Article Abstract
Background And Aim: The increasing number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) species on poultry farms in Indonesia has caused concern regarding human health. This study was conducted to determine the presence of the virulence gene A in MDR species isolated from the cloacal swab of broiler chickens in Blitar district, East Java Province, Indonesia.
Materials And Methods: Cloacal swab samples were collected by purposive sampling from 15 farms in four districts. Isolation and identification of bacteria were performed using standard microbiological techniques. Confirmation of MDR isolates was done using five different classes of antibiotics, including the beta-lactam, aminoglycoside, fluoroquinolone, phenicol, and monobactam groups. An antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method, and a polymerase chain reaction method was used to screen for the presence of A.
Results: It was observed that 32.26% (50/155) of the samples were positive for species. Of these 50 isolates, 7 (14%) were identified as MDR strains. An important finding was the detection of A in all the seven MDR strains (100%) isolated from the cloacal swab of broiler chickens in Blitar district, East Java Province.
Conclusion: Veterinarians have an extremely important role in monitoring the use of antibiotics in farm animals to mitigate the rapid spread of MDR organisms in our environment, which can otherwise cause serious economic losses and also public health issues.

Goose astrovirus (GAstV) is an important pathogen causing joint and visceral gout in goslings. Its high incidence and mortality had caused enormous economic losses to the goose farming industry. To achieve the simultaneous and rapid identification and detection of Goose astrovirus genotype 1 (GAstV-1) and genotype 2 (GAstV-2), the present study aimed to design and synthesize specific recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) primers and exo probes targeting the ORF1b gene of GAstV.

Fowl typhoid (FT), a septicemic infection caused by Gallinarum (SG), and H9N2 avian influenza are two economically important diseases that significantly affect the global poultry industry. We exploited the live attenuated Gallinarum (SG) mutant JOL3062 (SG: ∆ ∆ ∆) as a delivery system for H9N2 antigens to induce an immunoprotective response against both H9N2 and FT. To enhance immune protection against H9N2, a prokaryotic and eukaryotic dual expression plasmid, pJHL270, was employed.

Background: The gut microbiota of Testudines is fundamental to their digestion and overall health, yet remains a poorly investigated area in their biology, particularly in wild freshwater turtle (terrapins) and tortoise populations within South Africa. This study investigated the occurrence, diversity, virulence genes and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from Testudine gut microbiota and sediments at Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, South Africa.
Methods And Results: Cloacal swab samples were collected from 36 wild Testudines and 20 sediment samples from temporary and permanent water bodies.

Free-roaming rosy-faced lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis) were first documented in the greater Phoenix area (Arizona, USA) in the mid-1980s and have since established small populations. In blood and cloacal swab samples from 69 lovebirds at four locations, we identified the presence of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), aves polyomavirus (APyV), and psittacine adenovirus 5 (PsAdV-5). Additionally, we identified a novel aviadenovirus, hereby referred to as psittacine adenovirus 12 (PsAdV-12).

Pet birds are most popular as pets in Bangladesh, with budgerigars being the most common species. However, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance poses a growing threat to both pet birds and their owners. This study aims to investigate the ecology of pet birds and the epidemiology of multidrug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus spp.
