Isolation and Characterization of Lytic Phage against Salmonella Typhimurium

Isolation and characterization of a phage active against streptomyces griseus

Isolation and Detection of Virulence factors of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis

Plasmids play an important role in the virulence and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella. Salmonella carry plasmids having different size and number. Plasmid profile analysis of single isolates of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis revealed the presence of 4- plasmid profiles. Salmonella serovars produce several Type III secretions including Sop-E and Sop –B. Soap E is detected b...

Isolation and Characterization of Lytic Bacteriophages from Wastewater against Listeria monocytogenes

Background and Aims: In the current study, two bacteriophages were isolated from the wastewater sources and characterized by lytic activity against the Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) bacterium. Materials and Methods:  50 wastewater samples were collected from the disposal sites. The phages were isolated from the treated samples using the double agar overlay method with L. monocytoge...

COMPARATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF PORINS FROM SALMONELLA TYPHIO-901 AND SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM RA-30

Porins from Salmonella typhi 0-901 and Salmonella typhimurium Ra-30 were characterized and compared. The elution profile of porins from these salmonella species on Sepharose-48 and HPLC appear to be very similar. The findings were confirmed by the electrophoretic pattern which showed three types of porins, i.e. OmpC, OmpD and OmpF in both species. These porins appear to be similar, if not ...

An outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium phage

Salmonella sp. are important causes of foodborne illness, with restaurants and catered functions being commonly reported settings for outbreaks. In June 2005 an investigation commenced following reports of gastrointestinal illness in attendees at luncheons catered by an Adelaide café, as well as persons eating at the café itself. The investigation sought to determine the existence of an outbrea...
