Genetically feathered and featherless sibling broilers selected for matched BW were killed, scalded, and defeathered to determine the consequences of feathers and empty feather follicles on the recovery of bacteria from carcass breast skin. In trial 1, the vents of all carcasses were plugged and sutured before scalding to prevent the expulsion of cloacal contents during picking. In trial 2, hal...

The aims of this study were to determine the total population of coliform bacteria in the samples collected from diarrhea associated patients from the local area of Bangladesh and to examine the antibacterial efficacy of leaf extracts of Moringa oleifera (Moringaceae) against the isolated coliform bacteria. The coliform bacteria detected in these samples by some microbial-biochemical tests such...

White tea is a type of that still sounds foreign, the high price makes white sometimes used as symbol one's social status. Due to price, not many people consume it, so it less popular. PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IX (PTPN-IX) which located at west foot Mount Slamet, precisely in Pandansari Paguyangan Village, Brebes Regency, Central Java, with an altitude 1,500-2,050 meters above sea level and tem...

The shrimp sector is the second largest export earner for Bangladesh, which is a major contributor in the national economy of Bangladesh. It also provides millions of employment. Every year a huge amount of shrimps are rejected to export due to its pathogenic bacterial contamination. A comparative study regarding prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria in the black ti...

Escherichia coli, total coliform, and fecal coliform population data were collected from two wastewater treatment facilities, a subsurface flow artificial wetlands, and a receiving stream. Results are presented from individual wastewater treatment process streams, final effluent, and river sites upstream and downstream of the treatment [ acilities. The QuantiTray technique with 4-mcthylumbellif...

The present study investigates groundwater quality in terms of heavy metals level and microbial contamination as well as the impact of bleaching powder on microbial load of groundwater samples in close proximity to a surface water body inside selected areas of Ibadan Nigeria. To do so, it collects nine water samples from three boreholes and six hand-dug wells from six locations, namely Eleyele,...

It has long been assumed that prolonged holding of environmental samples at the ambient air temperature prior to bacteriological analysis is detrimental to isolation and detection of Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of pandemic cholera. The present study was aimed at understanding the effect of transporting environmental samples at the ambient air temperature on isolation and enumeration of...

The aim of this article was to define the sampling level and method combination that captures antibiotic resistance at pig herd level utilizing qPCR antibiotic resistance gene quantification and culture-based quantification of antibiotic resistant coliform indicator bacteria. Fourteen qPCR assays for commonly detected antibiotic resistance genes were developed, and used to quantify antibiotic r...
