We recently described the genetic antimicrobial resistance and virulence profile of a collection 279 commensal E. coli food-producing animal (FPA), pet, wildlife human origin. Phenotypic (AMR) role as reservoir extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia (ExPEC) virulence-associated genes (VAGs) or potential ExPEC pathogens were evaluated. The most common phenotypic was to tetracycline (76/279, 27.24%), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (73/279, 26.16%), streptomycin sulfisoxazole (71/279, 25.45%...
Salmonella is diffused worldwide, and enterica subsp. spread worldwide with many serovars associated the infection of domestic bovines. The most are S. Dublin, Typhimurium Infantis. Napoli is, however very rarely reported in ruminants. Here, we report an outbreak on a dairy cow farm Northern Italy (Piacenza). A total 18 isolates were recovered from aborted fetuses, feces, tissues environmental samples. Whole genome sequencing suggested that all belonged to same cluster. After application...
Bovine beta casein A1 is one of the most common variants in dairy cattle breeds; it considered a risk factor milk intolerance and other important human diseases, because bioactive peptide casomorphin-7 (BCM7) produced by raw or processed A1-milk, but not A2- milk, during digestion. The aim this study was to perform cheap rapid method investigate polymorphism copious animals. included 2 farms with totally 1230 cows. Beta genotypes were estimated evaluating Exon 7 region bovine gene (CSN2)...
Animals, humans and food are all interconnected sources of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), allowing extensive rapid exchange AMR bacteria genes. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to characterize 279 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from animals (livestock, companion animals, wildlife), in Italy. E. predominantly belonged commensal phylogroups B1 (46.6%) A (29%) using the original Clermont criteria. One hundred thirty-six sequence types (STs) were observed, including different pandemic...
In temperate climates, a seasonal trend was observed in the incidence of human campylobacteriosis cases, with peaks reported spring and autumn some countries, or summer others; similar <em>Campylobacter</em> spp. dairy cattle fecal shedding, suggesting that may play role peak infection. The objectives this study were to assess if thermophilic contamination raw milk exists evaluate possible relation between increase months. results showed mean prevalence 1.6% samples positive for...
Abstract We describe group B Streptococcus linked to disease in farmed pigs and wild porcupines Italy. Occurrence was attributed transmission from nonpasteurized bovine milk whey. Antimicrobial-resistance profiles isolates suggest no common source of infection. Our findings expand the known host range for disease.
Abstract Blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) is one of the last reported invasive species that have colonized Italian coasts, in particular lagoons northern Adriatic Sea. Their massive presence compromising shellfish farming, causing a serious economic crisis among valley populations. To limit damage, blue crabs been introduced as human food markets. This study aimed to evaluate microbiological contamination potential risk health. From July 2023 April 2024, 72 were collected coastal and 5-6 nm...

Paratuberculosis is an enteric disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subs. paratuberculosis (MAP). Quantifying the load of MAP in feces samples offers advantage determining stage infection and planning control measures. Currently, detection fecal specimens relies on cultural assays quantitative PCR (qPCR), but both methods have limitations such as prolonged isolation times for assay absence nucleic acid standards qPCR. Digital (dPCR) represents advancement over qPCR it allows direct...
