Pathogenic traits of Salmonella Montevideo in experimental infections in vivo and in vitro
نویسندگان
چکیده
Salmonella serovar Montevideo (SM) is frequently associated with human Salmonella infections and causes gastrointestinal disease, cases are common particularly among individuals who come in close contact with live poultry or poultry meat products. To characterize SM disease in chickens, the pathogenic traits and tissue predilections of the disease were investigated. Dissemination of fluorescent-tagged SM (JOL1575GFP) was monitored after oral and intramuscular mock infections of specific-pathogen-free chickens. The spleen was predominantly affected by intramuscular infection while the cecum, spleen, and minimally liver were affected by oral infection. No conspicuous illness was observed in infected birds, and histopathological examination showed minimal damage of the intestinal epithelium and splenic parenchyma though SM was readily isolated from these tissues. Levels of SM internalization by primary chicken peritoneal macrophages were similar to that of Salmonella Typhimurium. SM was more sensitive to chicken than rabbit serum complement killing. Internal egg contamination of SM mock infected layers also occurred at trace levels and lasted for a week after inoculation. This study also confirmed that SM infection in chickens is sub-clinical and asymptomatic, which suggests that latent asymptomatic carriers may excrete a large number of bacteria and transmit the pathogen by contaminating water or food sources.

بررسی میزان مقاومت به نالیدیکسیک اسید در سالمونلاهای تیفوئیدی و غیرتیفوئیدی جدا شده از بیماران بستری در یک دوره یکساله 85-1384
Background & Aim: Nalidixic acid is a quinolone antibiotic with excellent in vitro and in vivo activity against salmonella. It is often the first choice for treating drug resistance salmonella infections. Nalidixic acid resistance can often lead to resistance to fluoroquinolones such as ciprofloxacin. In this survey the extent of salmonella infections, the salmonella strains involved, antib...

The influences of the relative humidity (RH) and storage temperature on the colonization of tomato surfaces by Salmonella Montevideo were studied. Red, ripe tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) were spot inoculated in three separate trials with 100 pl (approximately 10(6) CFU) of Salmonella Montevideo and stored for 90 min at 22 degrees C under 97% RH to facilitate attachment of cells to the blos...

Background: Salmonellosis is a gastroenteritis caused by the infection with different serotypes of Salmonella. Salmonella enterica is an enterica subtype, enteritidis, typhimurium, and infantis are the most important factors of gastroenteritis in humans. In recent years, increasingly commonly used antibiotics and treatments are resistant. The main purpose of this study was to compare the antiba...
