Reduction of Salmonella Enteritidis in the Spleens of Hens by Bacterins That Vary in Fimbrial Protein SefD
The objective of this research was to determine whether variation in the presence of fimbrial protein SefD would impact efficacy of bacterins as measured by recovery of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (Salmonella Enteritidis) from the spleens of hens. Two bacterins were prepared that varied in SefD content. Also, two adjuvants were tested, namely, water-in-oil and aluminum hydroxide gel...
متن کاملVirulence and metabolic characteristics of Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis strains with different sefD variants in hens.
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is one of a few Salmonella enterica serotypes that has SEF14 fimbriae encoded by the sef operon, which consists of 4 cotranscribed genes, sefABCD, regulated by sefR. A parental strain was used to construct a sefD mutant and its complement, and all 3 strains were compared for gene expression, metabolic properties, and virulence characteristics in hens. Tra...
متن کاملMolting in Salmonella enteritidis-challenged laying hens fed alfalfa crumbles. I. Salmonella enteritidis colonization and virulence gene hilA response.
The objectives of this study were to enumerate Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis colonization in fecal, cecal, and internal organs, and to compare the level of virulence gene expression (hilA) of experimentally challenged laying hens fed different dietary molt-induction regimens. Twelve Salmonella-free Single Comb Leghorn hens (>50 wk old) hens were randomly assigned to each of 6 treatmen...
متن کاملEffects of prior coinfection with different Salmonella serovars on the progression of a Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis infection in hens undergoing induced molt.
Four trials were conducted to evaluate whether prior infection with Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium (S. typhimurium) or Salmonella enterica serovar muenchen (S. muenchen) would modify the severity or the transmission of Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis (S. enteritidis) challenge in hens undergoing molt via feed withdrawal. Hens were separated into two groups where one group recei...
متن کاملA comparative study on the colonization of Salmonella enteritidis hilA mutant and its parent strains in laying hens
BACKGROUND: Several regulatory proteins are involved in Salmonella invasion. The key regulator of SPI-1 (Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 ) is hilA, a transcriptional activator encoded on SPI-1 that regulates the expression of the SPI-1 secretion system. OBJECTIVES: Importance of hilA mutation on S. enteritidis colonization and shedding in layer hens was evaluated in a long-term experiment. ME...
