AbstractTrueperella pecoris was described as a new species of the genus Trueperella in 2021 and might be pathogenic to various animal species. However, the lack of a suitable diagnostic test system stands in the way of epidemiological surveys to clarify possible causalities. In this study, a Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assay was developed and validated that was highly specific for T. pecoris. The assay provided an analytical sensitivity of 0.5 pg/25 µL and showed 100% inclusivity and exclusivity for 11 target and 33 non-target strains, respectively. Three different DNA extraction methods were evaluated to select the most LAMP-compatible method for cell disruption in pure and complex samples. Using an on-site applicable single-buffer DNA extraction with additional heating, the cell-based detection limit was 2.3 CFU/reaction. Finally, the LAMP assay was validated by means of artificially contaminated porcine lung tissue samples in which minimal microbial loads between 6.54 and 8.37 × 103 CFU per swab sample were detectable. The LAMP assay established in this study represents a suitable diagnostic procedure for identifying T. pecoris in clinical specimens and will help to collect epidemiological data on the pathogenicity of this species.

The microbiota of the gastrointestinal system of dolphins has received significant interest recently. Moreover, little is understood about the microbiomes found in the stomachs of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops aduncus ). This study aimed to evaluate the biodiversity of bacterial microbiota in the digestive system of T. aduncus . In the present study, 18 samples were obtained from an ex-situ conservation area, Wersut Seguni Indonesia, Kendal, Indonesia, and processed for bacterial DNA extraction. A total of 7 samples were qualified as representative samples for the 16S metagenomic sequencing. The bacterial composition revealed that the Shewanellaceae was significantly higher in the stomach than in the gut. As a result, the abundance of the microbiome in gastric and stool samples showed significant differences. In contrast, the Peptostreptococcaceae was found in greater abundance in the gut than in the stomach. At the species level, we successfully found emerging zoonotic pathogens involving Shewanella algae and Shewanella xiamenensis . This report is the first study to explore the bacterial diversity in gastro of T. aduncus .

Arcanobacterium canis is a novel species of the Arcanobacterium most closely related to A. haemolyticum. This study aims to characterize two A. canis isolates recovered from companion animals, specifically the claw of a cat and a vaginal swab from a dog. This study used real-time PCR to characterize A. canis isolated from companion animals. Two isolates of A. canis were recovered from purulent material from the claw of an 11-year-old cat in Germany and a vaginal swab of a dog in the United Kingdom. The samples were characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Both isolates were analyzed using culture methods, biochemical analysis, MALDI-TOF MS, real-time PCR amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and rpoB, gap, and tuf genes. The findings showed that the isolates P5197-15 and M214-96-1 obtained from companion animals were successfully characterized and confirmed to species level by real-time PCR amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, as well as the genes of rpoB, gap, and tuf. This study seeks to comprehensively understand the characteristics of A. canis isolates obtained from companion animals. Such knowledge is essential for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and control of infections caused by this pathogen in veterinary medicine. Additionally, it contributes to the broader understanding of the genetic diversity and characteristics of A. canis, which can have implications for public health and animal well-being.

The objective of this study was to identify a Shiga toxin-producing strain Escherichia coli partial rfbE and fliCh7 gene of O157:H7 isolated from a faeces sample collected from a live chicken in a traditional market in Bogor, Indonesia. The isolate was investigated using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect stx1, stx2, rfbE, and fliCh7 gene of STEC O157:H7. Then, sequencing was applied to identify the antigen markers, which are the rfbE and fliCh7 genes. In the present study, the isolate which was obtained from a live chicken was successfully identified as STEC O157:H7 strain. This conclusion was based on multiplex PCR and a nucleotide sequence analysis. This pathogen was not only found in the live chicken, but it was further suggested that the rfbE and fliCh7 genes can be used as alternative targets for molecular identification of this pathogen.

The color of edible bird’s nest is associated with its nitrite concentration, but this relationship remains inconclusive. This investigation aimed to evaluate the nitrite content in edible bird’s nest of four different colors: white, yellow, orange, and red blood. Fifty-eight edible bird’s nest samples were obtained from five swiftlet farmhouses in Borneo Island, Indonesia and analyzed for nitrite content using Genesys 30 visible spectrophotometer. Results showed that the dark-colored edible bird’s nests (yellow, orange, and red blood) had higher nitrite concentrations of 304, 317, and 309 ppm, respectively, compared with the white-colored one (15 ppm). Therefore, the color of edible bird’s nest was associated with its nitrite concentration. This study provided updated information about the nitrite concentration in edible bird’s nest of various colors.

A major current problem in public health is the issue of antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli in humans and poultry. In Indonesia, multidrug-resistant E. coli are of specific concern since such E. coli may cause public health problems in humans. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant chicken E. coli strains and the E. coli resistance genes, which are tet(A) and tet(B) genes, were investigated in the present study. A total of 57 swabs were collected from layer and broiler breeder farms in West Java, Indonesia, and used in the experiment. Eighteen isolates were identified as E. coli by the disk diffusion method. The isolates classified as drug-resistant and intermediate were then identified using PCR for the antimicrobial resistance genes. The results showed that 18 isolates of E. coli from layer-breeder and broiler-breeder farms in West Java were resistant to ampicillin (100%), nalidixic acid (94%), tetracycline (88%), oxytetracycline (83%), gentamicin (27%), and chloramphenicol (22%). PCR identification of E. coli antimicrobial-resistant genes in 18 isolates showed tet(A) and tet(B) genes. This study reports antimicrobial resistance genes among E. coli on layer and broiler breeder farms in West Java. This present study showed that E. coli isolated from layers-breeder and broiler-breeder farms in West Java of Indonesia carried tet(A) and tet(B) genes, the multidrug-resistance genes.

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) are the essential tools in diagnostic kits. The whole-cell is still considered to be used for animal‘s immunization to produce IgG. The goal of this study was to determine dominant protein on the Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7-induced typical antibody response also determined by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. The heating method was conducted at 71 °C and 83 °C for antigen preparation. The proteins were characterized using SDS-PAGE and evaluated by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. The present study reported that the dominant polyclonal antibody inducing protein was ompC E. coli. The evaluation of mass spectra by MALDI-TOF/TOF might help to identify the dominant polyclonal antibody inducing protein in future preparation of diagnostic kits.

The present study was conducted with the following aims: (i) To detect the multidrug-resistant Salmonella spp. isolates recovered from faeces, litter and drinking water in layers and broiler breeders’ farms and (ii) to carried out the detection of the tet gene. A total of 21 Salmonella isolates were subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay to determine the presence of tet gene. Out of 21 isolates, 14 (66.7%) and 7 (33.3%) were found positive for tet(A) and tet(B), respectively. In antimicrobial susceptibility tests, the Salmonella isolates showed resistance to tetracycline, oxytetracycline, ampicillin, nalidixic acid, enrofloxacin, gentamicin and chloramphenicol. It can be concluded that the high prevalence of the tet gene indicates a high potential of Salmonella isolates for horizontal transmission of tetracycline resistance genes.

This study was conducted to investigate the presence of shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and the possibility of carrying rfbE gene and H7 flagellar on meat, liver, and stool samples collected from Jakarta Province of Indonesia. A total of 51 samples collected from meat, liver, and stool of slaughtered cattle from qurban festival were tested using conventional culture and multiplex PCR methods. STEC non O157 were detected in meat (5.3%) and stool (8.3%) with one isolate from stool carried H7 flagellar. However, all isolates were lacking of rfbE gene. In antimicrobial susceptibility tests, the STEC isolates showed antibiotic resistance to erythromycin and oxacillin. Overall, the result shows that meat and liver of this origin activity represents a potential risk to human health.
