Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance of Isolated from Raw Cow's Milk.

is one of the most common pathogens in both humans and livestock. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of isolated from raw cow milk and evaluate its antimicrobial resistance rates. A total of 1696 milk samples were collected from Romanian dairy farms from 2018 to 2022.

Genetic Polymorphism at 15 Codons of the Prion Protein Gene in 156 Goats from Romania.

Background: The variability of prion protein gene () codons and the frequency of alleles (K222, D146, and S146) that appear to confer genetic resistance to classical scrapie are still unknown in several goat populations/breeds prevalent in Romania. This work aims to assess the genetic polymorphism at 15 codons in Romanian goat populations to inform the development of goat breeding programs for scrapie resistance.

Methods: Whole blood and hair follicles from Carpathian (50), French Alpine (53), and Banat's White (53) breed goats were sampled to extract genomic DNA for genetic analyses and Sanger sequencing.
