Farms are significant hotspots for the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes (ARGs) into environment directly to humans. The prevalence ARGs on farms underscores need effective strategies reduce their spread. This study aimed evaluate impact a guideline "best practices farming" at reducing antibiotic resistance. A focused prudent use, selective therapy, hygienic immune-prophylactic was developed provided owners 10 selected dairy veterinarians. Fecal samples were collected...
Tetrodotoxins (TTXs) are a group of potent neurotoxins named after the Tetraodontidae fish family (pufferfish). TTXs have been reported in several animal taxa, both terrestrial and marine. The ingestion TTX-contaminated flesh can cause serious neurotoxic symptomatology eventually lead to death. Traditionally, associated with Asian countries, particular pufferfish consumption. However, they also bivalve mollusks farmed Pacific area and, recently, European seas. In Europe, different countries...
Antibiotic resistance is a serious concern for public health. Farm environments are relevant reservoirs of antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes (ARGs), thus strategies to limit the spread ARGs from farms environment needed. In this study broiler farm, where antibiotics have never been used any purpose, was selected evaluate if measure effective in reducing load farm (FE) meat processing (MPE). Faecal samples FE MPE were processed DNA extraction. Detection quantification 16S rRNA gene...
Molecular approaches are increasingly used to help in species diagnostics. These have been recently and successfully applied assess some taxonomic questions within the mite family Phytoseiidae. However, many protocols for DNA extraction of such small specimens require crushing entire sample, precluding deposition carcass as a museum voucher. This study aimed determine efficiency modified Qiagen DNeasy tissue kit method both extract enough performing PCR sequencing, recover intact adult...
A side effect of antibiotic usage is the emergence and dissemination resistance genes (ARGs) within microbial communities. The spread ARGs among pathogens has emerged as a public health concern. While distribution documented on global level, their routes transmission have not been clarified yet; for example, it clear whether to what extent originates in farms, following selective pressure exerted by animal husbandry, if they can into environment. Here we address this cutting edge issue...
Ultraviolet filters (UV-filters) are compounds extensively used in personal care products. These produced at increasing rates and discharged into marine ecosystems unknown quantities with no regulation, making them emerging contaminants. Among those, the UV-filter 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) is a variety of products such as sunscreens, soaps, or lipsticks. This high consumption has resulted its presence various environmental matrices concentrations ranging from ng to μg L−1. Very...
UV-filters are one of the largest classes emerging contaminants that produced at increasing rates and discharged into marine ecosystems in unknown quantities with no regulation. Among those, UV-filter 4-MBC is used a variety personal care products cosmetics has been found concentrations ranging from ng to μg L-1 levels rivers coastal environments. Very little known, however, about possible adverse effects exposed non-target organisms. Our study presents novel data on bioaccumulation,...
In this report, we present the whole-genome sequence of a Campylobacter jejuni strain isolated recursively for last 3 years from an Italian poultry farm.
