Antibiotic prophylaxisAntibiotic prophylaxis refers to, for humans, the prevention of infection complications using antimicrobial therapy (most commonly antibiotics). Antibiotic prophylaxis in domestic animal feed mixes has been employed in America since at least 1970. Antibiotic prophylaxis is most commonly used prior to dental surgery or medical surgery, however, may be used in other cases, such as prior to sexual intercourse for patients who suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections.
ChorioamniotiteChorioamnionitis, also known as intra-amniotic infection (IAI), is inflammation of the fetal membranes (amnion and chorion), usually due to bacterial infection. In 2015, a National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Workshop expert panel recommended use of the term "triple I" to address the heterogeneity of this disorder. The term triple I refers to intrauterine infection or inflammation or both and is defined by strict diagnostic criteria, but this terminology has not been commonly adopted although the criteria are used.
CampylobacterCampylobacter (du grec καμπύλος, courbe) est un genre de bactéries Gram négatif, micro aérophiles, oxydase positive, non sporulantes provoquant des intoxications alimentaires. Elles sont présentes dans l'intestin de nombreux animaux, d'élevage notamment. Ils sont considérés comme source de zoonose dans les élevages, et comme étant la principale cause bactérienne de gastro-entérites humaine dans le monde, avec une incidence croissante dans les pays développés, qui pourrait notamment être due à la concentration du bétail.
