Commercially laid eggs vs. discarded hatching eggs: contamination by Salmonella spp

Salmonella enterica is frequently associated with outbreaks of human salmonellosis, and products of avian origin, such as eggs and chicken meat, are the main vehicles of its transmission. The present study describes the occurrence of different serovars of Salmonella enterica and phagotypes of S. enterica serovar Enteritidis in eggs destined for human consumption. Four thousand eggs obtained fro...

Bactericidal Treatment of Hatching Eggs Iv. Hydrogen Peroxide Applied with Vacuum and a Surfactant to Eliminate Salmonella from Hatching Eggs

Bacteria (including salmonellae) can be pulled into and through the shell and membrane of broiler hatching eggs as they cool. When this occurs, salmonellae are out of reach of a surfaceapplied chemical treatment, because direct contact is usually required to achieve a kill. Over many years of research, a large number of disinfectant chemicals have been tested on hatching eggs. We have found H2O...

ANNEX C, Initial Contamination of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs

Association between indoor environmental contamination by Salmonella enterica and contamination of eggs on layer farms.

This study involves longitudinal and point-in-time surveys of Salmonella carriage and environmental contamination on two commercial cage layer farms positive for Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (flock A age, 32 weeks; flock B age, 34 weeks). Salmonella-positive fecal, egg belt, and dust samples were all unconditionally associated with eggshells testing positive for Salmo...
