Presence of zoonotic black-pigmented periodontal pathogens in the oral microbiota of pet and stray cats.

Black-pigmented bacteria are one of the neglected species to cause periodontal disease in cats, and they are also zoonotic agents that pose an infection risk to humans. In this study, we aimed to determine the presence of , and in the oral microbiota of pet and stray cats. Dental swab samples were taken from 25 pet cats and 25 stray cats with symptoms of periodontal disease and then investigated by multiplex polymerase chain reaction using 16S rRNA species-specific primers.

Evaluation of species isolated from subclinical sheep mastitis by molecular methods and determination of virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance genes.

() species are important pathogens that cause mastitis in sheep. The study aimed to examine species in sheep milk with subclinical mastitis, assessing their prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence genes. A total of 200 milk samples were collected from sheep farms in İzmir's five districts.

Detection of the Microbial Composition of Some Commercial Fermented Liquid Products via Metagenomic Analysis.

The fermented liquid sector is developing all over the world due to its contribution to health. Our study has contributed to the debate about whether industrially manufactured fermented liquids live up to their claims by analyzing pathogens and beneficial bacteria using a 16S rRNA sequencing technique called metagenomic analysis. , , , , , and were the most abundant bacterial genera observed as potential probiotics.

Molecular detection of feline and canine periodontal pathogens.

Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease of cats and dogs which are strongly associated with periodontal pathogens. The primary etiologic factor in the formation of periodontal disease is microbial dental plaque accumulation on teeth. In our research, we aimed to investigate the presence of periodontal disease-related bacterial species in dental plaques of cats and dogs.

Comparison of in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility in Flavobacterium psychrophilum isolated from rainbow trout fry.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the presence of Flavobacterium psychrophilum in the west Aegean region of Turkey and to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of F. psychrophilum (isolated from the fry of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss) to seven antimicrobial agents, as determined by the disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. A total of 250 rainbow trout fry (weight = 2-5 g; total length = 3-6 cm) were examined, and 20 bacterial isolates were phenotypically identified.
