High Occurrence of Multidrug-Resistant Strains in Bovine Fecal Samples from Healthy Cows Serves as Rich Reservoir for AMR Transmission.

Objectives: Antibiotics are valuable therapeutics. However, the unwarranted and excessive use of these antimicrobials in food animals and the consequent contamination of the environment have been associated with the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. Continuous surveillance and monitoring of antimicrobial resistance among isolates is recommended, not only for bovine health but also for public health.

What matters when examining the performance of salespersons? Analyzing the boundary conditions of personal dispositional factor.

Purpose: This study intended to examine the effect of developmental and evaluative purposes of performance appraisal (PA) on job meaningfulness (JM). Furthermore, the study also aimed to assess the moderating effect of personal dispositional factors, that is, internal and external loci of control between developmental and evaluative PA and JM.

Phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of Calligonum polygonoides stem and buds.

In the present study we demonstrate the identification of phenolic compounds and the phenolic contents of the methanol extracts from stem and buds of Calligonum polygonoides with antioxidant activity. Eleven and nine phenolic compounds were identified and quantified from stem and buds, respectively by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). p-Coumaric acid was predominant in stem and gallic acid in buds.
