Background: The high summer mortality in many fish farms, which had detrimental economic and social implications, was a serious challenge that the fish industry had to deal with.
Aim: With an examination of the most effective antibiotic, the ongoing research was intended to shed light on the identification of the main bacterial pathogens associated with the summer mortality syndrome in the diseased farmed Nile tilapia.
Methods: Six hundred dead Nile tilapia samples that had suffered from summer mortality were collected from several fish farms between May and October of 2022.
Background: has become one of the hazards prevalent foodborne pathogens causing different diseases in chickens. However, (ST), a nonhost-specific serovar, is a major avian agent that causes severe disturbance in young chicken wellness.
Aim: The occurrence of in chickens and their antimicrobial resistance were explored in this study.
Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is a bacterial infection caused by () that affects sheep and goats, leading to abscess formation in their lymph nodes. The present study aimed to isolate and identify from CLA in smallholder sheep and goats, and determine the resistance patterns, virulence, and resistance genes of the isolates. Additionally, genotypic and phylogenetic analysis of the isolates was conducted using ERIC-PCR and DNA sequencing techniques.

Further, the phenotypic and genotypic relationships between the community and hospital-acquired isolates in the same geographical area were investigated. From 272 total samples, 37 (13.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) STEC from cattle sources has increased public health risk and limited treatment options.

A total of 150 water samples (100 tap and 50 well) were collected from five districts in Gharbia governorate, Egypt. High rates of coliforms contamination were recorded in 52 and 76% of examined tap and well water samples, respectively.

The aim of this study was to determine the extent of genotypic diversity among isolates recovered from avian and human sources in Egypt. Furthermore, the short variable region (SVR) of flagellin A () gene was analysed for the presence of allelic variants.
