Dissemination, virulence characteristic, antibiotic resistance determinants of emerging linezolid and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. in fish and crustacean.

Enterococci are emerging nosocomial pathogens. Their widespread distribution causes them to be food contaminants. Furthermore, Enterococci can colonize various ecological niches and diffuse into the food chain via contaminated animals and foods because of their remarkable tolerance to unfavorable environmental circumstances.

Prevalence and antibiogram of shigatoxinproducing in camel meat and offal.

Background: Camels are important animals in Egypt and other Arab countries on the basis of their economic value and ethnic culture. is implicated in several gastrointestinal infections and outbreaks worldwide, especially in developing countries. It causes infections that might lead to death.

Assessment of some toxic elements (Co, Cr, Mn, Se, and As) in muscle, offal, hair, and blood of camels () and their risk assessment.

Background: Camel meat tainted with heavy metals or trace elements may pose a health risk to consumers. Heavy metal contamination poses a severe danger due to both their toxicity and bioaccumulation in the food chain.

Aim: To estimate the residual levels of heavy metals (Co, Cr, Mn, Se, and As) in muscle, liver, kidney, hair, and serum of three camel breeds (Magaheem, Maghateer, and Wadha) collected from Al-Omran abattoir, Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.

Cross-sectional analysis of risk factors associated with in retail fish markets concerning methicillin-resistant and .

Introduction: and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) are potent bacterial pathogens posing major hazards to human health via consuming fish harboring these pathogens or by cross-contamination beyond the contaminated environment. The aim of this study was to determine risk variables associated with the presence of certain pathogenic bacteria from fish in retail markets in Egypt. The virulence genes of and were also studied.

Genomic traits of Aeromonas veronii isolated from slaughtered Danish broilers.

Aeromonas veronii is a Gram-negative opportunistic bacterium found in fish, poultry and humans and has occasionally been associated with disease although not generally considered a poultry pathogen. A. veronii was recently isolated from both healthy and condemned broiler carcasses at a major Danish abattoir.

Characterization of and other bacteria isolated from condemned broilers at a Danish abattoir.

Meat inspection is important to ensure food safety and protect public health. Visual inspection of slaughtered carcasses for pathological changes should be supported by bacteriological analysis to determine whether the entire carcass or parts of it should be condemned. The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial species present in different sample types from condemned broiler carcasses.

The association between meat inspection codes, footpad lesions and thinning of broiler flocks in the Danish broiler production.

The foundation of the condemnation practices in Post-Mortem Inspection (PMI) of poultry should be based on up-to-date scientific evidence about the cause of infection and hence whether the lesions observed are of food safety, animal health or welfare concerns. This study aimed to investigate the association between meat inspection codes, footpad lesions, and thinning of flocks in Danish broiler production. The data set was based on the delivery of chicken flocks to one of the two larger chicken slaughterhouses in Denmark, representing 71 farms, 174 houses, and 4,068 flocks over three years from January 2016 to December 2018.
