The current study presents a simple and reproducible ALP and AChE purification method from Moniezia expansa helminthes by precipitating the proteins with ammonium sulfate and chromatography on the Sephacryl S-300 column. The M. expansa ALP purified at 1070.8 U/mg, displaying 6.0 purification folds and 53.6% yield, while M. expansa AChE is at 5250 U/mg, displaying 2.0 purification folds and 43% yield. The M. expansa ALP isoenzyme displayed its optimum activity at pH 9.6, while the M. expansa AChE isoenzyme displayed its optimum activity at pH 8.0. The affinity of M. expansa ALP for several substrates revealed that p-nitrophenyl phosphate preferentially cleaved with a Km value of 4.4 mM. M. expansa AChE preferentially cleaved acetylthiocholine iodide with a Km value of 0.9 mM. M. expansa ALP is strongly stimulated with Co 2+ , Mn 2+ , Ni 2+ , and Mg 2+ and reduced with Zn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ca 2+ , EDTA and DTT. On the other hand, M. expansa AChE is significantly induced with Co 2+ , Zn 2+ , and Ni 2+ and inhibited with Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline and eserine. The antisera of the purified M. expansa ALP and AChE found effective for determining the two enzymes in different unknown sera from different animal species, including humans, sheep and fish. These results may provide a possible future application of such enzymes in producing ALP and AChE-coated ELISA plates for research purposes.","PeriodicalId":14655,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi journal of Veterinary Sciences","volume":"92 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139124995","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}

One hundred sixty-five rectal swabs were taken from apparently healthy dogs 90 and diarrheal dogs 75 in Baghdad province, Iraq. The Salmonella species was found using standard bacterial culture, biochemical tests, an analytical profile index API-20, the VITEK2 compact system, and serotyping. Salmonella isolates were screened using the disc diffusion technique for susceptibility to ten antimicrobials. Findings indicated that the Salmonella species prevalence rate was 6.06% from dogs’ fecal samples, with three species identified; the most common serovar was S. Typhimurium, S . Enteritidis, and S . Muenchen, which was isolated for the first time from dogs in Iraq. Statistically significant risk factors concerning the diarrheal state, breed, feeding, and body condition were found. High occurrences were in diarrheal dogs 10.66% compared to non-diarrheic dogs 2.22%; the large dog breed had a higher isolate rate of Salmonella than the small breed. Thin body condition dogs were more at risk than fatty dogs, and the dogs consuming uncooked feed had a higher percentage of Salmonella isolates and were more at risk than those consuming mixed food. Non-significant differences were found according to the gender, age, and educational status of dog owners. Salmonella isolates exhibited high resistance to cefotaxime, ampicillin, azithromycin, gentamycin, and tetracycline but were sensitive to norfloxacin. All the isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR) except S . Muenchen. In conclusion, diarrheal and apparently healthy dogs carry and shed resistant Salmonella spp., a potential public health risk.","PeriodicalId":14655,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi journal of Veterinary Sciences","volume":"131 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139128463","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}
