Second-generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (ARs) can be critical for carnivores, due to their widespread use and impacts. However, although many studies explored the impacts of ARs on small mesocarnivores, none assessed extent which they could contaminate large carnivores in anthropized landscapes. We filled this gap by exploring spatiotemporal trends grey wolf (Canis lupus) exposure central northern Italy, subjecting a sample dead wolves (n = 186) LC-MS/MS method. Most 115/186, 61.8 %)...
Bovine mastitis is a major challenge in dairy farms. Since the agents commonly used for pre- and post-dipping can affect udder health by modifying milk microbiota, alternative products are needed. This study aimed to evaluate effect of use formulations containing fermented broth Nisin A-producing Lactococcus cremoris FT27 strain (treated group, TR) on abundance biodiversity microbiota as compared iodine-based commercial disinfectants (control CTR) during three-month trial. The experiment was...
Background/Objectives: In the Aosta Valley, alpine grazing system integrates livestock production and land management. Valdostana breeding has adapted to this mountainous region, but spread of Staphylococcus aureus within pastures may impact animal health. The aim study was provide an overview S. genotypes associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) virulence profiles in four dairy herds Valley from July 2022 August 2023. Methods: A total 468 composite milk samples were collected at three...
Bacteremia is a potential systemic complication of bronchopneumonia (BP) in dairy calves, which increases the risk sepsis and mortality. However, data on bacteremia farm conditions still limited. This study investigates prevalence calves with BP farms, examining isolated pathogens associations between thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) non-endoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (nBAL) findings. The enclosed 13 farms included 211 eligible preweaned 88 were diagnosed based highly sensitive threshold ≥...
Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen causing intramammary infection and mastitis in dairy cows. S. genotypes (GT) can differ significantly their ability to diffuse persist the herd; while association of virulence gene carriage with epidemiological behavior remains unclear, role for secreted proteins has been postulated. We characterized secretome six strains belonging two opposite within-herd prevalence, GTB (high) GTS (low), corresponding sequence types (ST) 8 398, by high-resolution...
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, especially in hospitalized elderly patients, representing a global public health concern. Clinical presentations vary from mild diarrhea to severe pseudomembranous colitis that may progress toxic megacolon or intestinal perforation. Antibiotic therapy recognized as risk factor and exacerbates dysbiosis microbiota, whose role CDI increasingly acknowledged. A clinically challenging complication...
Second-generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (ARs) can be particularly critical for large carnivores, due to their widespread use and time-delayed impacts on populations. While many studies explored the of ARs small mesocarnivores, no study extent which they could contaminate carnivores in anthropized landscapes Europe.We filled this gap by exploring spatiotemporal trends grey wolf (Canis lupus) exposure central northern Italy, relying a dataset dead wolves (n = 186) tested with standardized...
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major pathogens responsible for intramammary infections in small ruminants, causing severe economic losses dairy farms. In addition, S. can contaminate milk and products produce staphylococcal enterotoxins, being food poisoning. Currently, data on population structure virulence gene patterns strains isolated from goat limited. Therefore, this study aimed at defining Ribosomal Spacer PCR (RS-PCR) genotypes, clonal complexes (CC), spa types, profiles samples...
<title>Abstract</title> Good hygienic milking practices include the disinfection of cows’ teat skin before and after aimed at reducing entry pathogens preventing occurrence new intramammary infections (IMI) in dairy cows. This practice is generally performed using disinfectants, current context attention to emergence resistances, it greatest interest evaluate alternative solutions that can expand treatment options. We assessed efficacy a pre-dipping post-dipping product based on...
Mastitis is the most common disease affecting dairy goats and causing economic losses. Although it accepted that increased somatic cell count (SCC) mainly a response to infection, its reliability for subclinical mastitis detection in controversial. Indeed, many physiological extrinsic variables can increase SCC, including breed, parity, age, stage of lactation, seasonal variations, milking methods. In some animals, milk-secreting tissue present wall teat and, instances, milk filter through...
Staphylococcus aureus is a major mastitis pathogen in dairy cattle worldwide, responsible for substantial economic losses. Environmental factors, milking routine, and good maintenance of equipment have been described as important factors to prevent intramammary infections (IMI). IMI can be widespread within the farm or infection limited few animals. Several studies reported that Staph. genotypes differ their ability spread herd. In particular, belonging ribosomal spacer PCR genotype B...

Background Haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a severe complication of infection with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Although the reservoirs STEC are known, source sporadic cases often unknown. In 2023, we observed several bloody diarrhoea in children and adolescents returning from vacations. Aim We aimed to explore association between travel adolescents. Methods included all identified 2023 by ItalKid-HUS Network surveillance system northern Italy. interviewed children’s...
Introduction Legionnaires’ disease is a severe pneumonia predominantly caused by Legionella pneumophila (Lp), whose major reservoirs are artificial water systems. As most human infections L. serogroup 1 (Lp1), reliable method for Lp distinction can be crucial bacterial spread prevention. the ability to withstand in environments and cause waterborne strongly related specific genes, identification of virulent strains great relevance implement environmental monitoring contain harmful outbreaks...
