    • Journal of Microbiological Methods

    • Author(s): Julio C. Ayala, Jorge A. Benitez, Anisia J. Silva

      Abstract

      We describe a proteomic approach to identify transcription factors binding to a target promoter. The method's usefulness was tested by identifying proteins binding to the Vibrio cholerae rpoS promoter in response to cell density. Proteins identified in this screen included the nucleoid-associated protein Fis and the quorum sensing regulator HapR.

  15. The impact of Bacillus subtilis DSM 32315 on the pathology, performance, and intestinal microbiome of broiler chickens in a necrotic enteritis challenge

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACT It was hypothesized that dietary inclusion of Bacillus subtilis DSM 32315 could inhibit Clostridium perfringens induced necrotic enteritis (NE), thereby improving broiler performance. Male, d 0 chicks were randomly assigned 14 birds/pen, 11 pens/treatment in 3 treatments: a basal diet (control), a coccidiostat fed control (Narasin), and a direct fed microbial (DFM) B. subtilis DSM 32315 treatment.

  16. The protective effects of modified palygorskite on the broilers fed a purified zearalenone-contaminated diet

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACT This study was conducted to evaluate the protective effects of dietary modified palygorskite (Pal) supplementation on broiler chickens fed a purified zearalenone (ZEN)-contaminated diet. A total of 144 1-day-old male chicks were allocated to one of the 3 treatments, with each treatment being composed of 6 replicates of 8 birds each.

  17. Evaluation of Drinking Water Antimicrobial Interventions on Water Usage, Feed Consumption, and Salmonella Retention in Broilers Following Feed and Water Withdrawal1

    • The Journal of Applied Poultry Research

    • SUMMARY A series of experiments were conducted to measure the effects of adding antimicrobials for 2 d: cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), hydrogen peroxide (HP), and/or sodium bisulfate (SB) to water drinker lines of market-age broilers on water usage, feed consumption, and inoculated Salmonella retention during feed and water withdrawal.

  18. Prevalence and Characterization of Plasmid Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes and Class 1 Integrons Among Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates from Chicken Meat

    • The Journal of Applied Poultry Research

    • SUMMARY The increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli, which may have been caused by indiscriminate use of antimicrobial agents in humans and animals, has become a serious threat to public health. This study was screened MDR-E. coli isolates from chicken meat in Korea for the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes and class 1 integrons to determine the correlation between PMQR genes and class 1 integrons.

  19. A Color-conscious Diagnosis

    • Clinical Infectious Diseases

    • A 36-year-old man from Russia was admitted with disseminated extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis. He had clinical, radiological, and microbiological evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculosis meningitis. Culture of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis from his cerebrospinal fluid revealed it to be XDR.

  20. Molecular Characterization of Equine Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Exhibiting Reduced Oxacillin Susceptibility

    • Toxins

    • The detection of borderline oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (BORSA) represents a challenge to both, veterinary and human laboratories. Between 2015 and 2017, 19 equine S. aureus with elevated minimal inhibitory concentrations for oxacillin were detected in routine diagnostics. The aim of this study was to characterize these isolates to identify factors possibly associated with the BORSA phenotype. All S.
