The histochemical locations of alkaline phosphate (ALP), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) and gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) were demonstrated in the liver of the marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). Although all three enzymes were located in cell membranes, the location of LAP was demonstrated by a chromogenic substrate, in the canalicular membrane. GGT was seen in a vascular network, provisionally identified as the peribiliary arterial plexus. Possible diagnostic applications in toxicology are discussed.

Urinary tract infection due to indwelling bladder catheters in dogs and cats.

Urine samples were collected from 27 dogs and 4 cats with indwelling urinary catheters connected to a closed system. Twenty-one animals had sterile urine at the initiation of catheterization. Eleven of these 21 animals developed positive urine culture after 4 (mean) days (range 1 to 10 days) of catheterization. Infections persisted after catheter removal in 6 of 8 animals. The 10 animals that did not develop bacteriuria had a shorter duration of catheterization (3 days vs 12 days, mean). Antibiotics (chloramphenicol, trimethoprim/sulfonamide, cephradine, lincomycin, gentamicin, or ampicillin) were used during the period of catheterization in 17 of 21 animals, 8 of which developed bacteriuria and 9 of which did not. Ten animals had bacteriuria at the initiation of urine collection for culture. The type of bacteria changed during the catheterization period in 6 animals, all of which were given antibiotics. Bacteria isolated from animals given antibiotics seemed to become increasingly antibiotic-resistant.
