<b>Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of infective <i>Streptococci</i> recovered from local and imported mozzarella cheese from different markets in Baghdad</b>
...Show More Authors

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.

Isolation and identification of intestinal parasites from Goats in some areas of Wasit Province, Iraq
...Show More Authors

The current study was conducted on goats in various parts of Wasit Province, Iraq, from November 2021 to April 2022. The study aims to find and identify intestinal parasites (IPs) in goats in Wasit province. The goat's fresh fecal specimens (n=180) include cysts, eggs, oocysts, trophozoites and larval stages. One hundred eighty sheep feces samples were collected, and more than one parasite was isolated from one sample (mixed infection). According to the data acquired, the overall prevalence of intestinal parasites in goats was 52.77 (95 samples). In the current investigation, eleven distinct (IPs) species with infection rates were identified, including Toxocara vitulorum (Goeze, 1782) (16.66 %), Cryptosporidium sp.( Tyzzer, 1907) (1

Evaluation of reverse logistics options for international and local companies in Iraq
...Show More Authors

Many international companies have branches or agencies in Iraq and have large market shares, and this has contributed to the increase in the import of these companies' products. This process created an additional problem of handling a large number of expired or defective products. There are many methods that contribute significantly to reducing these problems. The most prominent of these is the activation of reverse logistics options in Iraq by international and local companies. This research aims to conduct a survey of the reverse logistics options approved by some local and international companies and compare between them. This paper found that Amaron, Hitachi, Apple, Samsung and Huawei have limited options for reverse logistics and that
