Staphylococcus species are amongst the bacteria that cause bovine mastitis worldwide, whereby they produce a wide range of protein toxins, virulence factors, and antimicrobial-resistant properties which enhancing pathogenicity these organisms. This study aimed to detect spp. from milk cattle with subclinical using MALDI-TOF MS 16S rRNA PCR as well screening for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. Our results uncovered 166 sampled cows, only 33.13% had after initial screening, while...
Globally, the spread of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae from food to humans poses a severe threat public health. The aim this study was assess co-occurrence colistin β-lactamase resistance genes in E. K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa strains isolated faeces abattoir broiler chickens. isolates were successfully detected faecal samples by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at infection rates 60.7%, 22.5% 16.7% respectively. displayed highest...
Abstract Background The Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have become important global public health concerns. This study investigated the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance profile, and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. in sheep goat faeces. Methods results A total of 53 isolates were confirmed by PCR targeting uidA [ β -D glucuronidase] gene. genes stx 1 2, as well bfp A, vir , eae lt aaf II virulence genes, detected this study. Of to be STEC, 100% positive...
ABSTRACT A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) procedure for the detection of Cryptosporidium in environmental and fecal samples was developed evaluated. This is first demonstration LAMP applied to . Due its specificity simplicity, method could become a useful diagnostic tool epidemiologic studies presence.
Three methods, microscopy, nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR), and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) have been applied for malaria diagnosis in 105 human blood samples collected Northern Thailand. Only Plasmodium falciparum vivax infections were detected. A total number of 57 positives (54%) could be detected P. 25 (24%) when all that positive any the three methods are counted together. The nPCR was used as a reference standard comparison with other microscopy LAMP....
This study evaluated the stability of LAMP reagents when stored at 25 degrees C and 37 C, also assessed its detection efficiency on different DNA template preparations. Accordingly, using amplified in vitro cultured T. b. brucei (GUTat 3.1) from day 1 to 15 reagent storage. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) sensitivity among -20 (recommended storage temperature). above-mentioned temperatures serially diluted DNAs (genomic extracted by phenol-chloroform method, FTA card hemolysed...
Ticks carry and transmit a remarkable array of pathogens including bacteria, protozoa viruses, which may be veterinary and/or medical significance. With little to no information regarding the presence tick-borne zoonotic or their known vectors in southern Africa, aim our study was screen for Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi, Coxiella burnetii, Rickettsia species Ehrlichia ruminantium ticks collected identified from ruminants Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal Mpumalanga...
Abstract Background Proteus mirabilis has been identified as an important zoonotic pathogen, causing several illnesses such diarrhoea, keratitis and urinary tract infections. Objective This study assessed the prevalence of P. in broiler chickens, its antibiotic resistance (AR) patterns, ESBL‐producing presence virulence genes. Methods A total 26 isolates were confirmed from 480 pooled chicken faecal samples by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The disk diffusion method was used to evaluate...
