Background: is incriminated in septicemia, significant economic losses in the poultry production sector, and severe respiratory infections in humans. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence, L sequencing, antimicrobial resistance patterns, virulence-determinant, Quorum sensing, and antibiotic resistance genes of retrieved from broiler chickens.

Methods: Two hundred samples were collected from 120 broiler chickens from broiler farms at Ismailia Governorate, Egypt.

is associated with substantial economic losses in the fish industry and with food-borne illness in humans. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, antibiogram profiles, sequence analysis, virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes, and pathogenicity of recovered from . A total of 80 fish were randomly gathered from various private farms in Suez Province, Egypt.

Background: is incriminated frequently in severe economic losses and mortalities in the poultry industry. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of in layer chickens, sequence analysis, the antibiogram profiles, and PCR screening of virulence determinants and antibiotic resistance genes.

Methods: Accordingly, 300 samples (tracheal swabs, ovary and oviduct, and lung) were randomly collected from 100 diseased layer chickens from private commercial layer farms at Elsharkia Governorate, Egypt.

Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) is incriminated in severe hemorrhagic enteritis in dogs, which is considered a veterinary and public health alarm. To investigate the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance patterns, virulence determinants, and distribution of antimicrobial resistance genes in STEC strains isolated from dogs: 80 fecal samples were obtained from diseased dogs suffering from hemorrhagic diarrhea from pet animal clinics in Ismailia governorate, Egypt. The obtained samples were examined bacteriologically.

Background: Avian tuberculosis is a chronic and zoonotic disease that affects a wide variety of birds, mammals, and humans. This study aimed to estimate the frequency of Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium in some domestic birds based on molecular diagnosis, antibiogram profile, and PCR-based detection of inhA, rpoB, rpsL, and otrB antibiotic resistance-related genes.

Article Synopsis
  • Proteus mirabilis is a prevalent opportunistic pathogen found in ducks, with a prevalence rate of 14.6% in a study that analyzed 240 samples.
  • The majority of the isolates (94.3%) were capable of forming biofilms and displayed significant antibiotic resistance across multiple classes, including penicillins and macrolides.
  • Notably, the study identified strains of P. mirabilis that were multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR), with some exhibiting resistance to all tested antibiotics, thus highlighting a concerning trend in antimicrobial resistance in this population.
