Babesia microti (Apicomplexa: Piroplasmida) causes a medically important tick-borne zoonotic protozoan disease. Egyptian camels are susceptible to Babesia infection; however, just a few cases have been documented. This study aimed to identify Babesia species, specifically Babesia microti, and their genetic diversity in dromedary camels in Egypt and associated hard ticks.

This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of carbapenemase and extended-spectrum-beta-lactamases (ESBL) - producing genes in e isolated from fresh produce farms in Egypt, irrigation water, and people working in these fields.
Materials And Methods: One hundred tomatoes from typical farms were collected in plastic bags.
Cholera is a negative public health event caused by Although is abundant in natural environments, its pattern and transmission between different niches remain puzzling and interrelated. Our study aimed to investigate the occurrence of nonpathogenic in the natural environment during endemicity periods. It also aimed to highlight the role of molecular ecoepidemiology in mapping the routes of spread, transmission, and prevention of possible future cholera outbreaks.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the most severe global threats to human and veterinary Medicinstin is an effective therapeutic agent against multi-drug-resistant pathogens. However, the discovery of transferable plasmids that confer resistance to colistin ( has led to challenges in medical science. This study describes the role of wild birds in the harbouring and environmental spread of colistin-resistant bacteria, which could pose a potential hazard to human and animal health.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Aim: Salmonellosis is one of the most common foodborne bacterial diseases in the world. The great majority of infections in humans are foodborne with and Typhimurium accounting for a major part of the problem. The objective of this study was to investigate the presence of gene in strains of isolated from eggs and diarrheal swabs from human cases.
