One of the most important emerging health problems is the increasing role of animals in the rapid global rise in resistance to last-resort antibiotics, such as carbapenems. However, there is limited information on the role of pet animals in harboring and spreading pandrug-resistant (PDR) carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), especially in...

Simple Summary: The present study aimed to isolate Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis from caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) in smallholder sheep and goats. Thereafter, antimicrobial resistance determinants , virulence characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis of the isolates were investigated. Our results revealed that 24.54% (54/220) of examined anima...

Bacterial pathogens carried by pet birds are considered a risk for birds, workers, and pet owners. This study investigated the potential of pet birds as reservoirs for virulent multidrug-resistant (MDR) zoonotic bacteria and assessed the genetic relatedness and diversity of bacterial isolates from pet birds and human contacts. Cloacal and tracheal...

Background Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) is a contagious pathogen of bovine mastitis. It has financial implications for the dairy cattle industry in certain areas of the world. Since antimicrobial resistance increases in dairy farms, natural antimicrobials from herbal origins and nanoparticles have been given more attention as an alterna...

This study was conducted to find out the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of brucellosis in northwestern coast of Egypt such important border area. In this study, 630 serum samples (272 camel, 237 sheep and 121 goat) were collected from different localities of the northwestern coast, Egypt. Serum samples were tested serologically by Rose...

Brucellosis represents a serious problem in cattle relaying huge economic and reproductive losses. Brucella meletensis is one of the most brucella strains isolated from sheep and cattle which can infect human. The aim of present study was the detection of antibodies against brucellosis among cattle population in Egypt. Serologically brucella was de...
