All tested cultures of Streptococcus uberis produced free hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase could be isolated by ammonium sulfate precipitation and was further purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, gelfiltration on ultragel ACA44 and isoelectric focusing. The purification factor was estimated to be 1689. The purified hyaluronidase had an isoelectric point at pH 4.9 and a molecular weight of approximately 54000 D. It showed maximal enzyme activity at pH 6.0 and 45 degrees C. The Michaelis constant was estimated to be 7.0 X 10(-2) mg/ml. Hyaluronidase activity was stimulated by Ca++, Mg++, Mn++, Co++, Li+, and K+ and inhibited by Zn++ and Cd++ at final concentrations of 10 mmol/l, respectively.

Objective: We aimed to characterize integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) in antimicrobial resistant Streptococcs uberis isolates from bovine milk in Chiba, Japan, based on whole-genome sequence (WGS) data.
Results: Of the 101 isolates, we found the 36 isolates harboring erm(B)-tet(O), showing resistance to macrolides-lincosamides-tetracyclines. The 22 isolates were randomly selected and subject to WGS determination.

Background: According to the World Health Organization, probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to the host. The use of oral probiotics in children to improve oral health may lead to nonpathogenic bacteria replacing cariogenic bacteria. The Evora Plus oral probiotics tablet is the first such oral probiotics tablet containing a proprietary blend of three select species of naturally occurring oral bacteria, each with a specific function for maintaining a healthy oral environment.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of rumen-protected Met on lactation performance, inflammation, and immune response, and liver glutathione of lactating dairy cows during a subclinical mastitis challenge (SMC). Thirty-two Holstein cows (145 ± 51 DIM) were enrolled in a randomized complete block design. At -21 d relative to the SMC, cows were assigned to dietary treatments, and data were collected before and during the SMC.
