    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Immunochromatographic (IC) assays are considered suitable diagnostic tools for the determination of mycotoxins. A europium nanospheres-based time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (Eu-Nano-TRFIA), based on a monoclonal antibody and a portable TRFIA reader, was developed to determine total aflatoxin (including aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2) levels in feed samples. Under optimized conditions, the Eu-Nano-TRFIA method detected total aflatoxin within 12 min.

  7. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in Eurasian Collared Doves (Streptopelia decaocto) and Retrospective Study of Avian Yersiniosis at the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System (1990–2015)

    • Avian Diseases

    • In February 2015, two Eurasian collared doves (Streptopelia decaocto) were submitted dead to the California Animal Health and Food Safety (CAHFS) Laboratory, Turlock branch, from a private aviary experiencing sudden, high mortality (4/9) in adult doves. In both doves, the gross and histologic lesions were indicative of acute, fatal septicemia. Grossly, there were numerous pale yellow foci, 1 to 2 mm in diameter, in the liver and spleen.

  8. Association of Beta2-Positive Clostridium perfringens Type A With Focal Duodenal Necrosis in Egg-Laying Chickens in the United States

    • Avian Diseases

    • Focal duodenal necrosis (FDN) is a poorly understood intestinal disease of egg layers, and has been associated with drops in egg production and decreased egg weights. The etiology of this disease is still unknown, but the condition has been associated with Clostridium colinum and Clostridium perfringens. In order to investigate the etiology, duodenal samples were taken from hens with FDN. The hens originated from table egg layer farms in three states.

  14. Norovirus Antigen Detection with a Combination of Monoclonal and Single-Chain Antibodies [Virology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • The performance of a norovirus antigen detection assay was assessed using monoclonal antibody NV23 and single-chain antibody HJT-R3-A9 to identify both virus-like particles and virus-containing fecal samples. The detection of 25 different norovirus genotypes as recombinant virus-like particles or in clinical samples was dependent on virus or antigen concentration.

  15. One-Step Identification of Five Prominent Chicken Salmonella Serovars and Biotypes [Clinical Veterinary Microbiology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Based on bacterial genomic data, we developed a one-step multiplex PCR assay to identify Salmonella and simultaneously differentiate the two invasive avian-adapted S. enterica serovar Gallinarum biotypes Gallinarum and Pullorum, and the most frequent, specific, and asymptomatic colonizers of chickens, serovars Enteritidis, Heidelberg, and Kentucky.

  16. Plant Esterase–Chitosan/Gold Nanoparticles–GrapheneNanosheet Composite-Based Biosensor for the Ultrasensitive Detectionof Organophosphate Pesticides

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • As broad-spectrum pesticides, organophosphates (OPs) are widely used in agriculture all over the world. However, due to their neurotoxicity in humans and their increasing occurrence in the environment, there is growing interest in their sensitive and selective detection. This paper reports a new cost-effective plant esterase–chitosan/gold nanoparticles–graphene nanosheet (PLaE-CS/AuNPs-GNs) biosensor for the sensitive detection of methyl parathion and malathion.

  23. Formation of an intramolecular periplasmic disulfide bond in TcpP protects TcpP and TcpH from degradation in Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • TcpP and ToxR coordinately regulate transcription of toxT, the master regulator of numerous virulence factors in Vibrio cholerae. TcpP and ToxR are membrane-localized transcription factors each with a periplasmic domain containing two cysteines. In ToxR these cysteines form an intramolecular disulfide bond and a cysteine to serine substitution affects activity. We determined that the two periplasmic cysteines of TcpP also form an intramolecular disulfide bond.

  24. 2-aminoacrylate stress induces a context-dependent glycine requirement in ridA strains of Salmonella enterica

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The reactive enamine, 2-aminoacrylate (2AA), is a metabolic stressor capable of damaging cellular components. Members of the broadly conserved Rid (RidA/YER057c/UK114) protein family mitigate 2AA stress in vivo by facilitating enamine/imine hydrolysis. Previous work showed that 2AA accumulation in ridA strains of Salmonella enterica led to the inactivation of multiple target enzymes, including serine hydroxymethyltransferase (GlyA).
