“…The presence of antibiotics in honey is a global problem, as they can produce residues and pose risks to human health. They can also cause allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance in humans [ 47 ], toxic effects, hepatotoxicity, and nephropathy [ 48 , 49 , 50 ]. Chloramphenicol residues can cause optic neuropathy [ 51 ].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of antibiotic and pesticide residues on the physicochemical properties of unifloral and multifloral honey. The mineral elements content of honey was analyzed and correlated with antibiotic and pesticide residues, and a positive correlation was found between manganese and neonicotinoids. Potassium was found to be the most abundant mineral compound. Correlations were found between mineral content, color, and the content of antibiotic and pesticide residues of honey. In meadow honey, residues of antibiotics and pesticides were undetectable. In some of the other types of honey, the maximum residue limits regulated by European legislation were exceeded. Endosulfan residue was found in mint and rapeseed, honey with 0.42 and 5.14 ng/g, respectively. Neonicotinoids were found in 27% of the analyzed honey samples. Chloramphenicol was identified only in rapeseed honey, with concentrations ranging from 0.2 ng/g to 0.8 ng/g. Nitrofurans were found in 14%, and nitroimidazoles were found in 6% of the analyzed samples. According to EU legislation that is in force, the use of antibiotics in beekeeping is not allowed. The MRLs for neonicotinoids are 50 ng/g, and for coumaphos, the maximum limit is 100 ng/g. For the other pesticide residues, the maximum limit is 10 ng/g. The results of statistical analysis obtained using principal component analysis (PCA) showed a major difference in the levels of contamination of raspberry and meadow honey and the other types of honey.

“…In contrast, ORTs were resistant to quinolone, tetracycline, lincosamide, and macrolide [49]. This result is among the important factors affecting ORT treatments, due to the common use of these antibiotics in Iraq as the first choice for treatment [50,51], given that lincomycin, oxytetracycline, and enrofloxacin had good inhibition rates.…”

Background and Aim: The swollen head syndrome (SHS) makes up complex diseases that infect the upper respiratory tract in poultry and causes several economic losses. Furthermore, this syndrome is considered one of the multifactorial etiological agents. Therefore, this study isolated and molecularly detected Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) in poultry. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at 67 broiler farms that had birds observed to be infected with the SHS from September 2018 until August 2019. Subsequently, swabs were collected from their trachea, infraorbital sinuses, and lungs, after which obtained samples were treated through two methods: (a) The direct method, by uploading samples on FTA cards, and the indirect method using a transport media. Afterward, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to analyze the directly treated samples; howeverAQ1, the culture method, followed by PCR, was used to analyze the indirectly treated samples. Next, a partial 16S RNA gene was isolated using four positive PCR products, after which the effect of 16 antibiotics was studied on the seven local ORT strains isolated. Results: The quantity of ORT isolated using the direct method was 28 (41.7%) samples, which were all positive for the strain. Identification was by direct molecular identification (RT-PCR) from samples loaded on FTA cards. Alternatively, 7 (10.4%) ORTs were detected from the indirect method, as obtained using the culture method and biochemical tests. Then, PCR was subsequently used to confirm the results. As observed, 784 bp bands were shown for all seven ORT isolates. Furthermore, results revealed a significant difference in the detection of ORT strains between direct and indirect methods, with p-value (<0.05) and standard deviation of the error ±0.038 for the direct, then ±0.061 for the indirect method. For further analysis on the strain types, four 784 bp PCR products were taken, then partial 16S ribosomal sequence typing was conducted. All these four strains were found to be recorded in NCBI for the 1st time as a local Iraqi strain, with accession numbers (MN931657, MN931656, MN931655, and MN931654). Notably, results also showed that all isolated strains were multidrug-resistant. Conclusion: From the results, ORT is proposed to be implicated as one of the etiological factors that cause SHSs in poultry. Phylogenetic analysis of the current ORT bacterial strains also showed that they are closely related to the Egyptian isolates.

“…Fecal contamination of carcasses is the principal way by which antibiotic residues and potentially resistant enteric pathogens like Escherichia coli, Campylobacter spp., and Salmonella spp. reach the food chain in the case of meat (Al-Mashhadany, 2019). Antibiotics are important to farmers and due to the major role played in livestock production, some farmers in Ghana frequently administer them without following the authorized dosages, application timings, or withdrawal periods (Afakye et al, 2019;Abass et al, 2020;Ekli et al, 2020).…”

Farmers play an important role in meat, introducing antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and antibiotic residues. This study assessed farmers’ knowledge and perception of microbiological meat safety, antibiotic resistance, and antibiotic residues. A total of 138 farmers were randomly interviewed. Data collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences, and results were presented in tables and figures. Almost 99% of the farmers were men, and most were between the ages of 41-60 (59%) years. The farmers (49%) had more than 10 years of experience in farming, and COVID-19 negatively affected (61%) their farming operations, especially in terms of feed costs (52%). The farmers were aware of microbiological meat safety (67%) and heard about it mostly from extension officers (67%). The majority of the farmers (63%) knew that animals carry bacteria in/on them and these bacteria can be transferred onto meats and cause foodborne diseases. The farmers heard about antibiotic resistance (69%) from extension officers (53%) and had ever used antibiotics for the treatment of sick animals (45%), as growth promoters (35%) and as prophylactics (12%). Most (63%) of the farmers had not heard about antibiotic residues, and those who had heard about antibiotic residues heard of it from veterinary officers (45%), extension officers (41%) and the media (14%). The majority of the farmers had heard about microbiological meat safety and antibiotic resistance, but few had heard about antibiotic residues. Education of farmers on antibiotic residues is recommended.
