Enterococci, common hospital-acquired infections in immunocompromised patients, have garnered attention in clinical microbiology. To determine the clinical relevance of enterococci as food-borne pathogens, 116 fish, 90 vegetables, and 120 human diarrheal samples were tested for E. faecalis and E. faecium pathogenicity. Conventionally, 69 of 326 (21...

Background: Sudden death is defined as an unexpected death occurring with no observed antecedent clinical signs. Aim: The current study was performed to notice the tangible causes of sudden death among 51 out of 340 she-camels on a private farm in the eastern region of El Khafgi, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A retrospective cohort study design was conduc...

AB S T RA C T The adult worm Taenia hydatigena is a tapeworm with definitive hosts, such as canines. In contrast, the larval stage of T. hydatigena, known as the Cysticercus tenuicollis cyst, is found mainly in small and large ruminant animals and acts as an intermediate host. However, misdiagnosis and cross-reaction with other taeniasis species ha...

Background Helicobacter pylori is a worldwide pathogen that affects both animals and humans with a wide environmental distribution, causing serious health problems in humans. This research has timely addressed the topic of new sources of H. pylori infection, which is currently a global issue, especially in developing countries. For this purpose, 11...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection has a significant negative influence on human well-ness and the global economy. The purpose of this investigation was to identify E. coli and detect its virulence factors in dairy and meat products as well as, human diarrheal samples. A gross of 200 samples of raw milk, karish cheese, fresh me...

Background: Dogs are the most popular pet animals worldwide, and their frequent and close contact with humans poses an increased risk of zoonotic parasite transmission. Toxocara canis infection is a highly pervasive and economically significant zoonotic infection transmitted by dogs worldwide, commonly in tropical and subtropical regions, particula...

Hymenolepis nana infections are among the most important global socioeconomic and health problems worldwide notably in developing countries with hot temperature and dry climates. This study aimed to estimate the linkage between the prevalence of H. nana infection in humans at variant ages and its presence in different sources. A cross sectional stu...

This study evaluated the mutual function of chickens in the transmission of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli to patients in Aswan Governorate, Egypt. Samples from fresh chickens (no= 108) and frozen chickens (no= 100), were collected randomly from supermarkets in Aswan Province, Egypt as well as 60 diarrheal samples were assembled from h...

Background and aim: In Egypt, there is a scarcity of recent data on trichinellosis in pigs and humans. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the epidemiological profile and risk factors associated with Trichinella spiralis infection as well as to assess the effectiveness of the trichinoscope and digestion technique in diagnosing trichinellosis....

Toxoplasmosis is an important reason of reproductive failure in human and farm animals causing significant socioeconomic losses worldwide. Additionally, infection in pregnant women can cause severe health problems in the child as mental retardation and blindness. In this work the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection was estimated in dairy goats, s...

B. cereus is an opportunistic foodborne pathogen that is found in most of the cases to be responsible for food-borne outbreaks. This study aimed to detect and quantify B. cereus in dairy desserts that locally manufactured and sold in different localities in Qena city, also to take an image about the role that is may be played by these products in c...

Biofilm formation and enterotoxin production represent major virulence factors of S. epidermidis . Also, biofilm formation is greatly associated with multidrug resistance. So the objective of the present study was to expand the current knowledge regarding the importance and virulence of methicillin and vancomycin resistant S. epidermidis originated...

Objective: The aim of the present work was to investigate the mutual role that may be played by the served dairy food and food handlers in the transmission of methicillin- and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococci to patients who were hospitalized in Qena City, Egypt. Materials and Methods: A total of 210...

Aspergillosis has a significant health concern for poultry and human, it causes economic losses in poultry flocks and many pulmonary infections in human. So our study was conducted to detect the incidence of Aspergillus species in both chicks and farm workers in private poultry farm in Qena Governorate, Egypt. 29 out of 40 examined laryngeal swaps...
