Differential Tolerance to of English Boxwood Plants Associated with the Complexity of Culturable Fungal and Bacterial Endophyte Communities.

Isolated boxwood endophytes have been demonstrated to effectively protect boxwood plants from infection by (). However, the roles of endophytes as communities in plant defense are not clear. Here, we demonstrated differential tolerance to of English boxwood ( 'Suffruticosa'), an iconic landscape plant and generally regarded as highly susceptible, and its link to endophyte complexity.

In Vitro Enhancement of Antibiotic Resistance Development-Interaction of Residue Levels of Pesticides and Antibiotics .

This study investigated the interaction of three commonly used pesticides, carbaryl, captan, and malathion, with combinations of antibiotics occurring commonly in milk, all at levels below established tolerances. The modality of measurement was the MIC; the assay organism was Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 9144. Acetone alone or individual pesticides in acetone caused no increase in the baseline MIC of any of the marker antibiotics.
