In future, special focus should be given on a clear distinction between physical and microbiological effects controlling CO2 fluxes in structured soils.
The DGGE profiles in all reactors showed no change with time and no difference between substrate types, suggesting that any microbiological effects are independent of mineral substrate.
The objective of this study was to determine the biomechanical and microbiological effects of exposing natural hog casings to ozonated water ≈7 mg/l for 0, 2 or 4 h at 16 °C.
Future research will be required to elucidate whether FRA in milk is bioavailable and bioactive, and to evaluate the complete sensory and microbiological effects of increased FRA and FRA degradation products in milk.
However, there is no reason to think that the microbiological effects of pre-culture antibiotics on culture yield would differ among young children.
To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to report on the clinical and microbiological effects of using high doses of aminoglycosides to reach therapeutic Cpeak in critically ill septic patients.
In some of the analyses, we dichotomised antibiotics as penicillin V and non-penicillin V. We always analysed macrolides and lincosamides as one antibiotic group, because of similarities in microbiological effects and resistance mechanisms.
Park et al. reported on the clinical and microbiological effects of aminoglycosides in adults and children with UTIs caused by ESBL-producing strains [ 17], and the efficacy of aminoglycoside combination therapy has also been demonstrated in bacteraemia caused by ESBL-producing strains [ 27].
To evaluate whether the microbiological effects of fluoroquinolone administration were in line with the current understanding of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships, two PK/PD parameters were calculated: the maximum plasma concentration/minimal inhibitory concentration (Cmax/MIC) ratio and the area under the inhibitory curve (AUC/MIC).
In this trial, a lower daily dose (2 g) of cefotaxime given by continuous infusion to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease produced clinical and microbiological effects similar to those with a higher total daily dose of 1 g administered three times daily.
By a combination of chemical and microbiological analyses and effect-oriented biological studies which reflect consequences of the applied technologies for biota in the rivers from the molecular to the community level, the effectiveness of the applied technologies will be assessed.
