Contamination of milk by enterococci and coliforms from bovine faeces.
TL;DR: The objective is to determine the contribution of enterococci and coliforms from bovine faeces and teats to contamination of raw milk.
Taxonomic Study of Lancefield Streptococcal Groups C, G, and L (Streptococcus dysgalactiae) and Proposal of S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis subsp. nov.
TL;DR: Two subpopulations of strains within S. dysgalactiae are revealed, one of which belongs to Lancefield serogroups C and G, are beta-hemolytic, and exhibit streptokinase activity on human plasminogen and proteolytic activity onhuman fibrin.

TL;DR: Isolate PsJN(T) showed high 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase activity and is therefore able to lower the ethylene level in a developing or stressed plant and is considered to represent a single, novel species.
Differentiation of Campylobacter species by AFLP fingerprinting.
Birgitta Duim,Peter Vandamme,Alan Rigter,Severine Laevens,Jeroen R. Dijkstra,Jaap A. Wagenaar +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that AFLP analysis is a valuable tool for concurrent identification of campylobacters at the species, subspecies and strain levels and confirms and extend previous reports showing that C. lari is a heterogeneous species that may comprise multiple taxa.
