The occurrence of Listeria monocytogenes in marine fish and market areas was investigated. Two hundred eighty-eight samples (123 environmental samples—siphons, knives, cutting boards, floor, sinks, water, ice—and 165 samples) were examined. Twenty-four isolates characterized as (five from (4.0%) 19 (11.5%)). strains further according to their antibiotic resistance, pathogenicity, biofilm formation ability. They molecularly serotyped IIc (n = 22) IVb 2) possessed all the virulence genes...
Extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae Acinetobacter spp. are associated with hospital-acquired infections commonly isolated across the poultry food production chain. Comprehensive data regarding prevalence, spatiotemporal variations, characterization of β-lactam-resistant bacteria in farms slaughterhouses is scarce. This study examines prevalence characteristics E. K. pneumoniae, from farms, slaughterhouses, personnel Greece....
Edible chitosan or alginate coatings and their combinations with oregano essential oil olive oil, have been examined for effect on the microbiological, physicochemical organoleptic characteristics of mutton. The results indicated that these edible can contribute to maintaining good quality extending mutton shelf-life. total mesophilic counts in ranged from 3.48 8.00 log10 CFU/g, psychrophilic 4.00 9.50 B. thermosphacta 2.30 7.77 CFU/g lactic acid bacteria 2.00 5.85 CFU/g. Chitosan...
Identifying and monitoring the efficiency of alternative biocides that are presently used in livestock is gaining vast attention. The objective this study was to determine, vitro, antibacterial activity nine commercial water disinfectants, acidifiers, glyceride blends against clinical isolates or reference strains zoonotic pathogens belonging genera Escherichia spp., Salmonella Campylobacter Listeria Staphylococcus spp. For each product, tested concentrations ranging from 0.002 1.136% v/v...
Ruminant meat is considered to be a potent vehicle of foodborne pathogen transmission. Edible coatings are promising for enhancing safety. Here, edible chitosan membranes were applied whole cuts beef and mutton test the survival pathogenic bacteria Listeria monocytogenes methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Meat pieces weighing approximately 200 g inoculated with cocktail three S. aureus isolates or four L. (6.00 log10CFU/g). The encased in coating formed by immersion incubated...
Antimicrobial resistance is considered a topic of utmost interest under the concept “One Health”, having severe implications in both human and veterinary medicine. Among antibiotic-resistant bacteria, gram-negative especially those belonging to order Enterobacterales (such as Escherichia coli), hold prominent position terms virulence possessing/disseminating antimicrobial (AMR) traits. The aim this study was examine presence extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing E. coli isolates raw...
Treatment failure of endodontic infections and their concurrent inflammations is commonly associated with microbial persistence reinfection, also stemming from the anatomical restrictions root canal system. Aiming to address shortcomings current treatment options, a fast-disintegrating nanofibrous film was developed for intracanal coadministration an antimicrobial (ZnO nanoparticles) anti-inflammatory (ketoprofen) agent. The electrospun films were fabricated based on polymers that dissolve...
Background: Extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales Acinetobacter spp. pose significant challenges as nosocomial pathogens, demonstrating resistance against various antimicrobials. Their presence in food suggests that hospital kitchens could serve antibiotic reservoirs leading to patients’ infection. Objectives: The aim of this study was assess the prevalence characteristics β-lactam-resistant strains Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, isolated...
Meat quality dictates consumer preferences with hygiene forming a key component, especially in meat types declining popularity, such as sheep and goat meat. Aiming to increase the marketability of meat, we examined 370 carcasses from two abattoirs Greece. Tests included enumeration total mesophilic viable count, psychrophilic count coliform detection Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes presumptive ESBL Escherichia coli. Moreover, designated samples were used measure pH, moisture, fat...
Abstract Background Urinalysis is not routinely used in bovine medicine, and there no evidence as to whether urine protein‐to‐creatinine ratio (UPC) could be for the diagnosis of renal diseases cattle. Objective The goal study was determine alterations UPCs observed with different subclinical clinically healthy cattle investigate UPC can efficiently differentiate without pathology. Methods Kidney samples from 57 adult dairy (44) beef (13) were collected after slaughter. Urinary protein...
The aim of the study was to investigate in vitro antibacterial activity 8 commercial drinking water additives against major zoonotic poultry pathogens (
Beef is a dominant meat commodity produced mainly from beef cattle breeds. Dairy breeds are reared for milk production, but their calves could be raised to produce high quality subject designated feeding. The objective here was investigate the role of oregano oil-enriched diets on characteristics by Holstein bulls. Fifty bulls, aged 12 ± 2 months and with an average weight 365 60 kg, were used. They equally allocated in two experimental groups (n = 25). One group (group CON) offered basal...
Sheep farming in Greece is focused on milk production. Meat considered a by-product and consists mainly light carcasses of undefined quality. The main challenge the sector to ensure sustainability, hence efforts are towards efficient use available resources, including undervalued local fat-tailed sheep. objective here was twofold: (i) assess carcass quality sheep slaughtered at different live weights (ii) compare them with from thin-tailed In total, 146 97 dairy were used. They belonged five...
