Controlling Multi-Drug-Resistant Traits of Obtained from Retail Poultry Shops Using Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) as a Novel Technique.

spp. is considered one of the most important causes of food-borne illness globally. Poultry and its products are usually incriminated in its spread.

Antimicrobial properties of promising Zn-Fe based layered double hydroxides for the disinfection of real dairy wastewater effluents.

Bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics is a serious challenge that requires novel antibacterial agents. Moreover, wastewater from dairy farms might contain countless number of pathogens, organic contaminants and heavy metals that consider a threat to the terrestrial and aquatic environment. Therefore, the development of cost-effective, highly operation-convenient, recyclable multifunctional antimicrobial agents became an urgent necessity.

Assessment of the efficacy of thymol against in experimentally infected rats.

The effect of thymol and ivermectin on the development and embryonation of () eggs, as well as their migration in albino rats was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. A total of forty male albino rats were divided into four groups for an in vivo experiment. The first group was uninfected; the second group was infected but left untreated; the third group was infected and received thymol at a dose of 40 mg/kg; and the fourth group was infected and received ivermectin (0.

The prevalence of Campylobacter species in broiler flocks and their environment: assessing the efficiency of chitosan/zinc oxide nanocomposite for adopting control strategy.

There is a growing trend to implement biosecurity measures in small commercial broiler flocks and trying to replace ineffective antimicrobial with alternative materials to interevent a strategy for the control of Campylobacter bacteria in these farms. This study was designed to determine the prevalence rate of Campylobacter spp. in broiler flocks and their environment.

Novel approach for controlling resistant Listeria monocytogenes to antimicrobials using different disinfectants types loaded on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).

A combined use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with different types of disinfectants as antimicrobial might be useful in mitigating the problem of development of bacterial resistance with a strong enhancement of the biocidal effect of disinfectants. To evaluate the biocidal activity of silver nanoparticles and its loaded forms, five commercial disinfectants (quaternary ammonium compounds (benzalkonium chloride (BC) and TH), Virkon®S, sodium hypochlorite, and hydrogen peroxide (HO)) were used against Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) isolates at different concentrations and exposure times to reveal intra-species variability and the percentage of resistance to antimicrobial agents used.

Serum vitamin B(12) concentrations among mothers and newborns and follow-up study to assess implication on the growth velocity and the urinary methylmalonic acid excretion.

Objective: Cobalamin (B(12)) deficiency has been reported in infants born to mothers with low cobalamin intake. Early diagnosis of vitamin B(12) deficiency in infants is critical for the prevention of neurobehavioral disorders. We investigated the relationship between serum vitamin B(12) level in newborns and in their healthy mothers who consumed an omnivorous diet.

Evaluation of vitamin B12 status in Egypt IV: food consumption patterns among lactating mothers and their impact on the intake of the vitamin.

The adequacy of vitamin B12 intake was assessed among 62 lactating mothers in the 2-32 weeks of lactation by an interactive 24-h recall and an open-ended food frequency questionnaire. Double portions of the foods consumed were sampled and assayed microbiologically for its vitamin B12 content. Based on the food item and its respective vitamin B12 content, combined with the usual portion size in grams and the frequency of consumption, a rapid calculator of approximate dietary vitamin B12 intake was developed.
