Comparison of 2-day-old and 14-day-old chicken colonization models forCampylobacter jejuni

Caprylic acid supplemented in feed reduces enteric Campylobacter jejuni colonization in ten-day-old broiler chickens.

Campylobacter is one of the leading causes of human foodborne illness in the United States, and epidemiological evidence indicates that poultry and poultry products are a significant source of human Campylobacter infections. Reducing Campylobacter in the intestinal tract would reduce contamination of poultry products and eggs. Caprylic acid, an 8-carbon medium-chain fatty acid has been shown to...

Cholecystokinin-8 activates myenteric neurons in 21- and 35-day old but not 4- and 14-day old rats.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) activates the myenteric neurons of adult rats. The goal of this work is to determine the ontogeny of this activation by CCK-8 in the myenteric plexus of the duodenum (2cm immediately following the pyloric sphincter aborally) and compare it with that of the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) - which occurs in 1-day old pups. Despite the existence of both of the CCK receptors, CCK(1...

Planktonic and biofilm communities from 7-day-old chicken cecal microflora cultures: characterization and resistance to Salmonella colonization.

Information implicating bacterial biofilms as contributory factors in the development of environmental bacterial resistance has been increasing. There is a lack of information regarding the role of biofilms within the microbial ecology of the gastrointestinal tract of food animals. This work used a continuous-flow chemostat model derived from the ceca of 7-day-old chicks to characterize these c...

stability and attraction domains of traffic equilibria in day-to-day dynamical system formulation

در این پژوهش مسئله واگذاری ترافیک را از دید سیستم های دینامیکی فرمول بندی می کنیم.فرض کرده ایم که همه فاکتورهای وابسته در طول زمان ثابت باشند و تعادل کاربر را از طریق فرایند منظم روزبه روز پیگیری کنیم.دینامیک ترافیک توسط یک نگاشت بازگشتی نشان داده می شود که تکامل سیستم در طول زمان را نشان می دهد.پایداری تعادل و دامنه جذب را توسط مطالعه ویژگی های توپولوژیکی تکامل سیستم تجزیه و تحلیل می کنیم.پاید...
