Based on the analysis of 4 milk samples from each bulk tank, SA was detected in 39 of 126 (31%) bulk tanks.... In PAGE 8: ... As the frequency of sampling increased from 2 to 4 samples, the number of bulk tanks with SA also increased. The mean BTSCC count was significantly associated with the frequency of isolation of SA ( Table6 ). Streptococcus agalactiae was detected at least once in 13 of 126 (10%) bulk tanks (Table 6).... In PAGE 8: ... The mean BTSCC count was significantly associated with the frequency of isolation of SA (Table 6). Streptococcus agalactiae was detected at least once in 13 of 126 (10%) bulk tanks ( Table6 ). Of the BTM samples, 3, 5, and 2% had low, medium, and high isolation rates of SAG, respectively.... In PAGE 8: ... Of the BTM samples, 3, 5, and 2% had low, medium, and high isolation rates of SAG, respectively. As seen with SA, with increased frequency of sampling, the number of BTM samples with SAG was also ob- served ( Table6 ). Mycoplasma was isolated from 3 of 39 (7.... In PAGE 11: ... Incomplete coverage of the teat skin could result in areas of teat skin where bacteria could survive and grow between milkings and could result in intramammary infections or contami- nate bulk tank milk (NMC, 1996; Edmondson, 2002). The frequency of isolation (number of positive sam- ples out of 4) of SA, SAG, and Mycoplasma was used to monitor contagious mastitis pathogens ( Table6 ). This approach to interpreting SA, SAG, and Mycoplasma in bulk tank milk comes from several reports that suggest that the number of contagious organisms in bulk tank milk provides little or no clear evidence of the severity of the contagious mastitis problem present in the herd.... ..."

"... In PAGE 8: ... The avail- ability of a finished molecule allowed us to compare the correctness of the assemblies generated by Minimus and phrap respectively, as shown in Figure 3. The results of our comparison are shown in Table2 . Similar to the case of BAC assembly, Minimus ran faster than phrap (approx.... ..."

Each row contains the association rule, the incidence proportions in wc (bold), and the incidence proportions in wp (nonbold).... In PAGE 3: ... For example, event 1 in Table 3 describes an increase in the number of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to oxacillin, clindamycin, and erythromycin isolated from tracheal aspirates in the fourth partition, and compared with those isolated in the 2nd and 3rd partitions. Of the events identified by DMSS, only the NICU and SICU had events that were location-specific ( Table3 ), while eight events were not. The events identified by DMSS must be... ..."

This suggests that such strains contain misannotated reactions due to the automated nature of the annotation process.... ..."
