salmonella spp. are important food borne pathogens worldwide that frequently infect poultry flocks. this cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of salmonella spp. colonization in broiler flocks in shiraz (southern iran) and to find the possible association of infection status with some potential risk factors including vaccination program and use of antibiotics. during o...

Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovar Typhimurium and Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovar Enteritidis are the major dominating serotypes of Salmonella in poultry and poultry products. Infection by Salmonella Typhimurium is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in poultry. Rapid differentiation of Salmonella Typhimurium from other Salmonella serotypes including Salmonella Enter...

AIM This study aimed at determining the serotypes, antimicrobial profiles, and public health importance of Salmonella strains from camels slaughtered at Maiduguri central abattoir, Nigeria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred samples were obtained from camel comprising of intestines, feces, liver, and spleen (n=50 each). Non-lactose fermenting dark center Salmonella colonies were identified usi...

Nontyphoidal Salmonella infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains are of great public health concern. We compared the phenotypic and genotypic relationships among temporally and spatially related AMR Salmonella isolates (n=1058) representing several predominant serovars, including Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Typhimurium var. 5-, Salmonella Derby, Salmonella Heidelberg, S...

Dairy cows may serve as asymptomatic carriers of Salmonella. The potential for herd carrier status increases with herd size, and Salmonella shedding may be triggered by stresses placed on the animals. The scope of the current study is to determine the effects lactation may have on Salmonella genotypic diversity among detected serotypes. Fecal samples were collected on two sampling dates from 60...

background: poultry and poultry products are among the major sources of salmonella infections for humans. increasing occurrence of antimicrobial resistance among salmonellae has become a serious public health concern. the detection of extended spectrum b-lactamase (esbl) producers among salmonella spp. has increased in recent years. objectives: the purpose of this study was to investigate the a...

salmonellosis is one of the most important zoonotic diseases worldwide. salmonella infections in wild birds are reported frequently. the objectives of this study were to isolate salmonella serovars from a large collection of samples obtained from pet birds in tehran, iran, and then to determine the serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the isolates. between october 2007 and augu...

Autophagy is a process whereby a double-membrane structure (autophagosome) engulfs unnecessary cytosolic proteins, organelles, and invading pathogens and delivers them to the lysosome for degradation. We examined the fate of cytosolic Salmonella targeted by autophagy and found that autophagy-targeted Salmonella present in the cytosol of HeLa cells correlates with intracellular bacterial replica...

BACKGROUND In low resource settings, Salmonella serovars frequently cause bloodstream infections. This study investigated the diagnostic performance of immunochromatographic rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), which detect Salmonella antigens, when applied to stored grown blood culture broth. MATERIAL/METHODS The SD Bioline One Step Salmonella Typhi Ag Rapid Detection Kit (Standard Diagnostics, Re...
