Portrait of John B. Jordan, Fire Chief
No full textPhotograph of a bust-length portrait of John B. Jordan, Fire Chief. He is wearing a hat, a tie, and suit jacket. The Richardson Fire Department was organized in 1925, when the first water mains were laid. He moved to Richardson in 1917 and had spent nine years before on the Plano Fire Department

Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections and Antibiotics Resistance in Jordan: Current Status and Future Perspective
No full textBackground: Antibiotic resistance is expanding worldwide at alarming rates. Middle East countries including Jordan have high prevalence of antibiotic resistance.
Aims: The main aims of this review are to summarize the situation with Gram-positive bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance in Jordan, identify areas where further investigation is required, and suggest strategies to combat antibiotic resistance.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted by two independent researchers using general and specific combinations of MeSH search terms using Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases.
Results: Staphylococci and Streptococci were commonly isolated from environmental, animal, and human samples, while Staphylococci, Enterococci, and Listeria were commonly isolated from food. Staphylococci, Streptococci, and Enterococci human colonization were documented at variable but high rates. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistance coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MR-CoNS) infections were common with high rates of antibiotic resistance. S. pneumoniae showed increased resistance rates to most antimicrobials. Enterococci and C. difficile resistance rates were moderate, while group B Streptococci (GBS), viridans group streptococci (VGS), C. perfringens and L. monocytogenes antibiotic susceptibility patterns were not reported. All MRSA and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) isolates were mec-A positive, while resistance genes among CoNS, S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, S. agalactia, C. perfringens, and L. monocytogenes were not investigated.
Conclusions: Gram-positive bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance rates were high in Jordan. Molecular epidemiology studies, a nationwide surveillance program, and action plans are urgently required to combat antibiotic resistance.</jats:p
Changes in Chemical and Physical Quality Attributes of Olives as Influenced by Chemical Control of the Olive Fruit Fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera, Tephritidae) in Jordan
No full textThe olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera, Tephritidae) is the most devastating insect pest possessing severe economic threats for the olive growers in Jordan. Therefore, the current study aimed at determining the effect of insecticidal applications against B. oleae on olive quantity, as well as physical (refractive index, fruit weight, diameter and volume, and weight of seed and flesh, as well as oil percentage) and chemical (olive oil acidity and peroxide value parameters). The experiment was conducted using Nabali olive cultivar in Karak District-Jordan in the year 2016. Three insecticides; Karate, Fytoclean, and Dursban used in the spraying operations, and trees were sprayed twice. Insecticidal spraying significantly (P<0.05) reduced olive oil acidity, peroxide value, and refractive index, and increased olive fruit’s weight, diameter and volume, and seed, and flesh weight compared to the untreated trees. In conclusion, the application of insecticides against B. oleae improved the olive quantity and tested quality parameters. </jats:p
