The Microbiological Quality of Raw Ovine Milk in the Banat Region of Romania with a Focus on and Its Pathogenic Potential and Antimicrobial Resistance.

This study investigated the bacteriological quality of raw ovine milk produced by farms located in the Banat region of Romania. Additionally, the pathogenic potential and antimicrobial resistance of the isolated strains were evaluated. A total of 95.

Surface and Mineral Changes of Primary Enamel after Laser Diode Irradiation and Application of Remineralization Agents: A Comparative In Vitro Study.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the remineralization potential of primary teeth enamel after being exposed to different laser diode therapies.

Methods: Ninety-six vestibular primary teeth enamel samples were divided into eight groups ( = 12) with varying treatments: control (G1), CPP-ACP-fluoride varnish (G2), diode lasers at 980 nm (G3), 808 nm (G4), 450 nm (G5), 980 nm + CPP-ACP-fluoride varnish (G6), 808 nm + CPP-ACP-fluoride varnish (G7), and 450 nm + CPP-ACP-fluoride varnish (G8). Each sample was assessed using a DIAGNOdent (KaVo Dental, Biberach, Germany), at baseline, post-treatment, and post-pH cycle remineralization.

First study in the frequency of isolation and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles of pig and cattle origin Campylobacter strains in Romania.

Campylobacter spp. is recognized as one of the most common pathogens involved in the development of gastrointestinal infections in humans. The current study aimed to enhance the knowledge on the occurrence and molecular characterization of Campylobacter spp.

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Bacteria Isolated from Biofilm in Meat Processing Units.

The aim of this study was to assess the hygiene of pork, beef, and poultry carcasses and to determine the phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility of the bacteria embedded in the biofilm formed on the carcasses kept in cooling chambers for at least three days. The level of hygiene was assessed by determining the total aerobic colony count (TACC) and the level in different sampling points of the carcasses, along with the detection of and spp. embedded in the biofilm.

Occurrence of Campylobacter spp. and Phenotypic Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Campylobacter jejuni in Slaughtered Broiler Chickens in North-Western Romania.

Campylobacteriosis is recognized as one of the most common food-borne zoonoses, with worldwide distribution, having undercooked poultry meat and other cross-contaminated foodstuffs as the main sources of human infections. The current study aimed to provide data on the occurrence of the thermophilic spp. in seven broiler chicken flocks, from three north-western Transylvanian counties of Romania, as well as to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of the isolated strains.

Occurrence, Pathogenic Potential and Antimicrobial Resistance of Isolated from Raw Milk Cheese Commercialized in Banat Region, Romania.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence, pathogenic potential and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of isolated from raw milk cheese, traditionally produced by farmers and marketed directly to the consumer in Banat region, Romania. A total of 81.1% (43/53) of the processed samples expressed positive results for , with a distribution of 83.

Multidrug Resistant Coagulase-Positive and Their Enterotoxins Detection in Traditional Cheeses Marketed in Banat Region, Romania.

The main objectives of the present study were to determine the occurrence of coagulase positive staphylococci (CPS) and to assess the presence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of isolates in different raw milk origin (cow and sheep) traditional cheeses marketed in Banat region, Romania. Additionally, the presence of gene in isolates and the staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) in cheese samples were evaluated. A total of 81.

Diversity and Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of Listeria monocytogenes Serogroups in Different Food Products from the Transylvania Region of Central Romania.

Abstract: This study used molecular serogrouping to assess the presence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from food products of different animal origin, collected from a county situated in the historical region of Transylvania in central Romania. Seventeen (7.7%) of 221 screened samples were positive for L.
