Aquaculture plays a key role in food production globally and provides valuable source of protein nutrition, addressing worldwide growing demand. Oplegnathus punctatus (spotted knifejaw) is an economically important fish species with high market value Previous studies on O. focused mainly gonadal development, chromosomal microstructure, selective breeding, characterization immune genes, viral di...

Introduction: A total of (116) diarrhea-sufficient patient samples gathered from February 15, 2019 to April 2019. Methodology: Using colonial morphology, microscopic examination, biochemical testing, and the 20 R API Enter systems, bacteria were able be identified. Ultimate "PCR" identification E. coli ("MDH" gene). Result: Rendering results obtained according morphological, cultural characters...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Dentures in the oral cavity may act as a reservoir of microorganisms, which may be related to systemic infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the nonoral pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity of patients with removable dentures in Shiraz, Southern Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS The bacterial flora of saliva samples from 50 men and 50 women with removable dentur...

Increasing trend of antibiotic resistance and expression of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBLs) are serious threats for public health as they render the treatment ineffective. Present study was designed to elucidate the antibiotic-susceptibility patterns of ESBL and non-ESBL producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae causing urinary tract infections so that the ineffective antibiotics could be r...

OBJECTIVE To determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of Escherichia coli (E coli) isolated from the shell membrane and yolk of commercial chicken eggs in Grenada. METHODS A total of 450 eggs were collected from different locations including small (33.3%) and big farms (26.7%), roadside vendors (26.7%) and supermarkets (13.3%). The shell membranes and yolk were cultured separately on bl...

Tetrodotoxins (TTX) are a potent group of natural neurotoxins putatively produced by symbiotic microorganisms and affecting the aquatic environment. These neurotoxins have been recently found in some species of bivalves and gastropods along the European Coasts (Greece, UK, and The Netherlands) linked to the presence of high concentrations of Vibrio, in particular Vibrio parahaemolyticus. This s...

Th e Colorado Potato Beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Col.: Chrysomelidae), is a pre-eminent pest on solanaceous crops worldwide, and much research has focused on the diff erent components of its variable population dynamics. L. decemlineata has developed resistance to insecticides used for its control. Consequently, alternative methods are needed urgently for the control of this ...

Bacteria were isolated from roots of sugarcane varieties grown in the fields of Punjab. They were identified by using API20E/NE bacterial identification kits and from sequences of 16S rRNA and amplicons of the cpn60 gene. The majority of bacteria were found to belong to the genera of Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, and Klebsiella, but members of genera Azospirillum, Rhizobium, Rahnella, Delftia, Cau...

Background: In African countries, where the burden of neonatal sepsis is highest, spread Carbapenemases Producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in community, potentially contributing to mortality, a public health concern. The transmission routes are not well defined, particularly possible key role played by pregnant women. aim this study was understand acquisition CPE Yaounde, Cameroon. Methods: A t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Klebsiella species are of the most common bacteria involved in nosocomial and urinary tract infections. Genetic elements such as class 1 integrons have an important role in the resistance development. In this study, the share of class 1 integrons, the genetic characterization of the integron cassettes and PFGE profiles of the clinical Klebsiella isolates are evaluated ...
