In study, S. detected 64 milk (45/60; 75%), cheese (12/32; 37.5%), (3/10; 30%), butter (1/10; 10%) samples. A total 81 isolates were identified as by PCR with presence 16S rRNA nuc genes. genes encoding staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) SEA, SEB, SEC, SED multiplex...

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence enterotoxigenic and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus in ice creams. After culture‐based identification isolates, presence 16S rRNA nuc confirmed by mPCR. S. identified 18 56 fruity (32.1%), 4 32 vanilla (12.5%), 1 12 chocolate (8.3%) as 38 isolates 23 cream samples techniques, but only 35 were PCR . To properties PCR‐confirmed a toxin detection kit used (SET RPLA®). Of 9 SEB (75%), SED (8.3%), SEB+SED SEA+SEB+SED...

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence Clostridium botulinum in honey samples using conventional methods and multiplex PCR (mPCR). A total number 150 were randomly collected from apiaries, retail shops, weekly open bazaars, supermarkets Samsun, Turkey. Of samples, 4 (2.6%) positive for neurotoxin gene by mPCR analysis. C. isolates obtained which 3 type 1 B. No regarding E F genes. This is first report B spores being detected isolated revealed that some may present a...

Summary The aim of this study was to investigate the presence Bacillus cereus and detect enterotoxigenic genes in dairy dessert samples utilising a multiplex PCR technique. A total 100 samples, 25 keskul, 12 tavuk gogsu, kazandibi, 30 supangle, 4 profiteroles 17 sutlac were analysed. B. contamination found 7 (7.0%) including 3 (25%) 2 (6.6%) 1 (4%) keskul (5.8%) sutlac. average number between 2.0×10 - 5.0×10 cfu/g these samples. 20 isolates collected from positive results indicated that 30%...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paint, textile, and food industries to coat surfaces absorb UV rays. As a result of its antimicrobial properties nanoscale, it may be promising chemical for decontamination. nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are generally considered safe (GRAS) their stability under challenging processing conditions. Our study investigated activities rosmarinic acid propolis, prepared at different concentrations together with ZnO-NPs. For this purpose,...

In the present work, seasonal distribution of L. monocytogenes in frequently consumed foods Aksaray region, an important transition point, was investigated by cultural and automated methods (ISO 11290 VIDAS LMO2). For this purpose, a total 800 food samples (100 each white, kashar, cream, Tulum cheeses, beef, lamb, chicken, turkey meats) were analysed. Listeria spp. detected 64 (8%) samples, 177 suspected colonies isolated. Of colonies, 71 identified as ISO LMO2 methods. The pathogen from...

The demand for the fast-food industry in world is increasing day by day. In this sense, chicken doner kebab becomes frequently preferred food source daily life. At same time, both a good animal origin protein and cheaper option. Therefore, it prepared consumed high amounts Turkey. study, was aimed to determine presence of Clostridium perfringens its toxin genes traditional Turkish kebabs purchased from restaurants modified atmosphere packaged (MAP) samples collected markets. For purpose, 100...


 Antibiotic resistance is critical today, and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are the current reflection of this threat in terms public health. Our study aimed to investigate effectiveness a known ISO method used detect CREs chicken meat sold Aksaray Region. A total 150 samples (50 drumsticks, 50 breasts, wings) were analyzed CRE by modifying 21528-1:2017 method. For purpose, meropenem ertapenem powders added into buffered peptone water Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar at...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been used for many years in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paint, textile, and food industries coating surfaces, absorbing UV rays due to its antimicrobial properties nanoscale it identified as important chemical decontamination. can be found foods well allowed daily intake adults reported 8-11 mg. Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are generally regarded safe (GRAS) being stable under hard processing conditions. Compared organic acids, ZnO-NPs have better durability,...

Three types of imported Italian cheeses (mozzarella, Parmigiano, and robiola) were evaluated for microbiological qualities in this study with the methods offered by ISO. The existence S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, Coliform bacteria, E. coli, C. perfringens, Salmonella, Yeast, Mold, Staphylococcal enterotoxins was investigated 120 (40 each) samples. monocytogenes Salmonella not detected. VIDAS SET2 technique searched enterotoxins, no toxin spotted. count Mold found under toleration limits all...

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), a hepatotoxic metabolite, occurs due to the consumption of feeds contaminated with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) by lactating animals. This study aims specify presence and levels AFM1 in water buffalo milk produced widely our region. 
 Between years 2019 - 2021, total 250 raw samples were used as material. All transported laboratory cold chain (4 °C) analyzed. Tests done ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) technique specific test kits Ridascreen® M1, r-biopharm for...
