Diversity of phages isolated from chicken farms in Kenya.

Non-typhoidal infections are one of the leading causes of diarrhoeal diseases that spread to humans from animal sources such as poultry. Hence, keeping poultry farms free of is essential for consumer safety and for a better yield of animal products. However, the emergence of antibiotic resistance due to over usage has sped up the search for alternative biocontrol methods such as the use of bacteriophages.

Physicochemical and functional properties of seed flours obtained from germinated and non-germinated and .

C. and are underutilized legumes available in Sri Lanka. The physicochemical and functional properties of germinated and non-germinated flours from these two legumes were investigated.

Systemic lupus erythematosus mimicking idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease: A diagnostic dilemma.

Castleman disease is a heterogeneous group of disorders of lymphoid tissue. It can often mimic other autoimmune diseases or malignancies, presenting a diagnostic dilemma to attending clinicians. Systemic lupus erythematosus and Castleman disease share many clinical and biochemical features rendering a special diagnostic challenge.

Enteritidis Bacteriophages Isolated from Kenyan Poultry Farms Demonstrate Time-Dependent Stability in Environments Mimicking the Chicken Gastrointestinal Tract.

Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Enteritidis is one of the major causes of foodborne illnesses worldwide. This non-typhoidal (NTS) serovar is mainly transmitted to humans through poultry products. Bacteriophages (phages) offer an alternative to antibiotics for reducing the incidence of MDR NTS in poultry farms.
