[ 1 ] - Detection of eaeA, hlyA, stx1 and stx2 genes in pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from broilers affected with colibacillosis

Background: Foodborne outbreaks associated with shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been well documented worldwide. STECs are major causative agents of gastroenteritis in humans that may be complicated by hemorrhagic colitis (HC), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of vi...

[ 2 ] - Intestinal colonization of different Brachyspira spp. in laying hens

BACKGROUND:Avian intestinal spirochetosis (AIS) is causedby spiral-shaped Gram-negative Brachyspira spp. in poultry. It isknown as a cause of diarrhea, low egg production, and increasedoccurrence of dirty eggs in layer hens. OBJECTIVES: In this study,the presence of some Brachyspira spp. was investigated in layinghens. METHODS: A total of 100 cloacal swab samples wereindividually collected from...

[ 3 ] - Identification of Coxiella burnetii by touch-down PCR assay in unpasteurized milk and dairy products in North - East of Iran

Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of the zoonotic disease Q fever, and ruminants being considered as the main source for human infection. Although the main route of infection in human is inhalation of contaminated aerosols, oral transmission by contaminated raw milk or unpasteurized dairy products is also a possible route of infection. Raw milk or dairy products produced from unpasteuriz...

[ 4 ] - PCR-based detection of cow and goat milk in sheep milk and dairy products marketed in Mashhad city of Iran

BACKGROUND: The extensive consumption of milk anddairy products makes these foodstuffs targets for potentialadulteration with financial gains for unscrupulous producers.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was using PCR assay todetect cow milk in labeled sheep milk, sheep yoghurt, andLighvan cheese (a traditional ripened cheese produced fromsheep's milk). METHODS: The assay utilized primers target...

[ 5 ] - Modeling of Salmonella typhimurium growth under the effects of Carum copticum essential oil, temperature, pH and inoculum size

The purpose of this study was to elucidate some factors affecting the growth of Salmonella typhimurium. These factors included Carum copticum essential oil (0%, 0.015%, 0.03% and 0.06%), temperature (25 ˚C and 35 ˚C), pH (5, 6 and 7) and inoculum size (103 and 105  CFU mL-1). Brain heart infusion broth was used as the growth medium. There...

[ 6 ] - Genotyping of Clostridium perfringens isolated from broiler meat in northeastern of Iran

Clostridium perfringens is an important cause of bacterial food poisoning worldwide. The disease is caused by C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) encoded by cpe gene. The aim of this research was to identify the different types of C. perfringens and the presence of cpe gene in isolated bacteria from broilers’ meat marketed in retail meat shops of Mashha...

[ 7 ] - The effect of short-time microwave exposures on Listeria monocytogenes inoculated onto chicken meat portions

Listeria monocytogenes can be found throughout the environment and in many foods. It is associated primarily with meat and animal products. Listeria monocytogenes has become increasingly important as a food-borne pathogen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of microwave (MW) treatment of chicken meat samples which were inoculated with L. monocytogenes. D...

[ 8 ] - Modeling the growth of Staphylococcus aureus as affected by black zira (Bunium persicum) essential oil, temperature, pH and inoculum levels

Black zira (Bunium persicum) is a medicinal plant and spice, naturally grows in Iran. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of different concentrations of Bunium persicum essential oil (EO; including 0, 0.08, 0.16 and 0.24%), three incubation temperatures (15, 25 and 35˚C), three levels of pH (5, 6 and 7 adjusted by hydrochloric acid), and three inoculu...

[ 9 ] - Encapsulation of Zataria multiflora Essential Oil in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Sensory Evaluation and Antibacterial Activity in Commercial Soup

Nowadays rising consumer concern on the safety of synthetic chemical food preservatives is a reason for finding natural new antimicrobial agents, especially among the components of medicinal plants such as Essential Oils (EOs). However, most EOs are sensitive to oxygen, light, and temperature and can be easily degraded. Some EOs have strong taste, flavor, and affect the organoleptic charact...

[ 10 ] - A Survey on Drinking Water Contamination to Indicator Bacteria in Dairy Farms of Mashhad Suburb
