Antibacterial Effects of Essential Oils on , Methicillin-Resistant , and spp. Isolated from Dog Wounds.

: Essential oils exhibit several biological activities such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, proliferative, and anti-inflammatory. This study was aimed at investigating the antimicrobial effects and cytotoxic activities of niaouli, palmarosa, and clove essential oils. : Content analyses of these essential oils were carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Determination of antibiotic resistance profiles and biofilm production of Staphylococcus spp. isolated from Anatolian water buffalo milk with subclinical mastitis.

Mastitis is one of the most crucial diseases of dairy animals. Especially subclinical mastitis (SCM) has negative impacts on of dairy economy in term of reducing milk quality and quantity also premature culling and cost of therapy. Staphylococci are important etiological agents in SCM.

Molecular analysis and genotyping of methicillin-resistant strains isolated from different clinical sources.

Background: Investigating genetic relatedness between methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains from humans and different animal species may clarify the epidemiological characteristic of MRSA infections together.

Aim: The aim of the study was to perform genotypic characterization and type strains of MRSA isolated from different clinical sources, by molecular techniques.

Materials And Methods: The molecular characterization of the strains was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using several specific oligonucleotides.

Characterization of Enterococcus faecalis isolates originating from different sources for their virulence factors and genes, antibiotic resistance patterns, genotypes and biofilm production.

In this study, 72 Enterococcus faecalis isolates originating from humans (n=39), dogs (n=26) and cats (n=7) were investigated for some virulence factors, some virulence genes, antibiotic resistance phenotypes, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) patterns and biofilm production. Of the isolates, 31 (43.1%) were positive for gelatinase, 11 (15.

Development and validation of glycoprotein-based native-subunit vaccine for fish against Aeromonas hydrophila.

Aeromonas hydrophila is known to be causative agent of an infection named as Bacterial haemorrhagic septicaemia or red pest in freshwater fish. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the glycoprotein-based fish vaccine against Aeromonas hydrophila. For this aim, after identification and characterization of A.
