  11. Staphylococcus aureus related to bovine mastitis in Switzerland: Clonal diversity, virulence gene profiles, and antimicrobial resistance of isolates collected throughout 2017

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Staphylococcus aureus can be associated with subclinical, acute, chronic, and toxic cases of bovine intramammary infections, leading to considerable financial losses for the dairy industry in Switzerland and worldwide. In addition, milk products are one of the most common food categories implicated in staphylococcal food poisoning in humans. Detailed information on the population structure, as well as the virulence and resistance characteristics of Staph.

  12. Characteristics of ripened Tronchón cheese from raw goat milk containing legally admissible amounts of antibiotics

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • The aim of this study was to evaluate the transfer of the most widely used antibiotics in dairy goats from milk to cheese as well as their effect on the cheese-making process and cheese characteristics during ripening. Antibiotic-free milk was spiked individually with 7 veterinary drugs (amoxicillin, benzylpenicillin, cloxacillin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, and oxytetracycline) at an equivalent concentration of the European Union maximum residue limit.

  13. Simultaneous quantitative detection of viable Escherichia coli O157:H7, Cronobacter spp., and Salmonella spp. using sodium deoxycholate-propidium monoazide with multiplex real-time PCR

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Escherichia coli O157:H7, Cronobacter spp., and Salmonella spp. are common food-borne pathogens in milk that may cause serious diseases. In the present study, we established a simple, rapid, and specific method to simultaneously detect viable E. coli O157:H7, Cronobacter spp., and Salmonella spp. in milk. Three specific genes, fliC from E. coli O157:H7, cgcA from Cronobacter spp., and invA from Salmonella spp., were selected and used to design primers and probes.

  14. Evaluation of encapsulated sodium butyrate with varying releasing times on growth performance and necrotic enteritis mitigation in broilers

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTThis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an encapsulated sodium butyrate (Na-B) with targeted releasing times on growth performance and mitigating the impact of necrotic enteritis in broilers. Two Na-B (30% of Na-B content) products, CMA (2 h releasing time) and CMP (3 to 4 h releasing time), were evaluated in a necrotic enteritis challenge model.

  21. Campylobacter coli Clade 3 Isolates Induce Rapid Cell Death In Vitro [Public and Environmental Health Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Campylobacter bacteria are major human enteropathogens. Campylobacter coli shows less genetic diversity than C. jejuni and clusters into three clades, of which clade 1 includes most human and farm animal isolates, while environmental C. coli isolates mainly belong to clades 2 and 3. Recently, we sequenced the whole genomes of eight C.

  22. LysPBC2, a Novel Endolysin Harboring a Bacillus cereus Spore Binding Domain [Genetics and Molecular Biology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • To control the spore-forming human pathogen Bacillus cereus, we isolated and characterized a novel endolysin, LysPBC2, from a newly isolated B. cereus phage, PBC2. Compared to the narrow host range of phage PBC2, LysPBC2 showed very broad lytic activity against all Bacillus, Listeria, and Clostridium species tested.
