  • Examination of Zoonotic Bacterial Pathogens in Canine and Feline Raw Meat-Based Diets
    F.P.J. van Bree, Utrecht University, 2016 Paper Paper Examination of zoonotic bacterial pathogens in canine and feline raw meat-based diets F.P.J. van Bree, P.A.M. Overgaauw The feeding of raw meat-based diets (RMBD) to companion animals has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, such diets were demonstrated to be possibly contaminated with various zoonotic bacterial species in several studies and so the feeding of these diets could pose a risk to both animal and human health. Data about the situation in the Netherlands, or Europe in general are not available. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the contamination of commercial RMBDs available in the Netherlands with zoonotic bacterial pathogens. Thirty-five commercial RMBDs were evaluated via bacterial culture for Escherichia coli O157:H7, extended- spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL-)producing E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp.. E. coli O157:H7 was isolated from eight (23%) products, ESBL-producing E. coli from twenty- eight (80%) products, L. monocytogenes from nineteen (54%) products, other Listeria spp. from fifteen (43%) products, and Salmonella spp. from seven (20%) products. The results of this study demonstrate the need to pay attention to the potential of RMBDs to be a source for zoonotic bacterial pathogens in the Netherlands. These diets cannot be ruled out as a possible source for bacterial infections in both humans and animals and therefore companion animal owners should be informed about the associated risks. Keywords: raw meat-based diet; BARF; E. coli O157; ESBL; Listeria monocytogenes; Salmonella; public health In recent years it has become increasingly popular among of them are intended to provide for a complete diet for dogs dog and cat owners to feed raw meat-based diets (RMBD), and/or cats.

  • Wooden Sticks for Plaque Streaking and Microbiological Inoculation
    ISSN 1519-6984 (Print) ISSN 1678-4375 (Online) THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON NEOTROPICAL BIOLOGY THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY AND ENVIRONMENT Original Article Wooden sticks for plaque streaking and microbiological inoculation might be more cost- effective, but is its large scale use feasible? Quality control methods and proof of concept Métodos de controle de qualidade e prova de conceito para a utilização de palitos de madeira em microbiologia podem ser mais econômicas, mas seu uso em larga escala é viável? Método de controle de qualidade e prova de conceito D. M. Castro e Silvaa* and N. S. Adiwardanab aInstituto Adolfo Lutz – IAL, São Paulo, SP, Brasil bInstituto de Infectologia Emilio Ribas, São Paulo, SP, Brasil Abstract The loop is a material classically used in the laboratory for the purpose of plate streaking and handling biological materials. However, metal loops techniques might be time consuming, considering the amount of time spent to guarantee its cooling process through each inoculation. Furthermore, plastic loops may also represent environmental issues during its production and discard process and can also represent higher costs for the laboratory. Thus, in situations of limited resources, even the simplest materials can be restricted due to logistical and budgetary issues, especially in developing countries. Inspired by demands like these, facing an occasional shortage of supply of laboratory plastic handles, we hereby present a quality control for sterilization methods and cost-effectiveness studies towards the use of wooden sticks in a Latin American country and we discuss the possibility of the large-scale use of this technique. Keywords: microbiology; bacteriology; plaque inoculation; wood; waste management.

  • Bacterial Typing and Identification Based on Fourier Transform
    Bacterial Typing and Identication Based on Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Huayan Yang Ningbo University Fangling Wu Ningbo University Fuxin Xu Ningbo University Keqi Tang Ningbo University Chuanfan Ding Ningbo University Haimei Shi ( [email protected] ) Ningbo University Shaoning Yu ( [email protected] ) Ningbo University Method Article Keywords: Bacteria,Typing , Identication, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Posted Date: February 14th, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.2.23337/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/50 Abstract Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a label-free and highly sensitive technique that provides complete information on the chemical composition of biological samples. The bacterial FT-IR signals are extremely specic and highly reproducible ngerprint-like patterns, making FT-IR an ecient tool for bacterial typing and identication. Due to the low cost and high ux, FT-IR has been widely used in hospital hygiene management for infection control, epidemiological studies, and routine bacterial determination of clinical laboratory values. However, the typing and identication accuracy could be affected by many factors, and the bacterial FT-IR data from different laboratories are usually not comparable. A standard protocol is required to improve the accuracy of FT-IR-based typing and identication. Here, we detail the principles and procedures of bacterial typing and identication based on FT-IR spectroscopy, including bacterial culture, sample preparation, instrument operation, spectra collection, spectra preprocessing, and mathematical data analysis. Without bacterial culture, a typical experiment generally takes <2 h. Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 overview Ecient typing and identication of bacteria is important for many applications in microbiology1-3.

  • Streaking Microbiology Dr.Heba Shehab
    Streaking microbiology Dr.Heba Shehab In microbiology, streaking is a technique used to isolate a pure strain from a single species of microorganism, often bacteria. Samples can then be taken from the resulting colonies and a microbiological culture can be grown on a new plate so that the organism can be identified, studied, or tested. History: The modern streak plate method has progressed from the efforts of Robert Koch and other microbiologists to obtain microbiological cultures of bacteria in order to study them. The dilution or isolation by streaking method was first developed by Loeffler and Gaffky in Koch's laboratory, which involves the dilution of bacteria by systematically streaking them over the exterior of the agar in a petri dish to obtain isolated colonies which will then grow into quantity of cells, or isolated colonies. If the agar surface grows microorganisms which are all genetically same, the culture is then considered as a microbiological culture. Technique Streaking is rapid and ideally a simple process of isolation dilution. The technique is done by diluting a comparatively large concentration of bacteria to a smaller concentration. The decrease of bacteria should show that colonies are sufficiently spread apart to effect the separation of the different types of microbes. Streaking is done using a sterile tool, such as acotton swab or commonly an inoculation loop. Aseptic techniques are used to maintain microbiological cultures and to prevent contamination of the growth medium.There are many different types of methods used to streak a plate. Picking a technique is a matter of individual preference and Streaking microbiology Dr.Heba Shehab can also depend on how large the number of microbes the sample contains.
