Effect of Environmental Factors on Salmonella Typhimurium Survival in Marine Water Microcosms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of temperature salinity and starvation on the occurrence of Salmonella typhimurium was investigated using laboratory (C52) and a local (H ) Salmonella strains incubated in marine water microcosms and exposed to natural sunlight (48h). Monitoring of growth and survival in microcosms showed a gradual decline in cultivability, respiratory and metabolic activities. For both strains we noted some biochemical and antimicrobial modifications. The virulence of Salmonella was maintained during seawater incubation for the two strains.

Sunlight-mediated disinfection of water is of interest to both the drinking and recreational water quality community of researchers due to its potential to reduce microbial contamination and waterborne illness. Photo-inactivation of enteric bacteria has primarily been investigated using Escherichia coli and laboratory strains of model bacteria. The present study sought to document the photo-ina...
متن کاملResuscitation by ferrioxamine E of stressed Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium from soil and water microcosms.
Storage of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains in soil and water microcosms resulted in loss of culturability on standard plating media. Prior incubation in buffered peptone water supplemented with ferrioxamine E markedly extended the time that bacteria were recoverable by plating, except in the case of mutants deficient in ferrioxamine E uptake.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli were stressed by prolonged incubation in water microcosms until it was no longer possible to observe colony formation when samples were plated on nonselective medium. Overnight incubation of samples in nutrient-rich broth medium supplemented with growth factors, however, allowed resuscitation of stressed and viable b...
متن کاملInfluence of temperature and predation on survival of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and expression of invA in soil and manure-amended soil.
The effects of three temperatures (5, 15, and 25 degrees C) on the survival of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in topsoil were investigated in small microcosms by three different techniques: plate counting, invA gene quantification, and invA mRNA quantification. Differences in survival were related to the effect of protozoan predation. Tetracycline-resistant Salmonella serovar Typhimuri...
متن کاملEffect of Lactobacillus Casei on Hematological and Histopathological Factors in Rats Infected with Salmonella typhimurium
Introduction: Salmonella typhimurium is one of the most important causes of gastrointestinal diseases in humans and animals. Probiotics inhibit pathogens, such as Salmonella Typhimurium by producing antimicrobial compounds. Therefore, this study assessed the protective effect of Lactobacillus casei on hematological factors in rats infected with Salmonella typhimurium with the possibility of sal...
