Salmonella enteritidis PT6: another egg-associated salmonellosis?
Salmonella Enteritidis phage type 6 (PT6) increased dramatically in the United Kingdom during 1997. The sharp rise suggests that PT6 contamination has spread rapidly throughout a basic food commodity; however, the source and food vehicle remain unknown. We present evidence from three outbreaks suggesting a possible link between PT6 and eggs. Poor documentation of the egg supply network continue...
متن کاملMechanisms of egg contamination by Salmonella Enteritidis.
Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) has been the major cause of the food-borne salmonellosis pandemic in humans over the last 20 years, during which contaminated hen's eggs were the most important vehicle of the infection. Eggs can be contaminated on the outer shell surface and internally. Internal contamination can be the result of penetration through the eggshell or by direct contamination of egg con...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Activity of Duck Egg Lysozyme against Salmonella enteritidis
The objective of the study was to investigate antimicrobial activity of native and reduced forms of duck lysozyme (dLz) against Salmonella enteritidis. Moreover, antimicrobial activity of dLz was compared with chicken lysozyme (cLz). The purified dLz was reduced with dithiothreitol. Free SH groups of reduced dLz were trapped with iodoacetamide. Lytic activity against Micrococcus luteus of reduc...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance in Salmonella enteritidis, southern Italy, 1990-1998.
During 1990 to 1998, we identified multidrug-resistant isolates of Salmonella Enteritidis in southern Italy. Plasmids containing class I integrons and codifying for synthesis of extended- spectrum beta-lactamases were detected. Active surveillance for resistance to antimicrobial agents is needed to guard against the possible spread of resistant clones.
متن کاملEgg Quality Assurance Programs and Egg-associated Salmonella Enteritidis Infections, United States
A Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis epidemic in the United States began in 1978, spread to much of the country in the following decade, and began declining in 1996. We examined correlations between annual changes in S. Enteritidis incidence in humans and introductions of egg quality assurance programs (EQAPs) in some states to reduce S. Enteritidis contamination of eggs. Before EQAPs, 62%...
