Hunting Dynamics and Identification of Potentially Pathogenic Bacteria in European Fallow Deer () across Three Hunting Reserves in Western Romania.

The study focused on the hunting practices and potentially pathogenic bacterial species among European fallow deer (. Within a five-year period, three hunting grounds from Western Romania were examined. During this period, a total of 1881 deer were hunted, and 240 samples were collected by rectal and nasal swabbing from 120 carcasses.

Occurrence of spp. in Conjunctival Samples of Stray Cats in Timișoara Municipality, Western Romania.

Despite the widespread public health concern about stray cats serving as reservoirs for zoonotic agents, little is known about the effect of urban and peri-urban landscapes on exposure risk. We conducted this study to monitor the presence of Chlamydia spp. in stray cats, with or without conjunctivitis, living in Timișoara Municipality, Western Romania, using staining and PCR methods.

The Role of Methyl-(Z)-11-tetradecenoate Acid from the Bacterial Membrane Lipid Composition in Antibiotic Resistance.

Background: The bacterial membrane plays a critical role in the survival of bacteria and the effectiveness of antimicrobial peptides in protecting the host. The lipid constituents of the bacterial membrane are not evenly distributed, and they could be affected by clustering anionic lipids with cationic peptides with multiple positive charges. That could be harmful to bacteria because it prevents lipids from interacting with other molecular components of the cell membrane, disrupts existing natural domains, or creates phase boundary defects between the clustered lipids and the bulk of the membrane.

Comparative Evaluation of , , and Genes in Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Cases, in Swine Units and a Hospital from Western Romania.

Excessive use of antimicrobials and inadequate infection control practices has turned antimicrobial resistance (AMR) into a global, public health peril. We studied the expression of , , and plasmid in ciprofloxacin (CIP)-resistant strains of in swine and humans from Romania, using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) for human subjects (H) on 147 samples and 53 swine (S) was ascertained as well as the isolation of bacterial DNA () as follows: bacteriolysis, DNA-binding, rinsing, elution, amplification, and nucleic acids' migration and U.

spp. in Romanian Slaughtered Cattle: Molecular Characterization and Epidemiological Significance of the Findings.

Species of the genus are recognized as protozoan parasites infecting a wide range of animals, including humans. This study aimed to provide data on the occurrence, genetic characterization, and epidemiological significance of spp. in cattle destined for human consumption in Romania.
