We used multiplex PCR to determine the agr group membership of 18 European glycopeptide heterointermediate and intermediate-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. Of the 15 agr group I strains, 13 were resistant and 2 were susceptible to methicillin. The remaining three strains, like the United States and Japanese control strains, belonged to agr group II.

Dry-fermented sausages are appreciated all over the world for their sensory characteristics. Carbohydrates (sugars) are added during the production process, the type and quantity of which directly affect the quality of this product. However, there are few data on the role of sugars on instrumental and sensory parameters of sausages derived from Iberian pork.

Previous studies on serum albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) in human cancers were limited to its preoperative level, with postoperative serial AGR remeasurements ignored. In this study, 2844 CRC patients, 2267 NSCLC patients and 507 HCC patients who underwent curative resection were included. Postoperative AGR was a prognostic factor independent to preoperative AGR, performing a L shaped relation with OS.

Paddy rice ingestion increases intestinal mucin secretion and production by enhancing MUC2 gene expression and epithelial turnover. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of intestinal gene expression in chickens fed paddy rice and investigated whether the intestinal IgA response was modified by paddy rice ingestion. Furthermore, we investigated the possible involvement of gut fermentation.
