Molecular characterization of enterohemorrhagic isolated from diarrhea samples from human, livestock, and ground beef in North Jordan.

Background And Aim: Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) is an important foodborne pathogen with worldwide distribution. Data regarding its presence, distribution, virulence, and antimicrobial susceptibility among various animal species and humans in Jordan are lacking. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to isolate and characterize EHEC from human and animal diarrhea fecal samples and ground beef samples.

Molecular characterization of spp. isolates from river and dam water, irrigated vegetables, livestock, and poultry manures in Jordan.

Background And Aim: is an important food-borne and zoonotic disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to isolate, serotype, and genetically characterize spp. from Zarqa river and King Talal dam waters, vegetables irrigated by such waters, and manure of poultry and livestock farms located in the Zarqa river basin in Jordan.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from drinking water and hospitalized patients in Jordan.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an important environmental, opportunistic and nosocomial pathogen with a significant threat to public health. The objectives of this study were to determine the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of, and antibiotic drug combinations with synergistic effects against P.

and efficacy study of cefepime, doripenem, tigecycline, and tetracycline against extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in chickens.

Background And Aim: At present, there are no data about the efficacy of some recent antibiotics on in broiler chickens in the study area. This study was designed to evaluate the and efficacy of cefepime, doripenem, tigecycline, and tetracycline against multidrug-resistant-extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (MDR-ESBLs) producing in broiler chicks.

Materials And Methods: A total of 34 MDR-ESBLs isolates were used in this study.

Identification of Escherichia coli from broiler chickens in Jordan, their antimicrobial resistance, gene characterization and the associated risk factors.

Background: Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is the principle cause of colibacillosis affecting poultry. The main challenge to the poultry industry is antimicrobial resistance and the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria that threaten the safety of the food chain. Risk factors associated with emergence of antimicrobial resistance among avian pathogenic E.

An outbreak of dermatophilosis and caseous lymphadenitis mixed infection in camels (Camelus dromedaries) in Jordan.

Introduction: This study describes and reports, for the first time, an outbreak of dermatophilosis that occurred concurrently with caseous lymphadenitis involving two camel herds (Camelus dromedaries) in north Jordan.

Methodology: The affected animals were part of two herds comprising 52 Arabian camels in herd 1 and 65 camels in herd 2. The age of infected camels ranged from 18 months to 5 years.

Herd- and individual-level prevalences of and risk factors for Salmonella spp. fecal shedding in dairy farms in Al-Dhulail Valley, Jordan.

Salmonellosis is an important disease frequently associated with diarrhea in calves. From January to September 2009, a cross-sectional study involving 91 dairy farms was conducted to determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp. infection in cattle in Al-Dhulail Valley, Jordan.

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 association with a Mannheimia haemolytica infection in sheep.

This study was aimed at mapping the tissue distribution of some inflammatory parameters associated with a Mannheimia haemolytica (M. haemolytica) infection in sheep. The M.

Impact of environmental stress desiccation, acidity, alkalinity, heat or cold on antibiotic susceptibility of Cronobacter sakazakii.

Cronobacter sakazakii is an emerging foodborne pathogen that has been implicated in severe forms of meningitis, septicemia or necrotizing colitis in pre-term neonates. Although illness outbreaks (primarily associated with powdered infant formula, PIF) caused by this pathogen are rare, the case-fatality rate may reach 50%. Successful treatment of C.
