چکیده

Swine were infected with Salmonella typhimurium, USDA #295, and treated with virginiamycin medicated feed continuously at a level of 55 g/metric ton for approximately 2 months. The incidence and persistence of shedding of this organism in the feces and in selected tissues were determined. No significant changes in the course of the infection were detected when virginiamycin treated animals were compared to nonmedicated infected controls. (

Anti-quorum sensing effects of Licochalcone A and Epigallocatechin-3-gallate against Salmonella Typhimurium from poultry sources

Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density-dependent mechanism used by many pathogenic bacteria for regulating virulence gene expression. Inhibition or interruption of QS by medicinal plant remedies has been suggested as a new strategy for fighting against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to assess the impact of sub-inhibitory concentrations of licochalcone A (LAA) and epigallocatechi...
