essential oils are natural extracts rich in bioactive compounds that possess antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, and insecticidal properties. For this reason, they are investigated as a possible alternative to the use of antibiotics. Micellar and aqueous solutions from extracts derived from the cashew nut shell liquid and the ricinoleic acid extracted from the castor oil plant were screened to determine their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against common bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The cashew nut shell oil showed activity against Gram-positive bacteria with the micellar suspension having the best results. Neither the micellar nor the aqueous solutions of the castor bean extract showed antimicrobial activity in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
