Epidemiological typing of Bacillus spp. isolated from food

Antiviral Levans from Bacillus spp. Isolated from Honey

In recent years, significant progress has been made in discovering and developing new bacterial polysaccharides that possess novel and highly functional properties (Baird et al 1983). Although their ubiquitous role in biological processes and their versatility as biocompatible, environmentally friendly materials are beyond doubt, polysaccharides are still considered to be the "sleeping giant" o...

FREQUENCY AND ANTIBACTERIAL RESISTANCE OF LISTERIA SPP. ISOLATED FROM THE FOOD AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES IN URMIA

Background & Aims: Genus Listeria especially Listeria monocytogenes (L.monocytogenes), as a food-borne pathogen, is the causative agent of Listeriosis that could be fatal in high risk subjects such as pregnant women, immunocompromised persons, neonates, and elderly. Materials & Methods: In the present study, the frequency of Listeria spp. and L.monocytogenes in 277 food and environmental sampl...

Antibiotic susceptibility of Aspergillus Spp. isolated from contaminated food sources

Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus are frequently reported fungal pathogens known to cause infections in food materials. Fungal growth on the food materials leads to nutritional loss and food spoilage. Consumption of these food materials can cause severe complications and diseases in humans. Antifungal agents are commonly administered to check fungal growth. Knowing the importance of food...

Keratin Production by Decomposing Feather Waste Using Some Local Bacillus spp. Isolated from Poultry Soil

Background; Feather waste is generated in large amounts as a by-product of commercial poultry processing. The main component of feather is keratin. The main purpose of this study was to identify Bacillus spp. (the keratinolytic bacteria) that are able to degrade the feather for producing keratin. Methods; Bacillus spp. Were isolated from the waste of poultries located in Miyaneh city. The bact...
