are well known for their competence to produce thousands of bioactive secondary metabolites and enzymes. This study aimed to assess the inhibitory activities of crude extracts from diverse collected from rice soils in Narathiwat, Thailand, against foodborne bacterial pathogens. In total, 136 isolates were screened using a cross-streak method for the ability to produce effective metabolites against 5 pathogenic bacteria.

The genotype of Toxoplasma gondii has been extensively studied to determine whether its characteristics may influence the course of toxoplasmosis. Recent genotyping studies in South America have found Toxoplasma hybrid isolates or atypical strains which were more virulent and highly diverse than North American and European species. Although, the high seroprevalence of Toxoplasma infection among pregnant women and HIV-infected patients from Songklanagarind Hospital, Songkhla, Southern Thailand has been previously reported, there is no reported study of human genotyping data on T.

One of the most important routes of transmission for Toxoplasma gondii infection is the ingestion of foods contaminated with cat feces containing sporulated oocysts. The diagnosis of T. gondii infection by fecal microscopy is complicated, as other similar coccidian oocysts are often present in the same fecal specimen.
