Evaluation of Microplastics Ingested by Sea Cucumber Holothuria Scabra from Pulau Jambongan, Sabah.

Microplastics (MPs) are tiny plastic pieces having a diameter of less than 5 mm. They can arise from larger plastic debris that degrades over time, synthetic fibres from clothing, microbeads in personal care items and even larger plastic debris. Sea cucumbers are marine creatures vital to the ocean's ecosystem as they assist in maintaining a clean seabed and recycle nutrients.

Isolation and Characterization of Six Lytic Bacteriophages From Seafood Samples.

is a foodborne pathogen that is frequently isolated from a variety of seafood. To control this pathogenic spp., the implementation of bacteriophages in aquaculture and food industries have shown a promising alternative to antibiotics.

Prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of isolated from different types of seafood in Selangor, Malaysia.

is a foodborne bacterial pathogen that may cause gastroenteritis in humans through the consumption of seafood contaminated with this microorganism. The emergence of antimicrobial and multidrug-resistant bacteria is another serious public health threat worldwide. In this study, the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility test of in blood clams, shrimps, surf clams, and squids were determined.

Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance against Tetracycline in and in Cattle and Beef Meat from Selangor, Malaysia.

is a major foodborne pathogen frequently associated with human bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of spp. in the beef food system in Malaysia.

Comparison of the Microbiological Quality and Safety between Conventional and Organic Vegetables Sold in Malaysia.

Given the remarkable increase of public interest in organic food products, it is indeed critical to evaluate the microbiological risk associated with consumption of fresh organic produce. Organic farming practices including the use of animal manures may increase the risk of microbiological contamination as manure can act as a vehicle for transmission of foodborne pathogens. This study aimed to determine and compare the microbiological status between organic and conventional fresh produce at the retail level in Malaysia.
