  8. Activation of chicken bone marrow-derived dendritic cells induced by a Salmonella Enteritidis ghost vaccine candidate

    • Poultry Science

    • Bacterial Ghost-based vaccine development has been applied to a variety of gram-negative bacteria. Developed Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) ghost are promising vaccine candidates because of their immunogenic and enhanced biosafety potential. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the immunostimulatory effect of a S. Enteritidis ghost vaccine on the maturation of chicken bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (chBM-DCs) in vitro. The immature chBM-DCs were stimulated with S.

  9. Campylobacter jejuni colonization promotes the translocation of Escherichia coli to extra-intestinal organs and disturbs the short-chain fatty acids profiles in the chicken gut

    • Poultry Science

    • For a long time Campylobacter was only considered as a commensal microorganism in avian hosts restricted to the ceca, without any pathogenic features. The precise reasons for the symptomless chicken carriers are still unknown, but investigations of the gastrointestinal ecology of broiler chickens may improve our understanding of the microbial interactions with the host.

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Cells migrate by directing Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) and cell division control protein 42 (Cdc42) activities and by polymerizing actin toward the leading edge of the cell. Previous studies have proposed that this polarization process requires a local positive feedback in the leading edge involving Rac small...

  21. Campylobacter detection in broiler ceca at processing: A three-year, 211-flock survey 1

    • Journal of Applied Poultry Research

    • Campylobacter is associated with live broilers and chicken meat products. There is some discussion in the literature about the possibility that Campylobacter prevalence in broilers could be affected by season or weather conditions. The objective of this study was to measure the flock prevalence of Campylobacter by sampling cecal contents from multiple flocks in one commercial slaughter plant over the course of 3 years.

  22. Surveillance and Molecular typing of Cronobacter spp. in Commercial Powdered Infant Formula and Follow-Up Formula from 2011 to 2013 in Shandong Province, China

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      Background

      Infection with Cronobacter spp. leads to neonatal meningitis, necrotizing enterocolitis and bacteremia. Cronobacter spp. has been reported to be an important pathogen contaminating powdered infant formula (PIF) and Follow-up formula (FUF), but little is known about the contamination level of Cronobacter spp. in PIFs and FUFs in China.

  23. Load and Prevalence of Antimicrobial-Resistant Escherichia coli from Fresh Goat Meat in Arusha, Tanzania

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Given the potential public health risks associated with a burgeoning goat meat industry in Tanzania, we estimated the load of Escherichia coli and the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains for goat meat by using a cross-sectional study design (June to July 2015). Five large (n = 60 samples) and five small (n = 64 samples) slaughterhouses were sampled over a period of four to six visits each. Meat rinsate was prepared and plated onto MacConkey agar, and presumptive E.

  24. Characterization of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing Escherichia coli Isolates from Pigs and Farm Workers

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Food-producing animals can serve as reservoirs for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing Escherichia coli. The present study aimed to characterize and compare ESBL-carrying E. coli isolates from both pigs and farm workers. Rectal swabs were obtained from 60 pigs on four pig-fattening farms (15 samples per farm), and rectal swabs were taken from 40 farm workers on these farms (10 samples per farm). ESBL-carrying E.

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) Chapter 4a describes a Luminex microbead–based suspension array used to screen colonies for 11 clinically relevant Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups: O26, O45, O91, O103, O104, O111, O113, O121, O128, O145, and O157. We evaluated the usefulness of this method to identify STEC-positive enrichment samples before agar plating. Twelve E.
