Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Toxin Genes of Bacillus cereus Group Isolated from Meat and Chicken Products

oxigenic Profiling and Antibiotic Resistance of Baclllus cereus Strains Isolated from Food Consumed By School Children In Ilorin Metropolis

“…Some other authors reported that B. cereus strains were generally resistant to penicillin, ampicillin, cephalosporins, and trimethoprim and susceptible to clindamycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, vancomycin, imipenem, aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin [21]. The report of [22] also supported the observed pattern of resistance in this study. However, [21] mentioned that antibiotic susceptibility of Bacillus cereus strains to streptomycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin was high but was less susceptible to ampicillin, ampiclox, cotrimoxazole, cloxacillin.…”

“…However, [21] mentioned that antibiotic susceptibility of Bacillus cereus strains to streptomycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin was high but was less susceptible to ampicillin, ampiclox, cotrimoxazole, cloxacillin. Variations in the percentages of susceptibility recorded may be due to the differences in the sources of isolates and culture parameters, genomic composition, and the overall widespread use of antibiotics in the environment [21,22]. The development of drug resistance has been traced to the indiscriminate use of these drugs in medical and veterinary practice to treat infections coupled with abuse and misuse of the drugs in society; these practices have led to DNA mutation and acquiring resistance genes among bacterial isolates [23].…”

“…Furthermore, antibiotic-resistance gene transfer is very common through horizontal gene transfer among bacteria. The knowledge of the pattern of antibiotic resistance of Bacillus cereus from foods is useful in epidemiological studies, but its effectiveness decreases due to the negligence in utilization [22]. However, it is noteworthy that the enterotoxic B. cereus strains examined were highly susceptible to ofloxacin (100%), cotrimoxazole (85.7%), ciprofloxacin (100%), and reflacine (100%).…”

Food Born Pathogen Contamination of Some Meat Products in Damanhur City, Egypt

“…Table (6) bacteriological examination of meat products samples revealed that B. cereus were found in 16, 20, 24 and 34% of examined minced meat, liver, luncheon and sausage with mean values of 3.57×10 3 ±0.54×10 3 , 3.20×10 3 ±0.38×10 3 , 3.08×10 3 ±0.46×10 3 and 1.61×10 4 ±0.11×10 4 Cfu/g; respectively. Nearly similar incidence of B. cereus in minced meat 17.14% and in luncheon 20% was reported by(Gharib et al 2020). Higher incidence of B. cereus in minced meat 76% and luncheon 44% were reported by(Tharwat et al 2020).…”

Kanatlı Etlerinde Gıda Güvenliği: Bakteriyel Tehlikeler

“…Genel olarak incelenen 200 numuneden 43'ü (%21,5) B. cereus grubu tarafından kontamine olmuştur. B. cereus izolatları tavuk eti örneklerinde (%25,71) sık görülürken, en yüksek görülme sıklığını tavuk etinde (%30) gözlemlemişlerdir [38]. Kahire ve New Valley vilayetindeki farklı süpermarketlerden rastgele olarak dondurulmuş tavuk göğsü, dondurulmuş tavuk budu, tavuk öğle yemeği, tavuk burger ve tavuk sosisi (her biri 35 adet) içeren 175 örnek toplamıştır.…”
