The Mycobactericidal Efficacy Of Orthophthalaldehyde And The Comparative Resistances Of Mycobacterium Bovis, Mycobacterium Terrae, And Mycobacterium Chelonae, Richard A. Robison, Adam W. Gregory, G. Bruce Schaalje, Jonathan D. Smart

Faculty Publications

Objectives: To assess the mycobactericidal efficacy of an agent relatively new to disinfection, ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and to compare the resistances of three Mycobacterium species. Mycobacterium bovis (strain BCG) was compared with Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium terrae to investigate the feasibility of using either of the latter two species in tuberculocidal testing. M chelonae (a rapid grower) and M terrae (an intermediate grower) both grow faster and are less virulent than M bovis (a slow grower).


Determination Of The Microbiological Load Of The Principal Meat Products Sold In The Markets Of Riobamba, Miguel Angel Castillo Palacios Jan 1999

Determination Of The Microbiological Load Of The Principal Meat Products Sold In The Markets Of Riobamba, Miguel Angel Castillo Palacios

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation was done with the objective to determine the microbiological load of the main meat products such as: beef, chicken meat, sausage, and viena sausage which are sold in the Riobamba city markets. This investigation was carried out in the Microbiological Laboratory Livestock Science faculty of the Polytechnical Superior school. Specific chemical products were used to determine mesofilas (37 degrees C), xicrofilas (5 degrees C), and termofilas bacteria which did not develop at 45 degrees C, however exicrofilas and mesofilas bacteria were found in every market and meat product in this study. The meat product hygiene is the same …
