Propionibacterium freudenreichii freudenreichii B3523 reduces cecal colonization and internal organ dissemination of multidrug-resistant Salmonella Heidelberg in finishing turkeys

Lipase and Esterase Activities of Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. freudenreichii.

The lipase and esterase activities of eight strains of dairy Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. freudenreichii were studied. A lipase activity was detected on whole cells and in the culture supernatant. The highest activity was expressed at 45 degrees C and pH 6.8. An esterase activity was also detected in the culture medium. The electrophoresis of the intracellular fractions of the cells ...

Utilization of coenzyme A by Propionibacterium freudenreichii.

Aminopeptidase activities of Propionibacterium freudenreichii dairy isolates

This study was undertaken to achieve more information on the aminopeptidase activities expressed in Propionibacterium freudenreichii strains naturally occurring in milk and dairy products. Fifty four strains belonging to both subspecies freudenreichii and shermanii were analyzed for activity towards different amino acyl β-naphthylamide (βNA) derivatives. The ability to efficiently hydrolyze ami...

Enhanced Propionate Formation by Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. freudenreichii in a Three-Electrode Amperometric Culture System.

In order to influence the fermentation pattern of Propionibacterium freudenreichii towards enhanced propionate formation, growth and product formation with glucose and lactate as energy sources were studied in a three-electrode poised-potential amperometric culture system. With anthraquinone 2,6-disulfonic acid (E(0)' = -184 mV; poised electron potential = -224 mV) or cobalt sepulchrate (E(0)' ...

Characterization of a Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Heidelberg Outbreak Strain in Commercial Turkeys: Colonization, Transmission, and Host Transcriptional Response

In recent years, multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg (S. Heidelberg) has been associated with numerous human foodborne illness outbreaks due to consumption of poultry. For example, in 2011, an MDR S. Heidelberg outbreak associated with ground turkey sickened 136 individuals and resulted in 1 death. In response to this outbreak, 36 million pounds of ground turkey wer...
