Mapping polyclonal antibody responses to infectious diseases to identify individual epitopes has the potential to underpin the development of novel serological assays and vaccines. Here, phage-peptide library panning coupled with screening using next generation sequencing was used to map antibody responses to bacterial infections. In the first instance, pigs experimentally infected with Salmone...

We evaluated the effect of a Lactobacillus-based probiotic culture (FM-B11) for reduction of Salmonella Enteritidis in neonatal broiler chicks. In all experiments, chicks were challenged with approximately 10(4) cfu of Salmonella Enteritidis upon arrival at our laboratory, and the treatments were administered 1 h postchallenge. Cecal tonsil samples were obtained 24 h posttreatment and enriched ...

this study was conducted to detect the presence ofseja gene among salmonella enteritidis isolates from poultry sources by polymerase chain reaction (pf'r) and evaluate its potential as diagnostic and epidemiological tools. thirty salmonella isolates from poultry sources: broilers. broiler breeders, layers, hatcheries, and poultry abattoirs were investigated. upper and forward primers were ...

Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica is a leading cause of bacterial food-borne disease outbreaks worldwide and is also an economic burden particularly in Reunion Island because its population consumes large amounts of chicken and cooks 100% chicken sausages (35 kg per capita per year). The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:...

background: multidrug resistance in salmonella enteritidis isolates is a public health problem worldwide; the present study, therefore, was designed for antimicrobial-resistance determination in this strain. methods: salmonella strains isolated from poultry samples by biochemical positive and negative tests were subjected to pcr and identified as salmonella enteritidis. for detection and identi...

The response of chicken to non-typhoidal Salmonella infection is becoming well characterised but the role of particular cell types in this response is still far from being understood. Therefore, in this study we characterised the response of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) to infection with two different S. Enteritidis strains by microarray analysis. The expression of chicken genes identified...
