        1 - Study of Listeria monocytogenes strains’ prevalence in some local fish market of Shahr-e Kord, Iran

        Contamination of seafood products to pathoges like Listeria is a for consumers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the field prevalence and typing of Listeria monocytogenes in the local fish market of Shahr-e Kord, Iran. Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated Listeria was also carried out by the antibiotic disc diffusion method using 13 different antibiotics. A total of 100 rainbow trout were randomly collected from retail market in Shahr-e Kord for examination of the prevalence and typing of Listeria species using biochemical methods. Four isolates of Listeria were identified; One isolate of L. inovaii and 3 islolates of L. monocytogenes. All four isolates showed the highest antibiotic sensitivity (100 % susceptibility) to five antibiotics including cotrimoxazole, tetracycline, gentamicin, erythromosine, and vancomycin. However, all strains showed resistance to oxacillin. As L. monocytogenesis is of the most important pathogens in humans, fish contamination to different species of Listeria could be a potential risk and requires more attention. Manuscript profile

        2 - Prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Yersinia enterocolitica in broiler meat and edible offal at Ardabil retails

        Yersinia enterocolitica is one of the most important food-borne bacteria and it can cause yersiniosis. This study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of Y. enterocolitica in poultry meat and offal marketed in Ardabil, as well as to assess the antibiotic resistance pattern of the isolates. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, a total of 344 samples including 264 poultry meat and 80 offal samples were randomly obtained during the spring and summer of 2016. The samples were investigated for the presence of Y. enterocolitica using Iranian National Standard. Moreover, antibiotic susceptibility was examined by Kerby-Bauer method. Based on results, 22.34% of the poultry meat samples and 37.5% of the offals were contaminated with Y. enterocolitica. Antibiogram results revealed that 84.74% of the isolates were resistant to Ampicillin; in the cases of Cephalothin and Cephalexin, it was estimated at 69.49% and 64.4% of the isolates, respectively. However, resistance was observed for Chloramphenicol and Syprufluxasine. Regarding the high occurrence Y. enterocolitica in chicken meat and offal and the presence of antibiotic-resistant strains of this bacterium, the implementation of hygienic measures to reduce the occurrence of Y. enterocolitica in chicken meat and the prudent use of antibiotics in the poultry industry to prevent the spread of strains resistant to antibiotics and transferring them to the human food chain is essential.

        Contamination of milk and its products with pathogenic organisms such as Listeria could be considered as a health threat for the consumers. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and diversity of Listeia spp. in traditional cheeses of Tabriz area and to assess antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation and thermal-resistance of the isolates. A total number of 100 traditional cheese was collected randomly. Listeria spp. were isolated and identified using conventional culture methods. According to the results, 12 out of 100 cheese samples were found positive for Listeria spp. Amongst, 5 and 7 isolates were identified as monocytogens and ivanovii, respectively. The highest rate of resistance was observed for oxacillin (100%) and nalidixic acid (75%), and the highest rate (100%) of sensitivity was related to cotrimoxazole, tetracycline, gentamicin, erythromycin and vancomycin. Results of biofilm assay reveled that all 5 strains of L. monocytogens produced low amount of biofilm, meanwhile strains of L. ivanovii produced a range (weak, moderate and high) of biofilm level. Based on thermal-resistance outcomes, thermalisation process had insignificant impact on Listeria strains; whereas application of “rapid pasteurization” process for 5 sec, reduced the populations of both Listeia specis to below the detectable limit (P <0.01). In the case of batch pasteurization, two Listeria species demonstrated significant (P <0.01) degree of resitsnce. Since L. monocytogenes, and in a lesser extent L. ivanivi are human pathogens of concern, it was concluded that traditional cheeses of Tabriz area could pose a health hazard dealing with Listeria.

        Background and Objective: Diarrhea in newborn calves caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K99 is one of the important problems is the animal industrial husbandry. In this study we try to find the frequency of E. coli k99 in diarrheal newborn calf, and also determine antibiotic susceptibility of isolates. Material and Methods: 312 rectal swabs of diarrheal calves were obtained in various parts of Fars province. The samples were investigated using biochemical test. All E. coli isolates tested for antibiotic susceptibility using disc diffusion method. Results: of 312 samples, 298 E. coli isolates were obtained, from which the slide agglutination method 13 isolates were identified Escherichia coli k99. These isolates were susceptible to enrofloxacin, nalidixic acid and flomocuen antibiotics. Also, there is some wide range of antibiotics resistance to in Escherichia coli k99. Conclusion: The prevalence of Escherichia coli k99 with diarrhea in calves was 4 / 3% in Fars province which compared to other reports ranking in the lower range. Manuscript profile
