Abstract

The majority of S. aureus strains isolated from beak‐swabs and pathological processes in chicken shows coagulation of human plasma (not of bovine plasma), crystal violet‐type A, hemolysine‐type A, formation of fibrinolysin, not formation of DNase and reactions with the experimental phage A1591. Because of the absence of DNase‐formation and the reaction‐specificity for phage A1591 we propose to designate these strains as host‐specific variety gallinae of S. aureus. The strains from chicken are compared with strains of human, bovine, and ovine origin. An ecological study in a chicken farm has shown that S. aureus strains from chicken are not found in man and vice versa.

An experimental and theoretical study was performed on the anti-staphylococcal activity of 18 natural and synthetic #avonoids against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. The analysed #avonoids belong to three well-di!erentiated structural patterns: chalcones, #avanones and #avones.

Kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase (KNTase) catalyzes the transfer of the adenyl group from MgATP to either the 4Ј or 4Љ-hydroxyl group of aminoglycoside antibiotics. The steady state kinetic parameters of the enzymatic reaction have been measured by initial velocity, product, and dead-end inhibition
