Harnessing for Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Green Synthesis: A Sustainable Solution to Combat Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Pathogens.

The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in food products poses a significant threat to public health, necessitating innovative and sustainable antimicrobial solutions. This study investigates the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) using extracts to evaluate their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against MDR strains isolated from sold fish samples. The obtained results show that the contamination with reached 54.

Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activity of Green-Synthesized Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Against Multidrug-Resistant Isolated from Retail Fish.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) is a major foodborne pathogen posing a critical threat to public health, particularly through the contamination of animal products. The increasing prevalence and virulence of MDR strains underscore the urgent need for alternative antimicrobial strategies. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) using as a sustainable capping and reducing agent, aligning with green chemistry principles.

Irradiation as a Promising Technology to Improve Bacteriological and Physicochemical Quality of Fish.

Fish is an excellent source of protein and other essential minerals and vitamins; nevertheless, several food-borne disease outbreaks have been linked to the consumption of different types of fish. Therefore, we aimed to overcome these health threats by evaluating gamma radiation as a good fish preservation method. The aerobic plate count (APC), identification of most common pathogenic bacteria, organoleptic properties, proximate composition, and other chemical evaluations were detected in both untreated and gamma-treated fish.

Anti-Biofilms' Activity of Garlic and Thyme Essential Oils against .

Biofilm control by essential oil (EO) application has recently increased to preclude biofilm production on foods and environmental surfaces. In this work, the anti-biofilm effects of garlic and thyme essential oils using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method against recovered from different abattoir samples were investigated along with the virulence genes ( and genes), and the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of . as well.

Molecular characterization of virulence and drug resistance genes-producing Escherichia coli isolated from chicken meat: Metal oxide nanoparticles as novel antibacterial agents.

Escherichia coli is a major global foodborne pathogen, infecting a wide range of animals and contaminating their meat products. E. coli, can lead to high morbidity and mortality with a huge economic loss especially if foodborne diseases are associated with multidrug resistant (MDR)- and multivirulent-producing pathogens.
