Background: Contaminated handmade street foods are often claimed to occur food-borne diseases, especially in developing countries. Therefore, considering the public health issue, this study was conducted to assess the microbial contamination of handmade sauce used by street food vendors in Jashore, Bangladesh. Methods: A total of 30 samples of Plum Sauce (PS) and Tomato Sauce (TS) were collect...

Species distribution of Enterobacteriaceae and non-Enterobacteriaceae responsible for urinary tract infections at the Zainoel Abidin Hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3313-3318. Urinary infection (UTI) is an that occurs along caused by pathogenic bacteria. are generally normal flora originating from large intesti...

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the frequency of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and different drug resistance phenotypes in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinical specimens in Gonbad-e Kavus, Golestan Province. Methods: 220 clinical samples of urine, blood, pus, sputum, CSF, body fluids, and ear and eye discharge were collected during six months from April to September ...

The study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels added sucrose on fermentation quality and microbial community kudzu (Pueraria lobata) silage. three supplementation utilized were 0, 0.5, 1.0%, was silaged for 15, 30, 60 days. Sucrose significantly decreased pH levels, acid detergent fiber, ammonia nitrogen content, relative abundance Pantoea in silages (p < 0.05). addition 1% s...

The Rcs phosphorelay system, a non-orthodox two-component regulatory system, integrates environmental signals, regulates gene expression, and alters the physiological behavior of members of the Enterobacteriaceae family of Gram-negative bacteria. Recent studies of Rcs system focused on protein interactions, functions, and the evolution of Rcs system components and its auxiliary regulatory prote...

Extended-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are a public health concern due to limited treatment options. Here, we report on the occurrence and the molecular characteristics of extended-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae recovered from wild birds (kelp gulls). Our results revealed kelp gulls as a reservoir of various extended-spectrum cephalosporinase genes ass...

Swab sample data from a 13-month microbiological baseline study of swine carcasses at Swedish abattoirs were combined with excision sample data collected routinely at five abattoirs. The aim was to compare the numbers of total aerobic counts, Enterobacteriaceae, and Escherichia coli, recovered by swabbing four carcass sites with gauze (total area 400 cm2) with those obtained by excision at equi...

Limited information is available regarding AmpC β-lactamase (ABL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae compared to extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing enterobacteria. Since ABL-producing organisms are often resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents, therapeutic options against these pathogens are limited. Among 230 clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates, 64 (27.8%) were found to produce ABL in our s...

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of the Combination Double Disc Method in the identification of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates. Materials and Methods: A total of 44 clinically relevant Enterobacteriaceae isolates were examined. The ESBL classification furnished by Combination Double Disc Test Method was concordant with that of the comparison method (Etest ESBL and molecular iden...
