  2. Effects of preincubation application of low and high frequency ultrasound on eggshell microbial activity, hatchability, supply organ weights at hatch, and chick performance in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) hatching eggs

    • Poultry Science

    • The aim of the current study was to establish the effects of preincubation application of low and high frequency ultrasound on egg weight loss, hatchability, supply organ weights, chick performance, and eggshell microbial activity in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). A total of 630 fresh eggs were randomly divided into 3 groups.

  3. Prevalence and characteristics of Salmonella spp. isolated from commercial layer farms in Korea

    • Poultry Science

    • Salmonellosis is one of the most prevalent foodborne illnesses. The outbreak of this disease is often associated with eggs. In this study, the prevalence and characteristics of Salmonella was surveyed in layer farms in Korea. In addition, the risk factors affecting the prevalence of Salmonella in these farms were also assessed. Of the 32 farms and 67 flocks examined, 19 farms (59.3%) and 34 flocks (50.7%) were observed to be positive for Salmonella contamination.

  4. Persistence of fecal shedding of Salmonella Enteritidis by experimentally infected laying hens housed in conventional or enriched cages

    • Poultry Science

    • Salmonella Enteritidis can be deposited inside eggs laid by infected hens, so the prevalence of this pathogen in commercial egg-producing flocks is an important risk factor for human illness. Opportunities for the introduction, transmission, and persistence of salmonellae in poultry are potentially influenced by flock housing and management systems. Animal welfare concerns have spurred the development of alternatives to traditional cage-based housing.

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Timely accurate diagnosis of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections is important. We evaluated a laboratory-developed real-time PCR (LD-PCR) assay targeting stx1, stx2, and rfbEO157 with 2,386 qualifying stool samples submitted to the microbiology laboratory of a tertiary care pediatric center between July 2011 and December 2013. Broth cultures of PCR-positive samples were tested for Shiga toxins by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (ImmunoCard STAT! enterohemorrhagic E.

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • The antimicrobial efficacy of plant-derived compoundscinnamaldehyde, carvacrol and citral) against Escherichia coli O157:H7 was evaluated during the flume-tank-washing process and subsequent storage of organic leafy greens. Organic baby and mature spinach, and romaine and iceberg lettuce, inoculated with a cocktail of E. coli O157:H7, were washed for 1 or 2 min in 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% concentrations of the compounds and stored at 4C. Pathogen survivors were enumerated on days 0, 1 and 3.

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Vibrios are natural inhabitants of estuarine ecosystems and some species may pose public health problem as agents of sporadic or collective foodborne infections associated with the consumption of fish or shellfish. Samples of raw shrimp (n = 299), fished in coastal areas of the city of Agadir, Morocco, and collected from its fish marketplace, were examined for the presence of pathogenic vibrios.

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Aeromonas hydrophila has been increasingly implicated as the aetiologic agent of various human diseases. Therefore, reliable laboratory detection and identification of this bacterium has become clinically and epidemiologically desirable. We developed a nearly instrument-free, simple molecular method for rapid detection of Aer. hydrophila using a cross-priming amplification (CPA) assay with the desA gene as the target.

  25. Identification of YsaP, the Pilotin of the Yersinia enterocolitica Ysa type III secretion system

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Secretins are multimeric outer membrane pore-forming proteins found in complex export systems in Gram-negative bacteria. All type III secretion systems (T3SSs) have a secretin, and one of these is the YsaC secretin of the chromosomally encoded Ysa T3SS of Yersinia enterocolitica. In some cases pilotin proteins, which are outer membrane lipoproteins, are required for their cognate secretin to multimerize and/or localize into the outer membrane.
