Abstract Objectives Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to critically important antimicrobials (CIAs) amongst Gram-negative bacteria can feasibly be transferred wildlife, humans and domestic animals. This study investigated the ecology, epidemiology origins of CIA-resistant Escherichia coli carried by Australian silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae), a gregarious avian wildlife species that is common inhabitant coastal areas with high levels human contact. Methods Sampling locations were...
The challenge of eliminating Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, such as in cystic fibrosis lungs, remains unchanged due to the rapid development antibiotic resistance. Poor drug penetration into dense P. biofilms plays a vital role ineffective clearance infection. Thus, current therapy against need be revisited and alternative antibiofilm strategies invented. Fungal quorum sensing molecule (QSM), farnesol, appears have detrimental effects on aeruginosa. this study aimed codeliver naturally...
Knowledge of etiology causes diarrheal illness is essential for development and implementation public health measures to prevent control this disease syndrome. There are few published studies examining diarrhea in children aged <5 years Iraq. This study aims investigate the occurrences epidemiology selected bacterial (Salmonella spp. Campylobacter spp.), viral (adenovirus, norovirus GI GII, astrovirus), parasitic (Entamoeba Giardia spp.) agents stool samples from 155 child cases enrolled...
SUMMARY We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study among children aged <5 years in Thi-Qar Governorate, south-eastern Iraq, order to examine the prevalence, risk factors and antimicrobial resistance associated with gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella infection. From 320 diarrhoea cases enrolled between March August 2016, 33 (10·3%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 8·4–12·4) were stool culture-positive for non-typhoidal enterica . The most commonly identified serovar was Typhimurium...
Dairy cows can be reservoirs of foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella that pose serious public health risks to humans. The study was designed examine the molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance profiles isolates from dairy heifer calves adult lactating in pasture-based system Australia. A total 838 animals (328 510 cows) 22 farms were sampled. Overall, 54 recovered (calves 28/328 26/510). herd-level prevalence 50% (95% confidence interval: 31%-69%) recorded. Within-herd for...
In many low- and middle-income countries, data limitations are a major challenge facing the development of food safety risk assessment. present study, questionnaire collection tool was designed with an emphasis on gathering specific points required by modeller for simulating scenario Campylobacter cross-contamination during handling raw chicken meat at consumer phase. The tested in practice to support its value applicability settings where challenge. study subjects were 450 consumers two...
This study investigated faecal carriage and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Salmonella enterica recovered from rangeland goats. Faecal samples (n = 400) were collected at slaughter four consignments goats 100 per consignment), each one localities in Western Australia. Carriage spp. was detected 106 (26.5%; 95% CI 22.4-31.0%). The rate for consignment ranged between 23-30%. PCR assays targeting the STM2755 STM4497 genes revealed 84.9% (90/106) isolates serovar Typhimurium. Chester (11/106,...
Established models of surveillance for AMR in livestock typically have a low sampling intensity, which creates tremendous barrier to understanding the variation resistance among animal and food enterprises. However, developments laboratory robotics now make it possible rapidly affordably process large volumes samples.
Diarrhea remains a significant cause of child morbidity and mortality in Iraq. The objective this study was to examine the current practices home-based management diarrheal illnesses among Iraqi children. We surveyed mothers children aged less than 5 years identify sociodemographic factors associated with maternal healthcare-seeking practices. A total 500 mother-child pairs were interviewed cross-sectional household survey Thi-Qar Governorate, southeastern Iraq, between March 2016 February...
Die orale Leukoplakie ist eine Mukosaläsion, die im Verdacht steht, prämaligne Form eines Plattenepithelkarzinoms zu sein. Rauchen und Alkohol sind wichtigsten Risikofaktoren, doch weitere Faktoren ebenfalls beteiligt, wobei es insbesondere Hinweise gibt, dass Diabetes mit der oralen assoziiert ist. Daher Zweck dieser Studie, Beziehungen zwischen metabolischen Risikofaktoren untersuchen, Hinblick auf Diabetes. Wir identifizierten 123 Fälle von oraler in populationsbasierten...
Abstract Background Diarrhoea remains a significant cause of child morbidity and mortality in Iraq. The objective this study was to examine the current practices home-based management diarrhoeal illnesses among Iraqi children. We surveyed mothers children below five years age order identify socio-demographic factors associated with maternal health-care seeking practices. Methods A total 500 mother-child pairs were interviewed cross-sectional household survey Thi-Qar Governorate,...
ABSTRACT Success in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is likely to improve if surveillance can be performed more rapidly, affordably and on a larger scale. An approach based robotics agars incorporated with antimicrobials has enormous potential achieve this. However, there need identify combinations of selective key yielding most accurate counts susceptible resistant organisms. A series designed experiments involving 1,202 plates identified best candidate-combinations...
