Numerous Vibrio species are linked to food - borne illnesses and are harmful to humans. The present investigation was performed to identify the prevalence and virulence genes of Vibrio species isolated from white shrimp (Metapenaeus stebbingi) and test the efficacy of some organic acids on its survival with improving shrimp shelf life. Samples of white shrimp (M. stebbingi) were collected from fisher-men in Ismailia City, Egypt, between July and November 2023. Vibrio species were isolated and identified from the shrimp's hepatopancreas and musculature using its specific media (Thiosulfate - Citrate - Bile - Sucrose Agar) and biochemical tests. Then, the identification was confirmed and their virulence genes were detected by using PCR. Moreover, trials were performed by using acetic and citric acids treatments for decreasing Vibrio parahaemolyticus counts in artificially inoculated shrimp at different treatment durations, as well as for extending shelf life of chilled shrimp at refrigeration storage (4 o C). The sensory attributes, pH values, total aerobic plate counts and lipid oxidation were evaluated under refrigeration at interval 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days. Results revealed that Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio alginolyticus were found to be present in naturally infected white shrimp (M. stebbingi), with a total prevalence of 14%, where V. alginolyticus was the most prevalent, accounting for 9.6 ,%","PeriodicalId":11415,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Animal Health","volume":"9 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141701622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is one of the most common mycotox-ins in chicken feed and their meat, which poses a concern for both animal and human health. The study aimed to investigate OTA residues by us-ing ELISA technique in meat, liver and kidney samples. Additionally, it aimed to evaluate total protein, albumin, globulin, functions and antioxidant state of both liver and kidney, in addition to assess some meat quality parameters of both farm-raised and backyard chicken. A total of 60 chicken (30 each of farm-raised and backyard chickens) were collected across different regions of Ismailia City, Egypt. The results revealed that incidence of OTA residues was significantly higher in all farm-raised chicken samples than in all backyard chicken samples, with significant higher concentration in kidney samples, followed by liver samples then breast and thigh meat samples. According to the Egyptian and International Standards, neither breast and thigh meat nor liver samples exceeded the permissible limits in both breeding systems. Moreover, farm raised chicken revealed noteworthy decline (P<0.05) in serum total proteins and albumin. Conversely, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine and urea exhibited significant increases. A significant reduction in total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) within kidney and liver. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between backyard and farmed raised chicken meat in pH values, moisture%, protein% and ash %. However, significantly higher fat % and thiobarbeturic acid reactive substances (TBARS) content in farm raised chicken meat than backyard ones. In conclusion, OTA residues were higher in farm-raised chicken, inversely affecting their biochemical and oxidative capacity with no differences in meat quality except their higher fat content and higher meat oxidation.
