CUT-OFF VALUES OF BLACKCURRANT, LONDON PLANE AND PINE BUDS ON VANCOMYCIN RESISTANT ENTEROCOCCI ISOLATED FROM MASTITIC MILK IN BAGHDAD
...Show More Authors

Generation of new clones of multidrug resistant infectious foci of environmental, zoonotic and reverse zoonotic Enterococcus faecalis & faecium strains from cases of mastitis in cows privileged in Baghdad ecosystem reveal unsafe tricks. Medically important plants Blackcurrant, London Plane and Pine Buds are widely used for resolving these public health threats and hazards as powerful antimicrobial preparations. Totally sixty pooled milk samples were collected from apparently healthy (30 units) and infected (30 units) Cows from different regions of Abu-Ghraib during March until July (2019). Integrated units were checked by California mastitis test and a designed scheme was dependent for recovery of pathogenic Enterococci. Gram staining and catalase was proceeds. VITEK 2 (bioMérieux) technology ribbon biochemical identification system was used to segregate faecalis strain from faecium one. Group D Enterococci were confirmed by Lancefield’s serological grouping. Biofilm-formation assay was followed as an important biomarker clue for antibiotics resistance barriers. Modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion assay using Muller-Hinton agar was dependent for checking susceptibility of recovered strains to selected antibiotics Penicillin, Methicillin, Vancomycin, Amikacin & Ciprofloxacin. Watery & alcoholic extracts of selected plants were prepared according to recommendations of Codex international standards of Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) & modified disc inhibition assay with determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC titer) & minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC titer) were proceeds. Chi-square analysis via SPSS software was dependent. Qualified data descriptions regarding recovery of seventeen (28.33%) strains out of sixty samples in which, ten (16.66%) strains were recovered from mastitic milk units & seven (11.66%) strains were recovered from apparently abnormal milk units. Ten (16.66%) strains were confirmed as E. faecalis: Seven (11.66%) clones from mastitic milk units versus three (5%) clones from apparently abnormal milk units. Seven (11.66%) strains were confirmed as E. faecium: Five (8.33%) clones from mastitic milk units versus two (3.33%) clone from apparently abnormal milk units. All recovered strains were Gram-positive purple beaded cocci, Catalase negative, Lancefield group D & biofilm-producing. All strains were very resistant to all selected antibiotics. Diverse efficacy index was present among selected plants extracts in which, active ingredients index revealed powerful inhibitory level & titer for London Plane followed by Pine Buds then Blackcurrant against these powerful multidrug resistant recovered clones. In conclusion, frequency & distribution of pathogenic multidrug resistant foodborne Enterococci in our ecosystem represent privileged hazard chain of contamination that can be reduced or overcome by natural antimicrobial replacements like these extracts.

Iraqi Satellite Music Channels and Their Role in Spreading Negative Values among University Youth
...Show More Authors

This study aims to clarify the role of Iraqi satellite channels in spreading negative values ​​among university youth; and the tendency of this segment to simulate the descending behaviors and pseudo-peculiar concepts of our society, which are displayed through the screens of these channels, based on the relevant media literature such as scientific references and the results of previous studies and research.

The study followed the survey methodology to examine the public based on the questionnaire as a research tool, which was distributed to a sample of male and female students of Baghdad University enrolled in the university for the academic year 2011-2012.

In order to achieve the specific objectives of this research

Investigation on Field Performance of Plowing and Harvesting Potatoes in Southern Baghdad
...Show More Authors

This field experiment, was conducted to investigate a comparison of two methods for harvesting potatoes: mechanical and handy when using moldboard and chisel plow for primary tillage and three different distances for planting tubers in the rows 15, 25, and 35 cm in silt clay loam soil south of Baghdad. The factorial experiment followed a randomized complete block design with three replications using L.S.D. 5 % and 1 %. Mechanical harvest recorded the best valid potato tubers at 88.78 %, marketable yield of 31.74 ton. ha-1, efficiency lifted 95.68 %, tubers damage index 28.41, speeding up the harvesting process and reducing time and effort. Handy harvest gave the least damage to potato tubers, 6.02 %, and unlifted potato tubers, 4.32 %. Howe

Nutritional and Evaluation properties of natural orange juice enriched by coconut milk as kids' nutritional drink
...Show More Authors

Coconut milk is considered as a natural drink that enhances the immunity and it is enriched by calcium, iron, magnesium and vitamin (C) and it is also safe drink for kids and bacterial anti-oxdant, and it may be used in the natural juices instead of the whole milk (cow milk) which is added to some juices. This study aimed to determine the nutritrnal value and the sensory evaluation properties of the natural orange juice enriched by canned coconut milk                                                 &nb
