Article Abstract:
A study to determine the influence of temperature and availability of nutrients on attachment to and biofilm formation on stainless steel and enteral feeding tubes by Enterobacter sakazakii is presented. The significance of temperature control in reconstituted infant formula preparation and storage areas in restricting the attachment and biofilm formation by E. sakazakii and the role of nutrient availability in processes resulting in biofilm formation are confirmed.

Article Abstract:
A study to assess the impact of three ampicillin dosage regimens on ampicillin resistance among Enterobacteriaceae from swine feces by phenotypic and genotypic methods was conducted. Results found that fecal [bla.sub.TEM] gene quantification provides a sensitive tool to evaluate the impact of ampicillin administration on the selection of ampicillin resistance in the digestive microflora and its distribution in the environment.

Article Abstract:
The authors have analyzed the effects of wildlife and human populations on the fecal microorganism distribution aroung Antarctic research stations. The aim of the research has been the identification of the main factors affecting fecal coliform distribution in the Antarctic near-shore marine environment.
