Salmonella in Victoria, 1997: the story so far.

The Infectious Diseases Unit of the Department of Human Services, Victoria, reported an increased incidence of Salmonella infections in early 1997. To 21 April 1997, 944 notifications had been received, passing the previous year's total of 915. Five outbreaks of five separate serovars have been investigated and traced to their sources. The outbreaks, their sources and the control measures undertaken are described. Further clusters of other Salmonella serovars are being investigated.

Development of ocular mucin: scanning EM analysis.

Ocular mucin (mucus) development in the mouse was examined using several different fixatives and scanning electron microscopy. One of the fixatives, a picric acid--paraformaldehyde-glutaraldehyde (PA-P-G) preparation which fixes mucin at the adult mouse corneal surface, first demonstrated mucin at the surface of the pup cornea and conjunctiva at postnatal day 10. The mucus was scant, strand-like as well as granular in morphology and did not form smooth patches as in the adult. Thus, mucin is present at the ocular surface well before the mouse eye opens (day 14-15). Its presence is essential to ensure tear film stability, corneal wettability and possibly to protect the eye from bacterial and viral insult.
