Serbia is country with a high prevalence of Trichinella infection in pigs, which continues to be a serious human health problem. In Serbia, only a few isolates of Trichinella found in pork have been genetically specified to date, and all were proven as T. spiralis. New data shows that in the sylvatic cycle in Serbia, at least in the Belgrade district, more than one Trichinella species co-exist (T. spiralis and T. britovi). Increased awareness of the possible overlap among sylvatic and domestic Trichinella cycles indicates the need for continuous monitoring of Trichinella species circulation and strongly points to the need that all isolates of Trichinella found in meat for human consumption should be subject to a determination of the Trichinella species (due to the risk of transmission of infection with T. britovi to domestic pigs and humans). This is why we examined using PCR the Trichinella larvae found in pig meat that caused a human outbreak (Trichinella infection) in Grocka (Belgrade district) during February 2011. The isolated larvae belonged to T. spiralis.

The results of histochemical analysis of three muscles m. triceps brachii (MTB), m. longissimus thoracicus (MLT) and m. rectus femoris (MRF) of two groups of pigs created according to the genotypes MYF 4 are presented. Determination of MYF 4 genotypes was made by PCR method and for histochemical analysis was used 5 animals detected as homozygote MYF 4- AA type and 5 animals of heterozygote genotype myogenin-AB out of the total of 25 individual animals tested. The histochemical analysis proved that homozygotes AA have had bigger fat cells than heterozygotes AB in three studied muscles in average. The size of fat cells in MLT - 41.10?m or 38.50 ?m respectively dominated in both groups of animals. Percentage surface representation of interstitial tissues was higher in the studied muscles of heterozygote MYF 4-AB. The volume of ligaments was the highest in MRF (3.80% or 3.90% respectively) in both groups (myogenin - AA and AB). The average thickness was of three studied muscles muscle fibres higher at homozygote genotype myogenin-AA than in heterozygote myogenin-AB. The thickest fibres in both genotypes were in MRF (88.60 ?m, and 84.72 ?m respectively) and the lowest in MTB (73.30 and 69.40 ?m respectively). The highest values of muscle fibres thickness were detected in ?-White fibres. Their percentage surface representation corresponded to this in all three types of muscles of both studied genotype myogenin groups.

Listeria monocytogenes represents serious danger for human health. Thus detection of this pathogen in food, which represents its main means of entry into the organism, is a topic of special importance. The original classic methods for the determination of Listeria monocytogenes are in general laborious and time-consuming procedures. In order to address this issue we developed a new rapid method for specific detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food samples. The method consists of three steps: i) enrichment of food microflora (16 h), ii) selective isolation of Listeria sp. exploiting immunomagnetic separation (2–3 h) followed by iii) precise identification of Listeria sp. and Listeria monocytogenes using duplex PCR. PCR primers specific to part of 16S rRNA were used in order to identify the members of Listeria genus. The specific identification of Listeria monocytogenes was accomplished exploiting a pair of primers specific to gene encoding invasion-associated protein – iap (4–5 h). Amplification products, 1003 bp and 593 bp respectively, were separated by electrophoresis and visualized by UV detection. The optimized IMS-PCR method was used to test the presence of Listeria sp. and Listeria monocytogenes in food samples (ground meat, low-fat milk and cheese [olomoucké tvarůžky]). A comparison of the efficiency of the bacteria enrichment step by IMS and centrifugation was also performed. The analysis time including enrichment is less than 24 h. The detection limit for Listeria monocytogenes was found between 101–102 cfu per 25 g of food sample.

The aim of this study was to compare the phenotypic and genotypic based methods for species identification of thermotolerant campylobacters of human and food origin from the Czech Republic. Phenotypic methods are time-consuming and sometimes lead to intermediate results, therefore replacement by more specific and rapid methods are needed. Out of a total of 911 campylobacter strains tested, 800 human isolates were received from the clinical bacteriology laboratories from 5 regions and 111 foodstuff isolates (raw chicken and pork meat from retail market) originated from the routine examination in our laboratory. Based on the PCR method 85.1% of these strains were identified as C. jejuni, 12.5% as C. coli and 2.3% as mixed cultures of C. jejuni and C. coli. When species determination of campylobacters was based on conventional methods (hippurate hydrolysis test), 28.5% of the isolates were not identified correctly. The mixed cultures of campylobacters have not been detected without further subculturing of strains, which takes several days and enormously extends the identification process. The use of the PCR method showed to be a useful tool for species identification of Campylobacter spp.

Salmonella species are gram negative bacteria and members of Enterobacteriaceae family. It has a rod-shaped appearance; it is catalase positive, oxidase negative, non-spore. Salmonella classified into two species, Salmonella Enterica and Salmonella Bangori. Salmonella is now one of the main reasons of diarrhea and vomiting in humans in many countries and especially in industrialized. In a study in Japan 164 Salmonella digestions were collected during 2006 to 2008 which 81 digestions were Salmonella Infantis. Salmonella-specific characteristics are studied in the two phenotype and genotype methods. In this research, with using genotype methods based on PCR, genetic diversity was evaluated; this PCR includes rep-PCR based on repetitive sequence elements (method was done by the use of three primers ERIC, REP and BOX). Studied showed most isolated strains were relevant to Salmonella Enteritidis and dendorogram study showed that the bacteria were grouped in one cluster in dendrogram that all 37 strains were put in a large cluster of Salmonella’s type which is divided into two clusters: Salmonella Enterica and Bongori. The results also in this experiment reflect the efficiency of rep-PCR method by using three ERIC, REP and BOX primers.

Phenotype determination of sex in young canaries is very low in accuracy. This study aimed to develop a genotypic sexing method in canaries. This study used 12 canaries consisting of 3 mature males, 3 mature females and 6 one-month-old canaries. Phenotypic sexing by cloacal observation was done on all birds, continued by genotypic sexing to identification CHD1 gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR used blood samples for mature canaries, and feather for mature and one-month-old canaries. The results of phenotypic observations showed that all mature male canaries had prominent and pointed cloaca forms, all mature females had flat and wide, whereas all one-month-old birds had a flat cloaca. The result of PCR showed a single band (500 bp) for mature male and double bands (500 bp and 300 bp) for mature female canaries. The PCR results of one-month-old canaries showed that there were one male and five females. Based on this study, it was concluded that genotypic sexing using the PCR method is effective in the sex determination of canaries.Keywords: canary, CHD1, genotype, PCR, sexing ABSTRAKPenentuan jenis kelamin burung kenari muda secara fenotip akurasinya sangat rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan jenis kelamin burung kenari secara genotip.
