Genotypes, Antibiotic Resistance, and ST-8 Genetic Clone in Campylobacter Isolates from Sheep and Goats in Grenada

Rectal swabs from 155 sheep and 252 goats from Grenada were evaluated to determine the prevalence of Campylobacter spp., antibiotic resistance, and multilocus sequence types.Fifteen Campylobacter isolates were obtained (14 C.jejuni and 1 C.coli).The prevalence (3.7%) did not differ significantly between sheep (4.5%) and goats (3.2%).Among the seven

TRANSGENIC GDNF POSITIVELY INFLUENCES PROLIFERATION, DIFFERENTIATION, MATURATION AND SURVIVAL OF MOTOR NEURONS PRODUCED FROM MOUSE EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS.

Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are pluripotent and thus can differentiate into every cell type present in the body.Directed differentiation into motor neurons has been described for pluripotent cells.Although neurotrophic factors promote neuronal survival, their role in neuronal commitment is elusive.Here, we developed double-transgenic lines of mouse
