Sensitivity of freshly isolated bacterial pathogens to certain antibiotics and nitrofurazone.

The results of antibiotic tests on bacterial pathogens freshly isolated from avian tissues and bovine milk are presented. Coliform isolates from the avian species showed an increased resistance to antibiotics while those which produced bovine mastitis had remained generally more sensitive. The staphyloccoci and streptococci isolated from bovine milk showed an increase in resistance to most of the antibiotics tested. The indiscriminate administration of antibiotics to livestock and poultry has no doubt encouraged the development of resistant forms of bacteria and has made treatment with such products less effective.

Acute cervical strain. Evaluation and short term prognostic factors.

An independent examiner evaluated 179 consecutive private ambulatory litigant patients with soft tissue neck injuries (whiplash) from automobile injuries. Treatment of all patients consisted of neck and shoulder exercises with the exclusion of cervical collars, cervical traction and hospitalization. Forty-three patients had intermittent cervical traction in addition to the exercises. All patients were encouraged to resume their usual work and other activities. The presence of interscapular or upper back pain prognosticated a less favorable result. The average length of treatment was 7.4 weeks. Thirty-seven per cent of the patients with asymptomatic; 16 per cent showed no significant recovery. Older patients recovered as well as younger patients. There was no relation between X-ray findings of flattening or reversal of the cervical lordotic curve and the degree of recovery.
