Bacteria in the air of housed Swine units.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two housed, swine-growing-finishing units were studied for numbers of total bacteria, fecal coliforms, Staphylococcus, and Salmonella in the air. At 30.5 and 122 cm from the floor, total colony-forming particles, as tested, averaged 3.4 x 10 and 1.3 x 10/m of air, respectively; whereas fecal coliform counts averaged 24 x 10 and 1.9 x 10/m of air, respectively. Only 41% of the organisms growing on Staphylococcus 110 medium tested as Staphylococcus. Of 458 Staphylococcus isolates, 5 were coagulase-positive. No Salmonella were detected in the air of the units tested.

متن کاملEfficacy of the Boar-Operated-System to deliver baits to feral swine.
Feral swine (Sus scrofa) pose a significant disease threat to livestock and humans. Emerging technologies to reduce feral swine disease transmission risks include fertility control, vaccination, and toxicants.

متن کاملAirborne Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria Isolated from a Concentrated Swine Feeding Operation
The use of nontherapeutic levels of antibiotics in swine production can select for antibiotic resistance in commensal and pathogenic bacteria in swine. As a result, retail pork products, as well as surface and groundwaters contaminated with swine waste, have been shown to be sources of human exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, it is unclear whether the air within swine operation...
