Background: Unlike industrially production, Iranian traditional doogh are not pasteurized after production. Hence, possible contamination with different pathogenic bacteria may occur during production or post-production of traditional doogh. The aim of the present study was to monitor the behavior of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes in traditional Iranian doogh at different t...

background: campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli are zoonotic bacteria which are frequently associated with human diarrhea. sharing of the cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes in campylobacter is common and is considered species specific. objectives: in this study we focused on detecting the presence of cdt gene in c. jejuni and c. coli isolated from broilers, turkeys and quails of ir...

this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of combined microwave-ultrasonic pasteurization system on escherichia coli and vitamin c content in sour cherry juice (scj). based on the findings, microwave output power, ultrasound power, and ultrasonic exposure time as well as the microwave-induced temperature were the most effective factors in reducing e. coli and vitamin c content. in addition,...

Both Chlamydophila psittaci and Escherichia coli infections are highly prevalent in Belgian turkeys and therefore they both might contribute to the respiratory disease complex observed in turkeys. C. psittaci can infect turkeys within the first week of age, even in the presence of maternal antibodies. However, the first C. psittaci outbreaks occur mostly at the age of 3 to 6 weeks, the period w...

Activin A is a member of the transforming growth factor β super family. Because of its extensive clinical usages, its recombinant production is beneficial. In this study, activin A was expressed in E. coli using the pET 21a expression vector. The optimization of the activin A production in E. coli was done by using the response surface methodology (RSM). At this stage, the effect of IPTG and la...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA) and IgG, IgA in calves with diarrhea caused by rotavirus, coronavirus, Escherichia coli F5 and Eimeria species. The experiment was carried out on 40 diarrhoeic and 10 non-diarrhoeic calves (group C). A total of 13 calves were infected with rotavirus or coronavirus (group ...

Some new b-lactams bearing biologically important morpholine ring have been synthesized by acylation of amino b-lactams in the presence of morpholine-4-carbonyl chloride. These novel β-lactams were prepared under mild reaction conditions without any solvent in short reaction times. Their biological activities have been examined against microbial agents such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus),...

Background Collection of non-leukoreduced citrate-phosphate-dextrose-adenine (CPDA-1) whole blood is performed in walking banks. Blood collected under field conditions may have increased risk bacterial contamination. This study was conducted to examine the effects WBC reduction and storage temperature on growth Escherichia coli (ATCC® 25922™) CPDA-1 blood. Methods 450 ml from 10 group O donors ...

The genus Campylobacter  is of great importance to public health because it includes several species that may cause diarrhoea. Poultry and poultry products are known as important sources of human campylobacteriosis. In this study, during the autumn months of 2005, a total of 100 samples from poultry carcasses, representing 20 broiler flocks were obtained by rinse test, after the chilling stage ...
