  4. In vivo and in vitro evaluation of tissue colonization and survival capacity of Salmonella Oranienburg in laying hens

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTSalmonella enterica serovar Oranienburg (SO) was linked to a human salmonellosis outbreak in the Midwest in 2015 and 2016 from consumption of eggs. However, unlike Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE), little is known regarding the potential of SO to colonize in laying hens and contaminate eggs. We used in vivo and in vitro models to evaluate tissue colonization and survival capacity of SO.

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTThe present study was conducted to estimate the apparent prevalence of Salmonella spp. in free-ranging waterfowl that inhabitant Entre Ríos, Argentina, determine the antimicrobial resistance of the isolated, and compare the performance of two selective plating media used for Salmonella isolation. Five hundred ninety nine free-living waterfowl were sampled one time by cloacal swab from April 2014 to July 2016.

  13. Response to a Salmonella Enteritidis challenge in old laying hens with different vaccination histories

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTExtending the laying period of laying hens is beneficial for economic and sustainability purposes. Because vaccines were designed with a shorter laying period envisaged, it is unclear whether current Salmonella vaccines can provide sufficient levels of protection against infection at an older age.

  14. Efficacy of Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis and Repetitive Element Sequence-Based PCR in Typing of Salmonella Isolates from Assam, India [Epidemiology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • A total of 12 Salmonella isolates belonging to different serovars, viz., Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (n = 4), Salmonella enterica serovar Weltevreden (n = 4), Salmonella enterica serovar Newport (n = 1), Salmonella enterica serovar Litchifield (n = 1), and untypeable strains (n = 2) were isolated from 332 diarrheic fecal samples collected from animals, birds, and humans.

  15. Phylogenetic Characterization of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium and Its Monophasic Variant Isolated from Food Animals in Japan Revealed Replacement of Major Epidemic Clones in the Last 4 Decades [Clinical Veterinary Microbiology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salmonella Typhimurium) and its monophasic variant (Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:–) are the major causes of gastroenteritis in both humans and animals. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis have been used widely as subtyping methods for these pathogens in molecular epidemiological analyses, but the results do not precisely reflect phylogenetic information.

  16. Absence of Receptor Guanylyl Cyclase C Enhances Ileal Damage and Reduces Cytokine and Antimicrobial Peptide Production during Oral Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Infection [Host Response and Inflammation]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Nontyphoidal Salmonella disease contributes toward significant morbidity and mortality across the world. Host factors, including gamma interferon, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and gut microbiota, significantly influence the outcome of Salmonella pathogenesis. However, the entire repertoire of host protective mechanisms contributing to Salmonella pathogenicity is not completely appreciated.

  17. Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Increases Functional PD-L1 Synergistically with Gamma Interferon in Intestinal Epithelial Cells via Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 2 [Host Response and Inflammation]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Nontyphoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica are pathogenic bacteria that are common causes of food poisoning. Whereas Salmonella mechanisms of host cell invasion, inflammation, and pathogenesis are mostly well established, a new possible mechanism of immune evasion is being uncovered. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an immunosuppressive membrane protein that binds to activated T cells via their PD-1 receptor and thereby halts their activation.

  18. The Ethanolamine Permease EutH Promotes Vacuole Adaptation of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes during Macrophage Infection [Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Ethanolamine is a ubiquitous and essential molecule within a host. Significantly, bacterial pathogens exploit ethanolamine during infection to promote growth and regulate virulence. The ethanolamine permease EutH is dispensable for growth in vitro under standard conditions, whereas EutH is required for ethanolamine utilization at low pH. These findings suggested a model in which EutH facilitates diffusion of ethanolamine into the bacterial cell in acidic environments.

  19. Plant-Microbe and Abiotic Factors Influencing Salmonella Survival and Growth on Alfalfa Sprouts and Swiss Chard Microgreens [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Microgreens, like sprouts, are relatively fast-growing products and are generally consumed raw. Moreover, as observed for sprouts, microbial contamination from preharvest sources may also be present in the production of microgreens. In this study, two Salmonella enterica serovars (Hartford and Cubana), applied at multiple inoculation levels, were evaluated for survival and growth on alfalfa sprouts and Swiss chard microgreens by using the most-probable-number (MPN) method.
