is a significant zoonotic pathogen, capable of causing severe illnesses such as septicemia and meningitis in both swine and humans. Its transmission through pork consumption necessitates effective food safety measures. Lime juice, known for its antimicrobial properties, presents a potential alternative to reduce contamination in pork products.

The objective of the current study was to quantify carbonized leonardite (cLND) adsorption capabilities to remove sulfamethoxazole (SMX)- and enrofloxacin (ENR)-contaminated water and to determine the microbial activity of ENR residuals on cLND following adsorption. The cLND samples prepared at 450 °C and 850 °C (cLND450 and cLND550, respectively) were evaluated for structural and physical characteristics and adsorption capabilities based on adsorption kinetics and isotherm studies.

Thus, in this study, we aimed to examine the potential antibacterial activity of the leaf extract of against MRS isolated from clinically healthy dogs. In total, seven -positive isolates tested in this study were identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and all of them were classified as multidrug-resistant using disk diffusion tests.

Commercial vaccines have limited effectiveness against different genogroups of PEDV and the shedding of virus. The C-terminal of the S1 domain and the N-terminal of the S2 domain (S1-2) protein of the spike (S) protein have four neutralizing epitopes.

Vaccination effectively prevents CPV infection. However, the currently available CPV vaccines have concerns such as maternal immunity interference, shedding of virus vaccine, and false-positive result based on polymerase chain reaction after vaccination.

Materials And Methods: Intestinal samples from fish fed with control normal diet or LGG-mixed feed (10 colony-forming unit [CFU]/g feed) with or without in phosphate-buffered saline challenge (7.46 × 10 CFU/mL/fish) were collected and processed for histopathological study.
