INTRODUCTION Given the major impact in terms of morbidity and mortality that episodes of early neonatal sepsis (ENS) have on both newborns and health systems, this study aimed to identify the etiological profile of early neonatal bacterial sepsis by a multiplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). METHODOLOGY Blood samples from newborns diagnosed with clinical ENS and hosp...

An updated data analysis in the changing foodborne pathogens evolution in Romania and improvements in food chain traceability is provided for comparison with trends in the context of global food trade. This report represents a monitoring plan from 2013-2014, that was used to assess the prevalence of some foodborne pathogens from different meat (bovine, sheep, goat, pork, chicken, turkey carcass...

The present paper evaluated the microbiology of salmon by quantifying mesophilic heterotrophic microorganisms, total and thermotolerant coliforms, and the presence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp., Escherichia coli and Aeromonas sp. in the meat. This study can provide technical support for the suggestion of a new regulation of a Brazilian legislation through spe...

Mural paintings in Carmona (Spain), Herberstein (Austria) and Greene (Germany), showing visible deterioration by microorganisms, were sampled to investigate the biodiversity of the heterotrophic bacteria present. Four hundred twenty-eight bacterial strains were isolated from which 385 were characterized by fatty acid methyl ester analysis (FAME). The isolates were grouped into 41 clusters on th...

The present study was aimed at isolating endophytic fungi from the Algerian medicinal plant Salicornia arabica and analyzing its antifungal antibacterial effects. morphological analysis allowed us to identify endophyte isolates genus level as belonging 8 different genera, Aureobasidium sp., Ulocladium Acremonium Stemphylium Penicillium Aspergillus Phoma Chrysosporium sp. with frequency percenta...

Marine sediments accommodate plethora of diverse microorganisms with varying ecological functions. In the present study, we isolated bacteria from surficial sediments of south east Arabian Sea (AS) and evaluated their bioactive potentials. A total of 131 isolates belonging to the phylum: γ-Proteobacteria (63%), Bacillales (34%) and Micrococcaceae (3%) were isolated. Among these, about 40% of th...

Foot odour is caused by combination of sweat and bacteria. Smelly feet can lead to lack confidence discomfort. In this study, conducted on 21 probands isolate the microbes with following criteria: male, aged 18-25 years, wore shoes for 8 hours without taking them off, moist, smelly feet. Isolating from using a cotton swab. The result study found 7 isolates. Several bacteria isolates, namely: St...

Four staphylococcal isolates from clinical and necropsy specimens from a cat, a dog, a horse and a parrot (Psittacus erithacus timneh) were found to constitute a distinct taxon. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that its closest phylogenetic relatives are Staphylococcus intermedius and Staphylococcus delphini. Growth characteristics, biochemical features and DNA-DNA hybridizations demons...
