Introduction: The poultry sector in Côte d`Ivoire is expanding and generating huge quantities of waste. This study aimed to analyze the risks associated with the discharge of poultry slaughterhouse waste in public landfill sites in Abidjan.
Methodology: The chemical and microbiological analysis of 30 poultry slaughter waste samples from 10 Abidjan communities were evaluated using high performance liquid chromatography and detection of pathogenic bacteria on specific media, respectively. The antibiotic susceptibility of isolates was determined using the agar diffusion method.
Results: A total of 4 antibiotic molecules - sulfamethoxazole, oxytetracyclin, ciprofloxacin, and erythromycin - were detected in analyzed samples with levels ranging from 1500 ± 22 to 16200 ± 129 µg/kg. Moreover, 270 bacterial strains including 71 Salmonella, 109 Escherichia. coli, and 90 Staphylococcus aureus were isolated. Among E. coli isolates, 16.5% and 19.3% were identified as enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) respectively. Among the Salmonella strains, 45% were positive for the virulence gene inva. The levels of antibiotic resistance were between 12 and 67%, with high level of resistance observed for imipenem in E. coli, and for amoxicillin/clavulanic and ampicillin in Salmonella strains. The highest rates of resistance in S. aureus were for fluoroquinolones (23.0-45.0%), fusidic acid (42.2%), and sulphonamides (77.8%). Moreover, multidrug resistance to 3, 4, and 5 antibiotic families was detected in 14.8%, 10%, and 2.2% of the 270 tested strains, respectively.
Conclusions: These results indicate the necessity of managing this waste to reduce its negative effect on the environment and public health.

Background: The emergence of OXA-type beta-lactamases has become a significant threat to public healthcare systems and may lead to prolonged hospital stays and increased mortality rates among affected patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of oxacillinase resistance (OXA) genes in multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria.
Methods: One hundred and six clinical isolates were collected from a stock of Gram-negative isolates and were identified and tested for antibiotic susceptibility and presence of OXA genes using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Background: Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) show high therapeutic potential. SeNPs obtained by green synthesis methods, using commonly available plants, are an attractive alternative to nanoparticles obtained by classical, chemical methods. The green synthesis process uses environmentally friendly reagents, which offer an eco-friendly advantage.

Introduction: Nus-dependent Mexican phages (mEp) were previously isolated from clinical samples of human feces. Approximately 50% corresponded to non-lambdoid temperate phages integrating a single immunity group, namely immunity I (mEp), and these were as prevalent as the lambdoid phages identified in such collection.
Methods: In this work, we present the structural and functional characterization of six representative mEp phages (mEp010, mEp013, mEp021, mEp044, mEp515, and mEp554).

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) affect up to 15-25% of patients suffering from diabetes and are considered a global health concern. These ulcers may result in delayed wound healing and chronic infections, with the potential to lead to amputations. It has been estimated that 85% of diabetes-related amputations are preceded by a diagnosis of DFU.

Background: (APV1), the causal agent of betel palm yellow leaf disease (YLD), has caused significant yield losses and decreased product quality of betel nuts, posing a serious economic threat to local farmers. There is an urgent need for a convenient and reliable method for the rapid detection and surveillance of APV1.
Methods: The Capsid protein (CP) of APV1 was expressed in and purified as antigen to immunize BALB/c mice.
