  13. Effect of high-oxygen and oxygen-free modified atmosphere packaging on the spoilage process of poultry breast fillets

    • Poultry Science

    • A comparison was made of the effect of atmospheres containing high oxygen (70% O2 and 30% CO2) or high nitrogen (70% N2 and 30% CO2) on the spoilage process during storage (at 4°C) of poultry fillets. Four samples of each gas atmosphere were analyzed at 7 sample points during storage.

  14. Administration of a Salmonella Enteritidis {Delta}hilAssrAfliG strain by coarse spray to newly hatched broilers reduces colonization and shedding of a Salmonella Enteritidis challenge strain

    • Poultry Science

    • Consumption of contaminated poultry meat is still an important cause of Salmonella infections in humans. Colonization inhibition (CI) occurs when a live Salmonella strain is administered to chickens and subsequently protects against challenge with another Salmonella strain belonging to the same serotype.

  15. Selection for pro-inflammatory mediators produces chickens more resistant to Eimeria tenella

    • Poultry Science

    • We recently developed a novel selection method based on identification and selection of chickens with an inherently high and low phenotype of pro-inflammatory mediators, including interleukin (IL)-6, CXCLi2, and CCLi2. The resultant high line of chickens is more resistant to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (Salmonella Enteritidis) compared to the low line.

  17. Invading slugs (Arion vulgaris) can be vectors for Listeria monocytogenes

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Aims
      Listeriosis is a frequent silage-associated disease in ruminants. The slugs Arion vulgaris are invaders in gardens, vegetable crops and meadows for silage production. Field and laboratory studies were conducted to clarify whether slugs could host Listeria monocytogenes and thereby constitute a threat to animal feed safety.

  23. A BTP1 prophage gene present in invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella determines composition and length of the O-antigen of the LPS

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Salmonella Typhimurium isolate D23580 represents a recently identified ST313 lineage of invasive non-Typhoidal Salmonellae (iNTS). One of the differences between this lineage and other non-iNTS S. Typhimurium isolates is the presence of prophage BTP1. This prophage encodes a gtrC gene, implicated in O-antigen modification. GtrCBTP1 is essential for maintaining O-antigen length in isolate D23580, since a gtrBTP1 mutant yields a short O-antigen.

  24. The Campylobacter jejuni CprRS two-component regulatory system regulates aspects of the cell envelope

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of food-borne gastroenteritis in humans. It lives commensally in the gastrointestinal tract of animals, and tolerates variable conditions during transit/colonization of susceptible hosts. The C. jejuni CprRS two-component system contains an essential response regulator (CprR), and deletion of the cprS sensor kinase enhances biofilms. We sought to identify CprRS-regulated genes and better understand how the system affects survival.

  25. Cj1386, an atypical hemin-binding protein, mediates hemin trafficking to KatA in Campylobacter jejuni

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Catalase enzymes detoxify H2O2 by the dismutation of H2O2 into O2 and H2O through the use of hemin cofactors. While the structure and biochemical properties of catalase enzymes have been well characterized over many decades of research, it remained unclear how catalases acquire hemin. We have previously reported that Cj1386 is essential for ensuring proper hemin content in Campylobacter jejuni catalase (KatA).
