Background: This research identified Streptococci spp. depending on culture, biochemistry, the VITEK technique, ability to produce biofilms, and antibiotic resistance. Aim: The goal of this study was to perform microbiological procedures to evaluate the qualitative qualities of mozzarella cheese against infective Streptococci using microbiological care. Methods: Sixty (60) mozzarella cheese samples were brought from diverse markets in Baghdad from October 2023 to December 2023 at the Zoonoses Research Unit and Veterinary Public Health Department, Veterinary Medicine College, University of Baghdad. Culture of samples on agar (MacConkey and blood) and aerobically incubated at 37°C for 48 hours. Gram staining purified colonies to notice Gram-positive cocci arranged in strings that were supposed to be Streptococcus species, and then sub cultured on nutrient agar for identification using the VITEK technique. The isolates were tested for their capacity to lyse human red blood cells by streaking blood agar and incubating at 37°C for 24 hours. Streptococcal isolates were streaked on a Congo-red medium. All isolates were inspected for antibiotic susceptibility using 15 common antibiotics via the disc diffusion method. Results: Isolates mozzarella cheese samples 8 (13.3%), these (eight) isolates include: (Streptococcus thoraltensis, Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus cremoris, and Streptococcus alactolyticus. The susceptibility of S. thoraltensis, S. sanguinis, and S. alactolyticus was (26.6%), and S. cremoris (20%) to all antibiotics. Resistance of S. thoraltensis was (53%), S. sanguinis, S. alactolyticus were (66%), and S. cremoris was (73%) to all antibiotics. S. thoraltensis, S. cremoris, and S. alactolyticus were susceptible (75%) to Amikacin. S.sanguinis and S. cremoris were susceptible (50%) to Tigecycline. Streptococcus thoraltensis and S. alactolyticus were susceptible (50%) to Doxycycline. Streptococcus sanguinis and S. alactolyticus were susceptible (50%) to Ciprofloxacin. Streptococcus thoraltensis and S. sanguinis were susceptible (50%) to Azithromycin. Streptococcus sanguinis was susceptible (25%) to vancomycin. Streptococcus alactolyticus was susceptible (25%) to Streptomycin. Streptococcus thoraltensis was susceptible (25%) to Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid. S. cremoris was susceptible (25%) to Penicillin. All isolates were 100% resistant to imipenem, lincomycin, meropenem, methicillin, and chloramphenicol. Conclusion: Analysis of mozzarella cheese samples identified four predominant Streptococcus species and their antibiotic activity.
Objective:This study involved synthesis of a new series of different five-membered heterocyclic derivatives, testing their antioxidant activity, and examining their potential in vitro antimicrobial agents. Methods: The synthesis of the derivatives involved a three-step process. Initially, succinyl chloride was reacted with methanol, followed by a reaction with 80% hydrazine hydrate through a nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism, resulting in the formation of succinohydrazide (I). This compound was then employed as a precursor for the synthesis of Schiff bases (II), and (III) by reacting it with m-nitro benzaldehyde and p-nitro benzaldehyde. Following this, a ring closure reaction was applied using thioglycolic acid, glycolic acid,

Five isolates of Gram negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Psuedomonas auroginosa, proteus mirabilis and two strains of E.coli) were in quested for the ability of bearing silver nanoparticles by using LB medium, all the isolates of bacteria were buttered brown color just as soon as mixed the supernatant of bacterial culture with AgNO3 solution, that refered the biosynthesis of Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). UV–visible spectrophotometer and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were utilized for estimation of (Ag NPs). The five isolates of bacteria were tendered to produce spontaneous mutants by using different kinds of antibiotics, Ampicillin put to use for making mutant in E.coli and Proteus mirabillis, while Pseudom

The aim of this study was to effect of adding supplementing different levels of bee pollen (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000) gm/100kg on Productive Performance. The chicks were randomly distributed in to five treatments, T1 control (without any addition), (T2, T3, T4 and T5) adding bee pollen in the diet 250, 500, 750 and 1000 gm/100kg respectively. The results showed that bee pollen in the diet level 1000 gm/100 kg led to significant increase in the we

Background: Periodontal diseases are inflammatory disorders caused by the accumulation of oral biofilm and the host response to this accumulation which characterized by exaggerated leukocytes and neutrophils attraction to the sites of inflammation by chemoattractants which are a very important part of the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases. This study aimed to determine and compare the clinical periodontal parameters and the leukocyte cell types in the peripheral blood between patients with gingivitis and periodontitis with different severities compared to healthy controls. Materials and methods: This study included 150 male subjects aged between 35-50 years. They were divided into three groups: gingivitis group (n=30), periodontitis p

Background: Toxin-producing Shiga Escherichia coli has been identified as a new foodborne pathogen that poses a significant health risk to humans. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli can be found in raw cow milk and its derivatives. A small number of Escherichia coli strains that produce shiga toxin are pathogenic. Aim of study: The study aimed to see if there were any virulence genes in 50 milk samples that were typical of Entero-haemorrhagic E. coli and evaluate the Myrtus communis effects on these bacteria. Materials and Method: Milk samples were used to isolate E. coli bacteria (n= 27), biochemically analyzed, and genetically screened for virulence genes using a multiplex (PCR). The hydro-alcoholic extraction of Myrtus communis leave
