Listeriosis is one of the most common foodborne diseases caused by (). A poor prognosis has been recorded for the invasive listeriosis, especially neurolisteriosis. In several countries throughout the world, foodborne infections with exceeded the legal safety limits in animal sourced foods.

The disease is caused by and infrequently by other pathogenic mycobacteria. The problem of bovine tuberculosis is complicated when the infection is associated with multidrug and extensively drug resistant Many techniques are used for early diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis, either being antemortem or postmortem, each with its diagnostic merits as well as limitations.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the frequency ofC.
Article Synopsis
- * Among 3,471 animals examined, 129 (3.71%) were found to have CLA, with a 45.74% isolation rate of the pathogen from sheep abscesses, and 48.83% of samples tested positive for the phospholipase D (PLD) gene using PCR.
- * This study represents the first phylogenetic analysis of the CLA isolate in Egypt, showing high nucleotide sequence identity with isolates from other regions, suggesting
Bovine tuberculosis is a transboundary disease of high economic and public health burden worldwide. In this study, post-mortem examination of 750 cattle and buffalo in Tanta abattoir, Centre of the Nile Delta, revealed visible TB in 4% of animals and a true prevalence of 6.85% (95% CI: 5.

- * A total of 345 samples were analyzed, revealing a 32.8% MDR rate among the isolates, with significant genetic similarities found between human and chicken strains.
- * Natural compounds eugenol and beta-resorcylic acid showed potential to reduce the virulence of these MDR strains in chickens, suggesting an alternative approach to combatting human campylobacteriosis.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the prevalence rates of infection in camel sera collected before slaughter and gross lesion tissue collected postmortem (PM) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), bacteriological culture, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition, serum samples from humans who had occupational contact with camels were tested by ELISA and sputum sample by culture.
Materials And Methods: ELISA was performed on serum samples antemortem.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic relatedness and patterns of antimicrobial resistance amongst L. monocytogenes isolated from raw milk, milking equipment, and hand swabs from workers in dairy farms.
Methods: A total of 300 samples of raw milk, milking equipment, and hand swabs were collected from four dairy farms to examine the presence of Listeria species.
