The phrase "abattoir group" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to a collective or organization involved in the operation of slaughterhouses or meat processing facilities.
Example: "The abattoir group met to discuss new regulations affecting the meat industry."
Alternatives: "slaughterhouse association" or "meat processing collective".
Specimens were obtained from an approved UK abattoir (abattoir group), and a veterinary post-mortem facility (post-mortem group; PM).
Because in the abattoir group the numbers of large γH2AX puncta per nucleus were greatest in subconfluent monolayers, we proposed that DNA damage could be occurring in response to replication stress.
In contrast, frequent large puncta were noted in fibroblast monolayers from the abattoir group, in 8-25% of both BN and mononuclear cells; the highest percentages were seen in the more sparse monolayers i.e. the amount of DNA damage reduced as the fibroblasts became confluent.
The difference between PM and abattoir groups may have related to the delay of at least 6 7 h prior to placement of specimens into medium (containing digestive enzymes) for the latter group, or subtle differences in digestion technique.
Abattoir clonal group 3 contained 13 isolates (5 from humans, 6 from chickens, 2 from pigs), which all belonged to phylogenetic group A. The MLST profile ST10 was shared by 7 isolates (4 from humans, 3 from chickens).
Abattoir clonal group 1 contained 11 isolates (2 from humans, 8 from chickens, 1 from a pig).
Abattoir clonal group 2 included 6 isolates (3 from humans, 1 from a chicken, 2 from pigs).
Moreover, within certain abattoir clonal groups, isolates showed the same phylogenetic group and MLST sequence types, indicating that they may have originated from a recent common ancestor.
In a highly orchestrated series of sit-ins, blockades, and abattoir invasions, a group of vegan activists have staged a nationwide protest against animal cruelty.
Similar numbers of BN cells were detected in abattoir and PM group monolayers (and explant cultures).
Significant damage was recorded for both abattoir and PM group cells following H2O2 treatment, but the majority of comet-tails (indicating broken DNAs) were lost after 1 h recovery i.e. these data showed robust repair activity for both groups.
