Glucuronidase Activity Of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Chicken Carcasses
نویسندگان
چکیده
To identify Escherichia coli through the production of β-D-glucuronidase (GUD), 622 suspect cultures were isolated from chicken carcasses and plated in Petrifilm™ EC. Of these cultures, only 44 (7.1%) failed to produce GUD. This result indicates the usefulness of GUD production for estimating E. coli populations in chicken.

Isolation of enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative straines of Escherichia coli from chicken carcasses by PCR
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative strains ofEscherichia coli in chicken carcasses by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this study 63 strains of E. coliwere isolated from 110 samples of chicken carcasses during processing after chilling in the poultry slaughterhouse of Shahrekord. Polymerase chain reaction assays were used to detect t...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are food-borne pathogens primarily associated with the consumption of contaminated ground beef and are an important food safety concern worldwide. STEC has been found to produce a family of related cytotoxins known as Shiga toxins (Stxs). Shiga toxins have been classified into two major classes, Stx1 and Stx2. A single strains of STEC can produce St...

Pathogenic bacteria are responsible for a significant number of food poisonings in humans through infected poultries. The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of transportation of chicken carcasses at 18-24, 4-5, and 10-14 oC on the bacterial loads of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella species, and Escherichia coli. This study was conducted on 180 fresh chicken carcasses (1197.0...

The aim of this study was to isolate Escherichia coli from chickens and to determine the presence of the eaeA gene, a virulence factor detected in Escherichia coli, in the isolates by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Different chicken organs (lung, liver and spleen) were inoculated onto blood agar and biochemical tests were performed on the suspicious isolates. Escherichiacoliwas isolated from ...
