In modern medical processes, new antimicrobial drugs are being widely used in order to rapid and essential eradication of resistant bacterial strains. Broad-spectrum beta-lactamases are enzymes originated from mutations in the common plasmid genes mediators for beta-lactamases such as TEM-1, TEM-2, and SHV-1 are transferred among bacterial species. The genes coding the production of ESBL are of...

A survey of the microbial quality based on enterobacteriaceae counts of the table eggs sold in Egyptian markets was conducted to evaluate their quality and the possibility of presence of Enterovirulent Escherichia coli strains. Six hundred random table egg samples were collected from different shops, supermarkets and homes. Each six pooled eggs constituted a composite sample. Higher enterobacte...

Received at: 18/8/2013 Accepted: 23/10/2013 A total of 105 cases of broilers were collected from broiler flocks showing high mortality rates in Sharkia Governorate. E. coli was isolated from 84 (80%) cases. A number of 11 different serotypes were identified, of which O114:K90 was the most detected with 17.9% of the total isolates. While O125:K70, O55:K59, O111:K58 and O26:K60 were identified wi...

INTRODUCTION Fresh produce has been implicated in a number of documented outbreaks of foodborne illness caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been detected on vegetables, raising concerns about the prevalence of E. coli contamination in produce, which can take place at various points from farm to fork. This study aimed to detect the prese...
