Drug resistance in Salmonellae isolated at Chandigarh (India) during 1972-1978.

A total of 1316 strains of Salmonella belonging to 20 serotypes isolated at P.G.I. Chandigarh (India) were tested for drug resistance. Drug resistance was noticed in 494 (38.3%) of the strains; 194 (14.8%) of these strains were resistant to one drug, while 300 (23.5%) had multiple drug resistance. All isolated strains were sensitive to gentamicin, furazolidone and nalidixic acid. Resistance to streptomycin was observed in 233 (17.7%), chloramphenicol 197 (14,9%), tetracycline 293 (22.3%), ampicillin 428 (32.5%), kanamycin 206 (15.7%), neomycin 206 (15.7%) and sulphadiazine 215 (19.9%). Multiple drug resistance was most common in S. bareilly, S. typhimurium and S. anatum serotypes. Increase in incidence of drug resistance in Salmonellae has been noticed during 1972-1978.

Metabolic effects of testosterone in the chequered water-snake, Natrix piscator.

In the water-snake, Natrix piscator, the following are depressed by orchidectomy and restored to normal by testosterone treatment: glucose, free and esterified fatty acids and triglycerides in plasma, hepatic triglycerides, and total esterified fatty acids. The increase in hepatic free fatty acids and muscle glycogen was also reduced to the level found in intact snakes. Moreover, although castration had no effect, testosterone caused a significant increase in liver weight and plasma protein, and a significant decrease in free plasma cholesterol. Except for an increase in triglyceride content by high doses of the hormone, neither castration nor the administration of 5 mg testosterone had any significant effect on the free fatty acid and triglyceride content of the adipose tissue of the snakes.
