Antimicrobial resistance genes in ESBL-producing escherichia coli isolates from animals in Greece
(2021)The prevalence of multidrug resistant, extended spectrum -lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae is increasing worldwide. The present study aimed to provide an overview of the multidrug resistance phenotype and ... -
Application of a semi-dependent latent model in the Bayesian estimation of the sensitivity and specificity of two faecal culture methods for diagnosis of paratuberculosis in sub-clinically infected Greek dairy sheep and goats
(2006)In this study, we compared the frequency of isolation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) from faecal samples grown on Herrold's egg-yolk medium (HEYM) or on Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium and estimated the ... -
Application of Bayesian modeling for diagnostic assays of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in sheep and goats flocks
(2022)Background: This study aimed to screen the sera of goats and sheep from flocks suspected of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infection by a newly standardized Mce-truncated ELISA (Mt-ELISA) kit for the ... -
Bioaugmentation of animal feces as a mean to mitigate environmental contamination with anthelmintic benzimidazoles
(2021)Anthelmintics are used to control infestations of ruminants by gastrointestinal nematodes. The limited metabolism of anthelmintics in animals result in their excretion in feces. These could be piled up in the floor of ... -
Biodegradation of anthelmintics in soils: does prior exposure of soils to anthelmintics accelerate their dissipation?
(2022)Anthelmintics (AHs) control animal infections with gastrointestinal nematodes. They reach soil through animal faeces deposited on soils or through manuring. Although soil constitutes a major AH sink, we know little about ... -
Case Report of Transmissible Gastroenteritis Coronavirus Infection Associated with Small Intestine and Brain Lesions in Piglets
(2019)This case study report describes a transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV) infection presented in a commercial pig herd. The clinical signs of infection appeared in newborn piglets, including medium morbidity and ... -
Clostridium perfringens foodborne outbreak during an athletic event in northern Greece, June 2019
(2019)Background: Food safety is a major public health consideration during athletic events. On 27 June 2019, the Hellenic National Public Health Organization was notified of a cluster of gastroenteritis cases among athletes of ... -
Core versus diet-associated and postprandial bacterial communities of the rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) midgut and faeces
(2018)This study investigated the impact of different dietary ingredients, with different protein/lipid sources, on midgut and faeces bacteria community structures just before feeding and 3 h after feeding a single meal to ... -
Development of resistance to eprinomectin in gastrointestinal nematodes in a goat herd with pre-existing resistance to benzimidazoles
(2019)We described a first case of resistance to eprinomectin in goat herd in Poland in which resistance to benzimidazoles had been previously reported. The herd was established in 2011 by purchasing several goats from a single ... -
Effects of capsicum and propyl-propane thiosulfonate on rumen fermentation, digestion, and milk production and composition in dairy cows
(2020)Essential oils may affect rumen fermentation, nutrient digestion, and milk production and composition. The objective of this study was to test the effects of capsicum oleoresin (CAP) and propyl-propane thiosulfonate (PTSO) ... -
Evidence for waterborne origin of an extended mixed gastroenteritis outbreak in a town in Northern Greece, 2019
(2020)We investigated a large gastroenteritis outbreak that occurred in Northern Greece in 2019. A case was defined as anyone presenting with diarrhoea and/or vomiting from 24/01/2019 to 04/02/2019. We conducted a case-control ... -
Fish welfare in aquaponic systems: Its relation to water quality with an emphasis on feed and faeces-A review
(2017)Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (fish) and hydroponic cultivation of plants. This review examines fish welfare in relation to rearing water quality, fish feed and fish waste and faeces to develop a sustainable ... -
Grape pomace improves antioxidant capacity and faecal microflora of lambs
(2017)Grape pomace is a by-product of winemaking process and rich in bioactive compounds such as plant polyphenols having antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. As known, oxidative stress may cause a number of pathological ... -
Grape pomace improves performance, antioxidant status, fecal microbiota and meat quality of piglets
(2018)In the present study, grape pomace (GP) was used as feed additive in the diet of weaned piglets in order to develop innovative feedstuffs and to investigate their potential beneficial effects on welfare, productivity and ... -
Inulin-type fructan supplementation of 3- To 6-year-old children is associated with higher fecal Bifidobacterium concentrations and fewer febrile episodes requiring medical attention
(2018)Background: Inulin-type fructans used in formula have been shown to promote microbiota composition and stool consistency closer to those of breastfed infants and to have beneficial effects on fever occurrence, diarrhea, ... -
