Virulence factors and antibiotic resistance in enterococci isolated from food-stuffs
A collection of 250 enterococci isolated from various food-stuffs were used to investigate seven virulence determinants and the microbial susceptibility of eight antibiotics. Species-specific PCR revealed the presence of E. faecalis (127 isolates), E. faecium (77 isolates), E. casseliflavus (21 isolates), E. mundtii (19 isolates) and E. durans (six isolates). Multiplex PCR for virulence factors...
متن کاملMultidrug Resistance and Virulence Factors of Enterococci Isolated from Milk and Some Dairy Desserts
Background: Enterococci spp. bacteria especially Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium have the ability to acquire antibiotic-resistance pattern and causing life-threatening hospital-acquired infections. So, the aim of this study was to count and isolate of E. faecalis and E. faecium from milk and dairy desserts consumed in Assiut city, Egypt. Methods: A total of 100 raw milk, ice cream, mehall...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance and virulence factors among Enterococci isolated from chouriço, a traditional Portuguese dry fermented sausage.
Enterococci are ubiquitous microorganisms, found as part of the normal intestinal microbiota of many animals. They can be present in food products, for example, the Portuguese dry fermented sausage chouriço. Twenty enterococci were isolated from chouriço in two processing units; after identification and typification by conventional-molecular methods, the isolates were screened for virulence fac...
متن کاملDetecting Virulence Factors and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Trueperella Pyogenes Isolated from Bovine Mastitic Milk
Backgrounds and Aims: Mastitis is a mammalian disease which is considered important due to its potential economic damages. Trueperella pyogenesis is one of the important opportunistic pathogens of the mammary glands of cattle. This bacterium can produce acute mastitis infection in dairy cattle. In fact, this bacterium has several virulence genes which contribute to its pathogenicity. Therefore,...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance pattern of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from ready-to-eat food stuffs
Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli are the most important causes of food-borne diseases due to the consumption of contaminated ready to eat foods. The present investigation was done to study the prevalence rate and antibiotic resistance pattern of STEC strains recovered from various types of ready to eat foods. Seven-hundred and twenty various types of food samples were collected and cultured. Is...
