AIM The aim was to assess the prevalence of Salmonella in raw chevon and chicken meat sold in the retail meat shops situated in and around Durg, Rajnandgaon, Dhamtari, Raipur, and Bilaspur districts of Chhattisgarh. Studies were also conducted to find out the antibiotic resistance in Salmonella isolates. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 400 samples comprising of 200 chevon meat and 200 chicke...

The haloalkane-degrading bacteria Rhodococcus rhodochrous NCIMB13064, Pseudomonas pavonaceae 170, and Mycobacterium sp. strain GP1 share a highly conserved haloalkane dehalogenase gene (dhaA). Here, we describe the extent of the conserved dhaA segments in these three phylogenetically distinct bacteria and an analysis of their flanking sequences. The dhaA gene of the 1-chlorobutane-degrading str...

The two positive cis elements in the soybean nodulin N23 gene promoter were investigated in transgenic Lotus corniculatus plants and shown to constitute a two-component nodule-specific enhancer. Equal quantitative contributions from the two components were suggested by the similar expression level of chimeric N23-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase genes after deletion of either the distal positi...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality Minas fresh cheese commercialized in Federal District, Brazil. For this, 20 samples industrialized cheeses were collected supermarkets and artisanal public food markets. analyzes performed total count bacteria, determination coliforms, S. aureus identification Salmonella spp. (InvA gene) (SeC gene). results showed that 26 (65%) u...

Objective: Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of gallbladder. The gallbladder often colonized by Salmonella during typhoid fever. association between cytokine and virulence genes not well known. current study aims to identify proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α IFN-γ, two genes, InvA PagC, extracted from S. typhi isolates obtained patients undergoing cholecystectomy.

Cattle are the main reservoirs for Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), the only known zoonotic intestinal E. coli pathotype. However, there are other intestinal pathotypes that can cause disease in humans, whose presence has been seldom investigated. Thus, our aim was to identify the effects of anthropic pressure and of wild and domestic ungulate abundance on the distribution and div...

This study compared the antimicrobial susceptibility and prevalence of virulence genes in Salmonella enterica Typhimurium isolated from healthy and diseased pigs in Korea. A total of 456 Salmonella Typhimurium isolated from healthy (n = 238) and diseased (n = 218) pigs between 1998 and 2011 were investigated. In total, 93.4% of the Salmonella Typhimurium isolates were resistant to at least one ...

Pathogen contamination of surface water is a health hazard in agricultural environments primarily due to the potential for contamination of crops. Furthermore, pathogen levels in surface water are often unreported or under reported due to difficulty with culture of the bacteria. The pathogens are often present, but require resuscitation, making quantification difficult. Frequently, this leads t...
