Molecular Detection of Shiga Toxin-Producing O177 Isolates, Their Antibiotic Resistance, and Virulence Profiles From Broiler Chickens.

The World Health Organization (WHO) describes Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) as a bacterium that can cause severe food-borne diseases. Common sources of infection include undercooked meat products and faecal contamination in vegetables. This study aimed to isolate, identify and assess the virulence and antibiotic resistance profiles of STEC isolates from broiler chicken faeces.

Antibiotic resistance and virulence profiles of Proteus mirabilis isolated from broiler chickens at abattoir in South Africa.

Background: Proteus mirabilis has been identified as an important zoonotic pathogen, causing several illnesses such as diarrhoea, keratitis and urinary tract infections.

Objective: This study assessed the prevalence of P. mirabilis in broiler chickens, its antibiotic resistance (AR) patterns, ESBL-producing P.

from Slaughter Age Broiler Chickens: Genetic Characterization, Virulence, and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes.

is a major cause of food-borne human gastroenteritis worldwide and is designated as a high priority antimicrobial-resistant pathogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). In this study, a total of 26 isolates from broiler chickens were screened for the presence of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes by PCR. As a result, the study detected 11/26 (42.

Molecular Detection of Integrons, Colistin and Resistant Genes in Serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium Isolated from Chickens and Rats Inhabiting Poultry Farms.

The rapid growth of multidrug-resistant is a global public health concern. The aim of this study was to detect integrons, colistin and resistance genes in and . A total of 63 isolates of ( = 18) and ( = 45) from fecal samples of layers and rats at chicken farms were screened for antibiotic resistant genes.

Isolation and antibiotic sensitivity of species from fecal samples of broiler chickens in North West Province, South Africa.

Background And Aim: Infections with species have gained recognition as the most frequent cause of foodborne gastroenteritis globally. Their significance in South Africa is still an area of study interest. This study was, therefore, carried out to determine the occurrence of species in chickens from North West Province of South Africa as well as their antibiotic sensitivity status.
