An apparently rare Neisseria meningitidis isolate containing one copy of a Neisseria gonorrhoeae 16S rRNA gene is described herein. This isolate was identified as N. meningitidis by biochemical identification methods but generated a positive signal with Gen-Probe Aptima assays for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Direct 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the purified isolate revealed mixed base...

Abstract Purpose Fish is an excellent source of protein and vitamins for humans, but improperly handled, fish can expose consumers to pathogenic bacteria. This study was aimed isolate characterize the genomes Salmonella strains isolated from imported sold in open market Ouagadougou. Methods One hundred fifty-nine were collected markets cultured . Antimicrobial susceptibility determined by broth...

Vibrio tapetis, the etiological agent of Brown Ring Disease, mainly affects Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. Although this bacterium is known as a pathogen, it has been isolated from several fish species. The main aim present study was to further explore variability 27 V. tapetis isolates bivalves and fish, considering three different aspects; in vitro virulence based on loss hemocyte adhes...

Pempek is one of the traditional foods South Sumatra which a processed food made from fish and tapioca flour. The chewy texture pempek very popular among consumers, but addition too much flour can make has hard texture. One alternative to improve using isolate soy protein (ISP). This study aims obtain optimum formulation added with based on consumer preferences identify ideal attributes sensory...

Stunting is a condition of failure to grow and develop in children due lack nutritional intake for long time. This major threat realizing quality Indonesian human resources. The consumption animal protein Indonesia at least 6 kg/capita/day. Therefore, food diversification program needed meet the needs protein, especially those sourced from fish. One aquaculture commodities that has very large o...

A disease outbreak occurred in June 2012 among mud loach cultured on pond farms in Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea. Mortality rates reached up to 1.2% in the farm per day. Typical clinical signs were bleeding ulcer at the middle portion of head and haemorrhagic erosion of the operculum. Based on biochemical characteristics, the causative bacterium isolated from diseased fish was identified a...

Background: Test of pahogenecity of fish pathogens usually done by injection or ingestion of the bacterial samples on the fish. Objective of the current research was to introduce a new method of testing pathogenecity of fish pathogens through an artificial infection system. The targeted method was to observe the pathogenecity in aquarium condition by direct infection of the system water with ba...

A molecular characterization of two Mycobacterium marinum genes, 16S rRNA and hsp65, was carried out with a total of 21 isolates from various species of fish from both marine and freshwater environments of Israel, Europe, and the Far East. The nucleotide sequences of both genes revealed that all M. marinum isolates from fish in Israel belonged to two different strains, one infecting marine (cul...
