Exploitation of new approach to control of environmental pathogenic bacteria causing bovine clinical mastitis using novel anti-biofilm nanocomposite.

Exploitation of new approach to control of environmental pathogenic bacteria causing bovine clinical mastitis using novel anti-biofilm nanocomposite. Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2020 Jul 28;: Authors: Mohammed AN, Radi AM, Khaled R, Abo El-Ela FI, Kotp AA Abstract New approaches are required for prevention and control of biofilm-producing bacteria and consequently mitigating the health problems of bovine clinical mastitis. This work designed to determine prevalence rates of biofilm-producing bacteria that causing bovine clinical mastitis and evaluate the anti-biofilm effectiveness of novel nanocomposite of zinc-aluminum layered double hydroxide intercalated with gallic acid (GA) as chelating agent (Zn-Al LDH/GA) on the prevention and control of environmental pathogenic bacteria; Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), besides Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) and assess the ability to use as an antimicrobial agent, and/or sanitizer for milking equipment. All samples (n = 230) involved clinical mastitis cow's milk (n = 50) beside environmental samples (n = 180) were collected then examined for isolation and identification of bacterial pathogens. Zn-Al LDH/GA nanocomposite was synthesized using co-precipitation method, then characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR); X-ray diffraction (XRD)...
