Se evaluó el potencial medicinal del bosque montano de neblina El Infiernillo, ubicado en el distrito de Chugur, provincia de Hualgayoc, departamento de Cajamarca (746887E, 9265030N y 748547E, 9265361N, entre 2121 m y 2845 m), administrado por la comunidad de Coyunde Palma. La información se obtuvo mediante entrevistas y las plantas se recolectaron mediante caminatas con colaboradores del lugar. Se registraron 50 especies medicinales que forman parte de 29 familias, con predominio de Asteraceae, Fabaceae y Lamiaceae, incluyen arbustos (26), hierbas (17) y árboles (7). Se usan en 15 grupos de afecciones, con predominio de las digestivas (17), respiratorias (12), músculo-esqueléticas (10), piel y tejido subcutáneo (9), afecciones no definidas (9) y urinarias (7). Las plantas con mayor importancia relativa fueron Sambucus peruviana (Sauco), Equisetum bogotense (Cola de caballo), Ephed...

Background: For millennia, medicinal plants have been employed in ethnoveterinary practices to cure and avert diseases in domesticated animals, particularly livestock. Ethnoveterinary medicine studies traditional beliefs, knowledge and practices to maintain the health and well-being of animals, using mainly plants, minerals, animals and magical-religious or spiritual elements in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and healing. In Peru, the trend of urban migration has led to a decline in traditional knowledge regarding the use of medicinal plants in veterinary treatment. This study aims to pinpoint the medicinal plants traditionally employed in Peru and to identify their phytochemical makeup. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using various online databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, ResearchGate, Scopus, ScienceDirect, university databases and other re...

The objective of the present study was to characterize Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis isolated from chicken meat determining their clonal relationships with S. Infantis isolated from children with diarrhea. Fifteen meat-recovered S. Infantis were analyzed. Susceptibility levels to 14 antibacterial agents, the presence of ESBL and that of inducible plasmid-mediated AmpC (i-pAmpC) were determined by phenotypical methods. The presence of ESBL and pAmpC was confirmed by PCR, and detected ESBL-encoding genes were sequenced and their transferability tested by conjugation. The presence of gyrA mutations as well as Class 1 integrons was determined by PCR. Clonal relationships were established by REP-PCR and RAPD. In addition, 25 clinical isolates of S. Infantis were included in clonality studies. All meat-recovered S. Infantis were MDR, showing resistance to ampicillin, nitrofurans and qui...
