Some strains produce enterotoxins (Ent) as staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) which is involved in 75% of food poisoning outbreaks. Few methods are sensitive and specific enough to confirm the diagnosis of staphylococcal food poisoning. In this study, a segment of Ent A-ORF with molecular weight 774 bp was amplified, cloned, sequenced and aligned with published Ent A-ORFs. Ent A-ORF was subcloned into bacterial expression vector (GST-PGEX4T1 vector) and expressed as a fusion protein with GST-tagged protein. A band size of 27 kDa of purified Ent A protein was cleaved from GST protein by thrombin. The expressed protein of Ent A was identified by strong reaction with commercialized polyclonal antibodies against Ent A. Antiserum against Egyptian recombinant Ent A protein was produced by immunization of Balb/c mice, the produced recombinant polyclonal antibodies had a titre of 1:2500 in direct ELISA. The produced recombinant polyclonal antibody was evaluated and reacted specifically in Western immunoblotting analysis and ELISA test. Finally from the obtained results, the produced recombinant protein of Ent A can be used successfully for production of recombinant polyclonal antibodies and used in large-scale detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin A.","PeriodicalId":7580,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Microbiological Research","volume":"65 1","pages":"131-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80352853","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}

A total of 218 E. coli strains isolated from salads were confirmed by identification of iudA gene. Antibiotic resistance profile was determined by the agar diffusion method and by the detection of resistance genetic supports. Prevalence of E. coli resistant to antibiotics in vegetable salads was 70.2% with 28.4% of multi-resistant. Antibiotic resistance particularly concerned tetracycline (52.3%), streptomycin (38.5%) and to a lesser extent, nalidixic acid (15.6%). The genes aaa [3] -IV, CIMT, QnrA, tetA, tetB, cmlA and cat1 respectively conferring resistance to gentamicin, ampicillin, quinolones, tetracycline and chloramphenicol were highlighted.

The PCVs implementation in developing countries was prevented by their high manufacturing costs. This issue can be overcome by development of protein based vaccines against pneumococci. Antibody responses are necessary for protection against S. pneumoniae. Choline binding protein D (CBPD) was already identified as a pneumococcal surface protein able to elicit protection against S. pneumoniae and its most protective B-cell epitope region (MIBR) was determined. MIBR was highly conserved in common pneumococcal serotypes. Whole antigens are not as potent as epitope based vaccines and B-cell epitope based vaccines are more effective than whole antigen based vaccines in the prevention of infections. Bacterial flagellins are effective adjuvants that signal via Toll like receptor 5 (TLR5). The TLR5 binding site of flagellin located in the D1 domain and its proper conformation is critical for TLR5 recognition of flagellin. In the present study, therefore, we aim to design effective chimeric vaccines against pneumococci based on MIBR and flagellin of Salmonella Enteritidis (FliC) using bioinformatics tools. FliC was joined to MIBR at N-terminus (CFH), C-terminus (FCH) and the D3 domain (D3Gly202, D3Thr275). All of the constructs were immunoprotective regarding the VaxiJen score (0.8). The codon optimization for constructs was done using OPTIMIZER. Analysis of the mRNA secondary structures using Mfold tool revealed no stable hairpins at 5' ends of constructs and thus the antigens can be expressed appropriately. SCRATCH results indicated that the antigens can be expressed in the soluble form in Escherichia coli at more than 80% probability. The 3D models of antigens resulted from I-TASSER indicated the presence of alpha helix, beta sheet, turn, coil, and 310 helix as the protein structural elements. Superimposing 3D models of D1 domains of antigens with the D1 domain of FliC using FATCAT indicated no change in the D1 conformation. Therefore, FliC can exert its adjuvant effects in these constructs through TLR5 signaling. Inserting MIBR in Gly202 of FliC enhanced the protein beta sheet content remarkably, which can result in appropriate thermostability of the antigen. Our results, therefore, demonstrated that D3Gly202 is a suitable vaccine candidate, which can elicit protection against common S. pneumoniae serotypes causing invasive pneumococcal disease in children less than 5 years of age.","PeriodicalId":7580,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Microbiological Research","volume":"40 1","pages":"118-123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79275946","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}

All the fruits were bought fresh from the market, cut into small cubes, and sun dried to a crisp over 4-5 days. After being blended to a fine powder, 75g of each powder was passed through a Soxhlet apparatus containing 250 ml of 99% ethanol to obtain a crude extract. This process was repeated with 250 ml of methanol to obtain a methanolic crude extract. The antimicrobial properties of the extracts were tested using agar well diffusion, Norfloxacin used as positive control and water as negative control. The inhibition zones from each extract were measured and an activity index was calculated from the mean zone sizes. All fruits showed some degree of antimicrobial properties with the highest activity index (2.6) being from Pineapple ethanolic and methanolic extracts against EAEC. Both Apple ethanolic and methanolic extracts showed activity only against Staph. aureus and EAEC. Guava extracts were effective against all the strains except for ETEC. Pineapple extracts were strongly active against all the bacteria. The methanolic extracts of Apple and Guava showed slightly larger zones compared to their ethanolic extracts. For Pineapple, inhibition zones from the ethanolic extracts were slightly larger. The results of this investigation show great promise for potential antimicrobial drugs.","PeriodicalId":7580,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Microbiological Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"101-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74973455","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}

All serum samples were tested and screened serologically using Rose Bengal plate test and confirmed using a complement fixation test. Associated risk factor analysis was also conducted using chi-square and logistic regression analysis. As a result, 30 (12.2%) were Rose Bengal plate test reactors in which 10 (4.1%) were confirmed to be positive using complement fixation test.

In general, camel brucellosis is prevalent in this area of study and public awareness towards zoonotic importance is low. Therefore, fruitful and sustainable work is required from the government, animal health professionals, and other stakeholders in the prevention and control of the disease.
