Samples were treated by to either oxygen or argon (for 3 5 min each), besides control group, followed examination for their microbial quality, physicochemical properties, topographical structure, sensory attributes. Furthermore, electrical characteristic generation system was measured. All...

Meat industries are eager to find natural low-cost additives for improving the health benefits and shelf life of meat products. The present study elucidated effect four different fruit peel powders, namely lemon, orange, grapefruit, banana (1% each), on oxidative stability, microbial quality, physicochemical properties, sensory attributes chicken patties during 3 months storage at -18 °C. total phenolics flavonoids as well antioxidant activity powders were analyzed. lemon powder contained...

Consumers nowadays are becoming more aware of the importance using only meat products containing safe and natural additives. Hence, food additives for extending shelf life along with delaying microbial growth has become an urgent issue. Given increasingly popular view Moringa oleifera leaves as a traditional remedy also scarcity published data concerning its antimicrobial effect against foodborne pathogens in products, we designed present study to investigate aqueous extract (0.5%, 1%, 2%)...

The aim of the present study was to investigate presence, pathogenic potential and antimicrobial susceptibility profile Escherichia coli isolated from raw milk cheese, traditionally produced by farmers marketed directly consumer in Banat region, Romania. A total 81.1% (43/53) processed samples expressed positive results for E. coli, with a distribution 83.8% (31/37), 75.0% (12/16) cow- sheep-milk-origin assortments, respectively. Overall, 69.8% (30/43) specimens had contamination level ≤10...

Abstract Gastrointestinal infection is a leading cause of gut diseases attracting global health concerns. The emerging antimicrobial resistance in enteric pathogens drives the search viable and renewable alternatives to antibiotics for both human beings animals. Spore-forming probiotic Bacillus have received extensively interests their multiple benefits, including restoration microbiota dysbiosis reduction drug-resistant pathogens. These promising benefits are mainly attributed activity...

This study aimed to provide insights into the main causes of postmortem carcass and organ condemnations in a pig slaughterhouse evaluate resulting financial impact rejection edible parts animals. A population 307,866 pigs, admitted for slaughter between January 2021 December 2022 Bavarian abattoir, was studied. Regarding examined carcasses, 2.09% (n = 6422) presented pathological conditions. Of these, 8.12% 522) 91.88% 5900) were totally partially confiscated, respectively. The reason...

Campylobacter spp. represents one of the most frequently incriminated pathogens in evolution foodborne gastroenteritis humans worldwide. Alongside Salmonella spp., Yersinia Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes, these represent a principal threat to public health because they are vehiculated via food products many them have developed alarming resistance different classes antimicrobials. Thus, present study aimed provide scientifically relevant data on risk represented by contamination...

The survey was undertaken to investigate the presence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Salmonella spp. in raw ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, Campylobacter retail chicken meat collected two counties Transylvania, Romania. A total 13.1% (51/388) examined food samples were found be positive, with a distribution 14.7% (48/326) (i.e., pork, carcass, shell egg) 4.8% (3/62) RTE sausages, but not ham salami), respectively. These differences statistically significant (p = 0.034). isolates...

The main objectives of the present study were to determine occurrence coagulase positive staphylococci (CPS) and assess presence antimicrobial susceptibility profile Staphylococcus aureus isolates in different raw milk origin (cow sheep) traditional cheeses marketed Banat region, Romania. Additionally, mecA gene S. staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) cheese samples evaluated. A total 81.6% (138/169) screened for CPS. Furthermore, 35.5% (49/138) investigated CPS contaminated with aureus, an...

To investigate the transmission of species Cryptosporidium Tyzzer, 1907 in Timis County, Romania, 48 isolates coccidia from 11 children, 29 calves and eight pigs were characterised by molecular analysis two loci (SSU rRNA 60-kDa glycoprotein gene). Overall, 22 amplified sequence analyses revealed that all parvum 1912. Two subtype families identified, IIa IId. Subtype IIdA22G1 (n = 4) was single C. found children. Subtypes included IIdA27G1 8), a novel subtype, IIdA25G1 5), 2), IIdA21G1a 1),...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of lactic acid (LA), acetic acid, (AA) and trisodium phosphate (TSP) spray on microbiological population beef carcass surfaces slaughtered in a traditional abattoir Zagazig, Egypt. Higher microbial populations were determined shoulder than thigh surfaces, meat sampling by tissue excision technique yielded significantly higher ( <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <mi>P</mi> <mo>&lt;</mo> <mn>0.01</mn> </math> )...

This study was concerned with the green synthesis of gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) using bioactive constituents Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) and Helichrysum italicum (immortelle) extracts, as reducer stabilizer agents along determination their antibacterial antibiofilm activity against E. coli, S. aureus, epidermidis. The AuNFs were characterized STEM, UV–Vis, DLS, ZETA, FESEM-EDX, FTIR techniques. evaluated by microdilution broth microtiter plate (MTP) tests, respectively. STEM DLS analysis...

Treating infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasingly difficult due to high antibiotic resistance, materialized through the presence of multiple resistance strains, as well rapid development throughout treatment. The present survey was conducted investigate susceptibility profile pathogens in two University Veterinary hospitals from different geographical regions Romania (i.e., Southwest Timișoara county and Northeast Iași county) involved superficial canine infections. A...

Hepatozoon is an apicomplexan parasite of carnivores transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus trough ingestion.
