Abstract There is a paucity of research conducted on microbial prevalence in pheasants. The microbiota of captive birds has zoonotic significance and must be characterize. Present study is therefore planned to assess the microbiota from oral, fecal and gut content of captive avian species. It will be helpful in characterization of harmful microbes. Different samples taken from oral, gut and feces of ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus), green pheasants (Phasianus versicolor), golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) and silver pheasant (Lophura nycthemera). Samples were collected, diluted, and inoculated onto different agar plates (MacConkey, SS agar, MSA and nutrient agar) for cultivation of bacterial species. Colonies of E.coli, Staphylococcus spp. Brachyspira spp. and Campylobacter spp were observed based on colony morphology. Colony forming unit showed E. coli as frequently found bacteria in fecal, oral and gut contents of all the above pheasants. The overall significance difference was found among bacterial species of golden pheasants, green pheasant, ring-necked pheasant, and silver pheasants. It was concluded that E.coli is predominant isolated from heathy pheasants followed by Campylobacter, Staphylococcus and Brachyspira.

Staphylococcus bacteria are often associated with subclinical bovine mastitis. This study aimed to identify multiresistant Staphylococcus spp. associated with subclinical mastitis and the associated risk factors. Twenty-three dairy farms with a history of decrease in milk production, located in the lower Acre region, Brazil, were selected. An epidemiological questionnaire was provided in all farms. All animals were examined using the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and their milk samples were collected for bacterial culture. After isolation and identification, the disk diffusion antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed against nine classes of antimicrobials. Of the 339 cows examined using the CMT, 108 had mastitis. A total of 229 milk samples were collected from individual teats. MALDI-TOF MS found isolates belonging to eight species of Staphylococcus, in 101 of these samples. S. chromogenes (58.4%) demonstrated strongest resistance to the nine classes of antimicrobial active principles. Nineteen isolates with multidrug resistance phenotypic profile were identified. This phenotypic expression indicates wide circulation of resistant genes in this species. The presence of multidrug resistance in Staphylococcus spp. in this study was correlated with lack of water for cleaning the corral, which is a preventive factor, minimizing the transmission and persistence of pathogens in the farms.

Background: Repeat breeding syndrome (RBS) associated with sub-clinical uterine infection (UI) remains to be a major reproductive problem faced by Indian farmers. Present study documents its diagnosis, prevalent etiological agents, antibiogram pattern and efficacy of the treatment at field level. Methods: Seventy-eight RBS affected bovines were selected. The cervical mucous (CM) was collected for study of its characteristics, white-side test, endometrial cytology, microbial examination and antibiogram. The treatment protocol was developed and the animals’ response to the treatment was assessed. Result: The overall incidence of RBS was found to be 12.9% and the cases associated with uterine infection (RBS/UI+ve) and without uterine infection (RBS/UI-ve) were 44.87% and 55.13%, respectively. The mean scores of CM character, odour, pH and number of polymorphonuclear cells in RBS/UI +ve were 2.09±1.39, 1.14±0.12, 8.49±0.08 and 12.46±0.96, respectively, and differed significantly (P less than 0.05) from RBS/UI-ve cases. The microbial examination revealed the presence of gram negative bacilli, Trueperella spp., Pseudomonas spp., Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli and yeast infection. Antibiogram studies recorded the response of Tetracyclin as best (48.57%) followed by Cephalexin (22.86%), Chloramphenicol (20.0%) and Streptomycin (8.57%). The RBS/UI+ve cases were treated individually, on one-to-one basis, obeying antibiogram. The infection appeared to be considerably controlled and overall success rate was observed in the form of confirmed pregnancy in 71.43% cases. Thus, it was concluded that prompt diagnosis using endometrial cytology and antibiogram guided therapeutic approach may aid for effective management of RBS/UI +ve cases, under field conditions.

Aim of the study was to assess the frequency of microflora detection in the blood of patients with atherosclerotic vascular lesions and middle-aged patients without clinical symptoms of atherosclerosis. Compare the nature of microflora isolated from blood and the range of microorganisms isolated from atherosclerotic plaques (AP) of patients with carotid arteries atherosclerosis. Material and methods. The hemocultures of 118 men and 33 women with atherosclerosis (mean age 55.6 years) as well as 10 blood samples of 3 men and 7 women formed into a control group (mean age 37 years) were examined. Test samples were cultivated for 6 months. Tissue platings of carotid arteries AP in 11 women and 24 men of the main group (mean age 58.0) were incubated for 2 months. Methods based on Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used for statistical analysis of the obtained results. Results. Propionibacterium acnes hemocultures were detected in 9.9 % of patients from the main and control groups. In blood Staphylococcus epidermidis and Stenotrophomonas maltophylia were detected in 0.7 % of samples. P. acnes and Staphylococcus spp. cultures were obtained from AP in 34.3 and 45.7 %, including both microorganisms in 8.6 % of samples. Conclusions. P. acnes cultures are found equally frequently in the blood of atherosclerotic patients and patients not yet diagnosed with atherosclerosis. This study confirmed the presence of the same-name microorganisms in blood and atherosclerotic plaques. In 5.7 % (2 of 35) it was possible to extract simultaneously a P. acnes culture from two loci (atherosclerotic tissue and blood) in specific individuals. Further detailed research is required to study the etiological significance of the microbial factor in the atherosclerotic plaque formation.

Milk and its derivatives are highly consumed foods worldwide, with recognized nutritional importance. The search for the production of products with superior quality is constant. For the present work, 26 milk-producing properties were selected, with a total of 506 milk samples collected during the period from October 2019 to May 2020 being evaluated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of milk produced in dairy properties in the region west Paraná, classified as good or bad based on the results of the Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and through sampling (n = 10) to evaluate the resistance profile of enterobacteria and Staphylococcus spp. isolated from milk samples, in addition to the presence of the mecA gene in strains of Staphylococcus spp. resistant to oxacillin. There were significant differences between the good and bad properties for the levels of lactose, SCC (cell/mL), and Standard Plate Count (SPC) (CFU/mL). The strains of Staphylococcus spp. showed differences in the percentage of resistance in relation to the good and bad properties for antibiotics: tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, oxacillin, amikacin, clindamycin, gentamycin, and erythromycin. The mecA gene was not detected in any of the coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates that showed resistance to oxacillin. For enterobacteria, the isolated species differed in relation to the classification of properties, with predominance for Escherichia coli (40%) for properties classified as bad and Hafnia alvei (40%) for those classified as good. The percentage of antibiotic resistance compared to enterobacteria isolates was higher in properties classified as good. Monitoring through microbial culture and antibiogram is extremely important, favoring the correct choice for the treatment of animals with a reduced selection of resistant strains.

O queijo parmesão é consumido pela população na forma ralada, o que tem proporcionado uma maior opção de marcas do produto no mercado. No entanto, o queijo é um produto susceptível a contaminações, oferecendo riscos à Saúde Pública. Poucos estudos sobre esse assunto têm sido publicados na literatura, tornando-se importante averiguar a qualidade dos produtos disponíveis no mercado. Assim, o trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a qualidade microbiológica, determinar o teor de umidade e o perfil de compostos voláteis de diferentes amostras embaladas e a granel de queijo parmesão ralado, disponíveis no comércio, verificando se os produtos atendem aos padrões estabelecidos pela legislação. Em relação a umidade, observou-se que 50% das amostras apresentaram valores acima do permitido (20 g/100 g). Nas análises microbiológicas verificou-se que 70% das amostras estavam impróprias para o consumo com contagens acima do permitido pela legislação para bolores e leveduras, Staphylococcus spp. e coliformes totais. Em algumas amostras foram identificadas a presença de coliformes termotolerantes e Escherichia coli, mas não ultrapassaram o padrão estabelecido pela legislação. A análise dos compostos voláteis permitiu a identificação de 31 compostos de diferentes classes como cetonas (7), ésteres (7), ácidos carboxílicos (6), aldeídos (4), álcoois (2), lactonas (2), hidrocarboneto aromático (1), terpeno (1) e triacetina (1).  Observou-se variação na composição química entre os queijos embalados e a granel. Essas variações podem ser observadas na falta de uniformidade das amostras o que requer a necessidade de uma fiscalização mais eficiente pelos órgãos oficiais e melhorias nas condições higiênicas durante a fabricação.

Extenders for boar semen contain antibiotics, which may induce antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in inseminated females. The objective was to investigate AMR of bacteria isolated from the cervix of sows and gilts in standing heat, representing females previously exposed to antibiotics in the semen extender and non-exposed females, respectively. Cervical swabs were taken from 30 multiparous sows and 30 gilts prior to their first insemination. After culturing on agar plates, bacterial isolates were identified by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry and antimicrobial minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined. Differences in antibiotic resistance between sows and gilts were analyzed by Chi-squared or Fisher’s exact test. Bacteria isolated were mostly Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. and Corynebacterium spp. Higher MICs were observed for isolates from sows than from gilts. Most (>80%) Corynebacterium spp. were resistant to clindamycin; small numbers (<20%) were resistant to gentamicin, penicillin, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin and rifampicin, with no differences between gilts and sows. Corynebacterium from gilts were more often resistant to tetracycline than those from sows (25% vs. 4.17%; p = 0.04). In conclusion, bacteria from the porcine cervix showed low resistance to most antibiotics except for clindamycin, but antibacterial resistance may increase with increasing parity.
