Identification of Serogroups and Distinction Between Typhoidal and Non-Typhoidal Based on ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy.

Salmonellosis is the second-most commonly reported foodborne gastrointestinal infection in the European Union and a major contributor to foodborne outbreaks globally. serotyping differentiates typhoidal strains requiring antibiotic therapy (e.g.

Monophasic variant of Typhimurium 4,[5],12:i:- outbreak: an investigation by the Competent Authority.

Foodborne diseases represent a significant public health issue, regarding both collective health and the economy, with implications for healthcare costs and agribusiness. This paper shows the description and results of the investigation of a subsp foodborne outbreak that occurred in the Marche Region (Italy) in 2022, which was linked to the consumption of a roasted pork product (). As part of the outbreak investigations discussed in this article, molecular analysis to evaluate the genomic correlation between clinical, food, and environmental origin strains was carried out.

Antibiotic resistance, plasmids, and virulence-associated markers in human strains of and isolated in Italy.

Campylobacteriosis, a prevalent foodborne gastrointestinal infection in Europe, is primarily caused by and , with rising global concerns over antimicrobial resistance in these species. This study comprehensively investigates 133 human-origin spp. strains (102 and 31 ) collected in Italy from 2013 to 2021.

From farm to fork: Spread of a multidrug resistant Salmonella Infantis clone encoding bla on pESI-like plasmids in Central Italy.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis (S. Infantis) is one of the "top five Salmonella serovars" of clinical significance in the European Union (EU).

Monophasic Variant of Typhimurium 4,[5],12:i:- (ACSSuGmTmpSxt Type) Outbreak in Central Italy Linked to the Consumption of a Roasted Pork Product (Porchetta).

The monophasic variant of . Typhimurium 4,[5],12:i:- (MVST) is the third most commonly reported serovar involved in human infections (8.8%) in the EU and ranks after .

Endoparasites in dogs diagnosed at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH)-University of Bologna, combined with clinicopathological results. A long-term retrospective secondary data study.

Humans and dogs commonly share the same domestic environment. Europe, and Italy specifically, have a substantial and growing dog population. Potentially zoonotic parasites may be harbored even by dogs receiving regular veterinary care.

Widespread Multidrug Resistance of Isolated from Clinical and Food Sources in Central Italy.

The genus comprises a group of bacteria widely distributed in different habitats that can be spread throughout the food chain. Fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides represent the most common antimicrobial agents used for the treatment of infections. However, the increasing trend of the antimicrobial resistance of this pathogen leads to treatment failures.

Prevalence, Antibiotic-Resistance, and Replicon-Typing of Strains among Serovars Mainly Isolated from Food Chain in Marche Region, Italy.

Nontyphoidal salmonellosis (NTS) is the second most commonly reported gastrointestinal infection in humans and an important cause of food-borne outbreaks in Europe. The use of antimicrobial agents for animals, plants, and food production contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains that are transmissible to humans through food. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and the potential dissemination of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains isolated in the Marche Region (Central Italy) via the food chain.

A novel intermediate host for (Gervais, 1847): The European roe deer ( L. 1758) from the Monti Sibillini National Park (MSNP), Italy.

Taeniids are multi-host parasites with an indirect life cycle that strictly depends on a predator-prey relationship. Parasites with a complex life cycle may exhibit different degrees of host-specificity at each life stage. Knowing the host breadth is a fundamental concept of the biology and epidemiology of these multi-host parasites.

A Strong Evidence Outbreak of Enteritidis in Central Italy Linked to the Consumption of Contaminated Raw Sheep Milk Cheese.

Salmonellosis is the second most commonly reported gastrointestinal infection in humans after campylobacteriosis, and an important cause of foodborne outbreaks in the EU/EEA. The vast majority (72.4%) of the salmonellosis foodborne outbreaks reported in EU in 2019 were caused by Enteritidis, even if their total number due to this serovar decreased.

Feedborne Serovar Jerusalem Outbreak in Different Organic Poultry Flocks in Switzerland and Italy Linked to Soya Expeller.

Poultry feed is a leading source of infection in poultry. In Switzerland, heat-treated feed is used to reduce incursions into flocks in conventional poultry production. By contrast, organic feed is only treated with organic acids.

Health assessment of wild speckled dwarf tortoises, CHERSOBIUS SIGNATUS.

Background: In free-ranging reptile populations, bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic pathogens may affect hosts through impairment in movements, thermoregulation, reproduction, survival, and population dynamics. The speckled dwarf tortoise (Chersobius [Homopus] signatus) is a threatened species that is mostly restricted to the Succulent Karoo biome in South Africa, and little information on pathogens of this species is available yet. We derived baseline parameters for five males and five females that were captured to genetically enhance a conservation breeding program in Europe.

Antibiotic resistance pattern and virulence genesin avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) from different breeding systems.

Colibacillosis is the most frequent bacterial disease in avian species and antimicrobials are the main weapon to reduce incidence and mortality associated to it. However, indiscriminate use of antibiotics may lead to therapy failure and economic losses for the breeder. The aims of this study were to, determine the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolates, evaluate the correlation between E.

Molecular characterization and drug susceptibility of non-O1/O139 V. cholerae strains of seafood, environmental and clinical origin, Italy.

Toxigenic and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and genetic relatedness of 42 non-O1/O139 V. cholerae strains, the majority of them isolated from seafood and marine water of the Adriatic sea, Italy, and 9 clinical strains, two of which with seawater of the Adriatic as the source of infection, were studied. All strains had hlyA El Tor gene but lacked ctxA gene.
