Ten isolates were isolated from 150 specimens one of them from CSF and one isolate isolated from blood samples the others isolated from food specimens 6 isolates isolated from sausage and 2 from raw vegetables. Isolates were identified traditionally involved culture methods based on selective enrichment and plating followed by the characterization of Listeria spp. based on colony morphology, sugar fermentation and haemolytic properties, identification by Api listeria was done. Determine the isolates that produce biofilm by tissue culture plate method. The highest biofilm forming strains ofListeria monocytogenes isolates appear in No. (D10, El, E5 and E7) OD reading each of them is (0.13, 0.09, 0.11 and 0.19) respectively, the lowest or poor biofilm forming strains appear in No. (D11, D12, E2, E3, E4 and E6) that optical density (OD) reading are (0.04, 0.03, 0.05, 0.04, 0.05 and 0.03) respectively by comparing with control prepared in well (A12) that stained by crystal violate without putting any isolates and the OD reading is (0.003). Confirmation by PCR was done only for four isolates that produce biofilm (D10 and El) that obtained from CSF and blood sample and for (E5 and E7) that obtained from food samples.展开更多

The healthy and balanced diet preferences of people play an important role in each human life parts. Especially milk and dairy products are necessary for human health because of their nutrition value and body functions. One of the parts of people life is university life. Starting university is a turning point in terms of eating habits, since food choices responsibility of university students increases in this period. According to the researches, increasing availability of fast foods, changes in living arrangements, life experiences, expectations, preferences and beliefs related with food selections are most common reasons regarding dietary choices in this young adults group. University students had drinking milk habits in primary school but most of them lose their habits during university life. The students' first preferences were cheese and then yogurt and finally milk. A very little part of university students consume milk and dairy products regularly. The consumption habits and milk and dairy product catering of university students were examined. The consumption preferences of milk and dairy products of the students in different Universities are reviewed in this review.展开更多
