Oxazolidinone resistance is a serious limitation in the treatment of MDR Enterococcus infections. Plasmid-mediated oxazolidinone has been strongly linked to animals where use phenicols might co-select both antibiotic families. Our goal was assess diversity genes conferring phenicol/oxazolidinone among diverse enterococci and characterize optrA genetic environment.Chloramphenicol-resistant isolates (>16 mg/L, n = 245) from different sources (hospitals/healthy humans/wastewaters/animals)...
Abstract Objectives The epidemiology of Enterococcus resistant to priority antibiotics including linezolid has mainly been investigated in developed countries and especially hospitals. We aimed evaluate the contribution different non-human reservoirs for burden MDR enterococci Tunisia, where scarce data are available. Methods Samples (n = 287) were collected from urban wastewater 57), retail meat 29; poultry/bovine/ovine), milk 89; bovine/ovine), farm animal faeces 80; poultry/bovine/ovine)...
Due to its important role in the formation of humic acids (HA), improving lignin degradation during composting has usually been considered a challenge. One practice that could stimulate biodegradation this recalcitrant molecule is inoculation with exogenous lignolytic fungal strains. Two composts (C1) and (C2) from piles (H1) (H2) were evaluated. H1 was control pile H2 inoculated at maturity Trametes trogii, resulting 35% increase rate compared H1. The aim study show main effects on...
Abstract Objectives poxtA is the most recently described gene conferring acquired resistance to linezolid, a relevant antibiotic for treating enterococcal infections. We retrospectively screened in diverse enterococci and aimed characterize its genetic/genomic contexts. Methods was by PCR 812 from 458 samples (hospitals/healthy humans/wastewater/animals/retail food) obtained Portugal/Angola/Tunisia (1996–2019). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing performed 13 antibiotics (EUCAST/CLSI)....
The current investigation aimed to assess the impact of sewage sludge on physico-chemical and bacteriological characteristics soils cultivated with forage Triticale “X Triticosecale Wittmack." was sourced from activated treatment plant in city Béja, northern Tunisia. These effects were compared those unaltered control plot treated chemically fertilized ammonitrates. findings indicated an enhancement soil organic content (TOC matter) a notable increase (S-N-K for p = 0.05) fertilizing...
Application of different types organic wastes may have a marked effect on soil microbial biomass and its activity. The objective this study was to quantify the amount in loamy-clayey soil, amended with waste residues (composts municipal solid ages, sewage sludge farmyard manure) incubated for 8 weeks at 25°C two-thirds field capacity, using fumigation–extraction method. Both biomass-C -N ( B C N , respectively) appeared be dependent type residues, their degree stability, chemical...
In order to qualify the germicidal efficacy of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system, we generally determine reduction viable bacteria after UV-C irradiation. However, simple count and cultivable in usual media cannot reflect whether or not UV dose applied disinfect water is sufficient inactivate bacteria. Indeed, there a bacterial mix UV-treated water: dead bacteria, but noncultivable (VBNC). The third type can constitute potential risk for public health. fact, VBNC be active cause diseases....
Since the introduction of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy and dramatic improvement in prognosis individuals with Human Immunodeficiency Virus, liver disease due to chronic viral hepatitis has become as important cause morbidity mortality co-infected individuals. The objective study was determine Sero-prevalence Hepatitis B C Virus association virus infection. As infections are highly prevalent they among major public health concern developing countries including Ethiopia investigating...
The ubiquitous coexistence of heavy metals and organic contaminants was increased in the polluted soil phytoremediation as a remedial technology management option is recommended to solve problems co-contamination. Growth Zea mays L pollutant removal ability may be influenced by interactions among mixed pollutants. Pot-culture experiments were conduced investigate single interactive effect cadmium (Cd) pentachlorophenol (PCP) on growth L, PCP, Cd from soil. response considerably interaction...
