Background: DNA amplification method has been developed for identifying and discriminating Salmonella serovars, using specific primers at the genus and serovar levels and to identify the S. Enteritidis, S. Dublin, S. Gallinarum and S. Pullorum. Objectives: This study was conducted for molecular identification and discrimination among some important Salmonella serovars. Methods: Fifty isolates o...

Abstract The consumption of raw milk cheese has been growing worldwide with S. aureus and E. coli the leading agents in food poisoning. present work aims to evaluate microbiological quality cheeses commercialized Brazil, regarding microbiology safety enterotoxin gene presence. Forty-three samples from five different suppliers were analyzed. Counting identification aureus, Salmonella spp perform...

Globalisation and international trade facilitate the rapid spread and transmission of foodborne pathogens. This study was designed to determine the serovars, distribution of virulence genes (invA, avrA, ssaQ, mgtC, siiD, sopB, gipA, sodC1, sopE1, spvC, bcfC) and antibiotic resistance profiles in salmonellae recovered from imported and domestic day-old turkey poults in Egypt. The prevalence of s...

S. typhimurium S. enteritidis S. Kentucky chicken meat MultiplexPCR The present study was conducted for identification of molecular characterization of Salmonella enterica isolated from chicken meat by using multiplex-PCR isolated from 200 samples of fresh chicken meat and 100 samples of ready to eat chicken meat. Samples were assessed by performing the pre-enrichment and enrichment culture, bi...

Diarrhoea, dysentery and other diseases due to other enteric bacteria have reportedly been found to resist chemotherapeutic treatment in some West African communities with fatal consequences in some cases. This study was carried out to determine multidrug resistance patterns of Enterobacteria isolates from processed ready-to-eat foods. Indigenously processed food samples of different types were...

Over the past decades, considerable advances have been made in understanding the crucial role and the regulation of sucrose metabolism in plants. Among the various sucrose-catabolizing enzymes, alkaline/neutral invertases (A/N-Invs) have long remained poorly studied. However, recent findings have demonstrated the presence of A/N-Invs in various organelles in addition to the cytosol, and their i...

Direct quantification of mRNA from Salmonella sp. seeded for 1 h to soil and chicken manure was accomplished using magnetic capture hybridization as a purification technique. This detection strategy targeted the invA gene present in Salmonella sp. After cell lysis, phenol/chloroform purification and isopropanol precipitation, the RNA extract was combined with the hybridization probe conjugated ...

Penetration of the intestinal mucosa at areas of Peyer's patches is an important first step for Salmonella typhimurium to produce lethal systemic disease in mice. However, mutations in genes that are important for intestinal invasion result in only moderately decreased virulence of S. typhimurium for mice. Here we report that combining mutations in invA and lpfC, two genes necessary for entry i...
