Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the etiological agent of bacterial coldwater disease and the rainbow trout fry syndrome in salmonid aquaculture worldwide. However, there have been few studies into the capacity of F. psychrophilum to form biofilms and how these cellular accretions differ from planktonic cells or how they affect potential virulence. We evaluated the biofilm formation by three Chi...

Escherichia coli can cause diarrheal and extraintestinal illnesses in humans. Diarrheagenic E. be transmit to human through consumption of contaminated food, including vegetables. Biofilm produced by during food processing plays a role development foodborne illnesses. Vegetables have often been involved infections. A total 40 isolates from vegetables were tested determine biofilm formation at 1...

Cronobacter species are important food-borne opportunistic pathogens which have been implicated in the cause of necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, and meningitis in neonates and infants. However, these bacteria are routinely found in foodstuffs, clinical specimens, and environmental samples. This study investigated the genetic diversity, antimicrobial susceptibility, and biofilm formation of Cr...

The pathogenicity of Escherichia coli O78 strain K46, originally isolated from an outbreak of septicemia in neonatal lambs, was investigated in zebrafish embryo and murine models of infection. Its biofilm potential, cellulose production, and the expression of type 1 pili and curli fimbriae were measured by in vitro assays. The strain was highly pathogenic in the zebrafish embryo model of infect...

Microorganisms have a long history of use in food production and preservation. Their adaptation to food environments has profoundly modified their features, mainly through genomic flux. Streptococcus thermophilus, one of the most frequent starter culture organisms consumed daily by humans emerged recently from a commensal ancestor. As such, it is a useful model for genomic studies of bacterial ...

Infectious diseases caused by infected tools in the environments are threaten to safety and public health. Transmission sources of these infectious unknown, but it is thought that non-living materials called fomites, major source acquired infections. Three hundred one swabs were taken from different cultured on blood agar study heamolysis ability isolated bacteria. In this study, MacConkey was ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is an important multidrug-resistant (MDR) and biofilm producing pathogen that causes diverse infections in human animals. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, forming ability of K. isolates from diseased humans sputum urine samples mastitic cows milk Zagazig city, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. A total 100 animal were collecte...
