spp. are among the most frequent causes of foodborne diseases, and increasing occurrence MDR strains is an additional cause for concern. In three-year period 2019-2021, we collected
Seafood can vehiculate foodborne illnesses from water to humans. Climate changes, increasing contamination and coastlines anthropization, favor the global spread of Vibrio spp. occurrence antibiotic-resistant isolates. The aim this study was evaluate potentially pathogenic in fishery products collected Sicily assess their antibiotic resistance. Bacteriological molecular methods were applied 603 seafood samples detect V. parahaemolyticus, cholerae, vulnificus, alginolyticus order...
The spread of multidrug resistant (MDR) Salmonella strains, along the poultry supply chain, can represent a relevant threat to human health. This study aimed evaluate prevalence and antimicrobial resistance spp. isolated from meat for consumption. Between 2019 2021, 145 samples were analyzed according ISO 6579-1:2017. strains identified by using biochemical-enzymatic assays serotyping, Kauffmann-White-Le Minor scheme. antibiotic susceptibility tests determined Kirby-Bauer method. Forty...
This preliminary study aimed to detect biological and chemical contaminants in vegetables sold Sicily for human consumption, assess the spread of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains these foods, characterize their antimicrobial-resistance genes. A total 29 fresh ready-to-eat samples were analyzed. Microbiological analyses performed detection Salmonella spp. enumeration Enterococci, Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli. Antimicrobial resistance was assessed by Kirby-Bauer method, according...
