Antimicrobial susceptibility rates in gram-positive catalase-negative cocci from sheep and goat genital microbiota.

Gram-positive catalase-negative cocci (GPCNCs) are significant components of the genital microbiota in sheep and goats. However, characterizing them can be difficult due to overlapping culture features and the limited information on their susceptibility to antibiotics. In this study, 97 foreskin and 13 vaginal swabs were investigated using a culturomic approach.

West Nile Virus Infection in Occupational Settings-A Systematic Review.

Background: West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging mosquito-borne neurotropic virus, belonging to the family and the genus. The effective control of WNV requires a targeted preventive strategy that also needs the identification of the higher-risk populations. Hence, this study focused on a systematic literature review of WNV-acquired infection in work-related settings and the assessment of the exposure risks among different occupational categories.

Pilot Study on the Action of Essential Oil in Treating the Most Common Bacterial Contaminants and subsp. Serovar Derby in Poultry Litter.

The indiscriminate use of antimicrobials in poultry farms is linked to the increase in multi-resistant bacteria. Accordingly, based on the antimicrobial properties of Thyme Essential Oil (TEO), the present study evaluated the effects of TEO on the reduction of common microbial contaminants and on poultry litter. A litter bulk sample was collected in a broiler farm and qualitative/quantitative investigations identified and The experimental contamination with Derby wild strain was also performed.

Feline Panleukopenia Virus in Dogs from Italy and Egypt.

Canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) are variants of Carnivore protoparvovirus 1. We identified and characterized FPV in dogs from Italy and Egypt using genomic sequencing and phylogenetic analyses. Cost-effective sequencing strategies should be used to monitor interspecies spread, evolution dynamics, and potential host jumping of FPV.

Molecular characterization of circulating in domestic carnivores in Egypt.

Canine parvovirus (CPV) and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), now included in the unique species (CPPV1), have been circulating in dogs and cats for several decades and are considered the causes of clinically important diseases, especially in young animals. While genetic evidence of the circulation of parvoviruses in Egyptian domestic carnivores has been provided since 2016, to date, all available data are based on partial fragments of the VP2 gene. This study reports the molecular characterization of CPPV strains from Egypt based on the full VP2 gene.

Antifungal, Antioxidant and Antibiofilm Activities of Essential Oils of spp.

Essential oils (EOs) of and are known as sources of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenoids, although their biological activities have not been well investigated. In this study, the compositions of and EOs of Egyptian origin and their antifungal and antibiofilm properties against spp. and were investigated.

Fatal Calf Pneumonia Outbreaks in Italian Dairy Herds Involving and Other Agents of BRD .

is increasingly recognized worldwide as an important cause of disease with major welfare and production impairments on cattle rearing. Although it was detected in veal calves and beef cattle, little is known on the infection impact and on its temporal morbidity pattern in Italian dairy herds. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the involvement of on fatal calf pneumonia outbreaks that occurred during 2009-2019 in 64 Italian dairy farms.

Zoonotic Bartonella species in Eurasian wolves and other free-ranging wild mammals from Italy.

Bartonellae are emerging vector-borne pathogens infecting humans, domestic mammals and wildlife. Ninety-seven red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), 8 European badgers (Meles meles), 6 Eurasian wolves (Canis lupus), 6 European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus), 3 beech martens (Martes foina) and 2 roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) from Italian Nature Conservatory Parks were investigated for Bartonella infection. Several Bartonella species (9.
