resistant organisms, and these pathogens usually affect patients who are debilitated by …

Even under the most expert care, a properly constructed intestinal anastomosis can fail to
heal, resulting in leakage of its contents, peritonitis, and sepsis. The cause of anastomotic …

Enterococci belong to the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and they are of importance in foods due
to their involvement in food spoilage and fermentations, as well as their utilisation as …

While lactic acid producing fermentation has been utilized to improve the storability,
