The scientific community working in the field of insect pathology is experiencing an increasing academic and industrial interest in the discovery and development of new bioinsecticides as environmentally friendly pest control tools to be integrated, in combination or rotation, with chemicals in pest management programs. In this scientific context, market data report a significant growth of the ...

The AutoMicrobic system (AMS) is capable of identifying most Enterobacteriaceae within 8 h and many glucose-nonfermenting, gram-negative bacilli after 13 h of incubation. Early preliminary results can be readily obtained from the computer as the tests incubate. Data with 1,023 bacterial isolates were reviewed to determine the relative accuracy of 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 13-h identifications. All A...

Food-borne zoonoses have a major health impact in industrial countries. Campylobacter spp., Salmonella enterica, Yersinia enterocolitica and Listeria monocytogenes are high-risk food-borne zoonotic hazards in finishing pigs. The objectives of this work were (1) to study the isolation rate of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp. and L. monocytogenes in the tonsils an...

". .. the plague bacillus never dies or disappears for good;. .. it bides its time in bedrooms, cellars, trunks, and bookshelves; and perhaps the day would come when, for the bane and the enlightening of men, it would rouse up its rats again and send them forth to die in a happy city. " Albert Camus, The Plague. Few other pathogens have caused as much devastation in human history as Yersinia pe...

This study was carried out to investigate the species identification and enumeration of some pathogenic microorganisms before after feeding full ration contaminated by predatory starling bird herds on 5 different days in dairy cattle farm Aksaray. At end study, average number E.coli obtained from feed samples taken arrival starlings 6.46 log cfu/g, while birds flocked found as 6.80 cfu/g. While...

OBJECTIVES Akacid plus is a new member of the polymeric guanidine family of disinfectants. It was especially developed to enhance the antimicrobial activity of this class with significantly less toxicity. The in vitro activity of Akacid plus compared with chlorhexidine digluconate and mupirocin was tested against a total of 369 recent clinical isolates. METHODS The organisms tested by CLSI re...

materials and methods: a total of 285 commercial and traditional dairy products as well as 267 pasteurized and raw milk samples were collected during one year. the samples were studied by culturing and the positive-culture samples were investigated using pcr techniques. results: the results of culture showed that 52 (9.42%) and 28 (5.07%) of the total 552 milk and dairy samples were positive fo...

BACKGROUND Various food-producing animals were recognized in recent years as healthy carriers of bacterial pathogens causing human illness. In northern Fennoscandia, the husbandry of semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) is a traditional livelihood and meat is the main product. This study determined the presence of selected foodborne pathogens, methicillin-resistant Staphyloco...

The aim of this study was to evaluate and characterize the bacterial load present in twenty-four Ready-To-Eat (RTE) sandwiches, purchased at refrigerated vending machines supermarkets province Modena (Italy). We isolated 54 strains, including pathogens interest food safety, such as Listeria, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Yersinia, Aeromonas Acinetobacter spp. Phenotypic tests have been performe...
