Characterization and Control of Salmonella Environmental Contamination in A Food Animal Facility

The long-term Goal of the project is to develop on-farminterventions to decreasetransmission of Salmonella between food animal species.TheObjectives of the project are to: (1) trace proximal movement of Salmonella species amoung the Auburn University Collge of Veterinary Medicine's equine, beef, and dairy barns, along with associated pastures and natural water sources; (2) use bacteriophages isolated from samples described inObjective 1 to naturally control Salmonella in a contaminated environment.
