SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence determination in pets and camels in Egypt using multispecies enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has translated into a worldwide economic recession and public health crisis. Bats have been incriminated as the main natural host for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the reservoir and carrier hosts of the virus remain unknown.

Retail chicken giblets contaminated with extended-spectrum cephalosporin- and carbapenem-resistant carrying CMY-2.

Background And Aim: Chickens are considered as the main source of , with infection potentially spreading to the public through outlets. The study aimed to investigate poultry shops for resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins-resistant (ESCR) and carbapenems-resistant (CR).

Materials And Methods: Samples were collected from chicken giblets, water tanks, and workers at retail shops.

Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the gene of species isolated from different environmental sources at Lake Qarun protectorate: The role of migratory birds and public health importance.

Background And Aim: causes most foodborne bacterial illnesses worldwide. It is found in various hosts, including pets, farm animals, and wild animals, as well as the environment. This study aimed to examine the epidemiological relationship between isolates from aquatic environments and those from other avian hosts.

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Salmonella serovars among healthy and diseased chickens and their public health implication.

Objectives: This study investigated the occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Salmonella and the associated virulence genes among farmed chickens.

Methods: Cloacal swab samples were collected from apparently healthy and diseased chickens and were cultured for Salmonella using conventional methods. The isolates were serotyped using slide agglutination tests and were examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the virulence genes invA, stn, svpC and pefA and the outer membrane protein-encoding genes ompA and ompF.
