Five hundred and sixty Salmonella isolates belonging to 42 serovars were tested for antimicrobial resistance with ATBVET. The strains were collected from poultry, pigs, animal feed, and several other sources during two-year period (2000-2001). The survey showed the recent trends in Salmonella antimicrobial resistance. A frequency of the isolation of resistant strains has been increasing. A high...

Multidrug resistance is a global public health problem. In 2017, in Mexico, Salmonella caused 192,771 foodborne zoonosis cases. Sonora, Hidalgo, Mexico State and Jalisco have reports of multi-resistant strains chicken beef carcasses slaughterhouses; however, the prevalence livestock herds unknown. From January 2012 to October 2013, 144 diarrheal stool samples were collected from bovine hatchlin...

BACKGROUND Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum (S. Pullorum) causes Pullorum disease (PD), a severe systemic disease of poultry and results in considerable economic losses in developing countries. In order to develop a safe and immunogenic vaccine, the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of S06004ΔSPI2, a Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI2) deleted mutant of S. Pullorum was evaluated i...

We describe a rare case of a 53-year-old man with a long history of alcohol abuse, with Enterococcus gallinarum meningitis, an organism that rarely causes human infection and is primarily found in the gastrointestinal tract of poultry. The patient improved with high-dose ampicillin and gentamicin therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first Brazilian reported case of E. gallinarum meningitis an...

Evidence suggests that the transmission of shared parasites from ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus), specifically the caecal nematode Heterakis gallinarum, may be 1 cause of the decline of the gray partridge (Perdix perdix) in the United Kingdom (UK) over the past 50 years. It may be a factor preventing the recovery of the remaining wild gray partridge populations. Trials were undertak...

Controlling Salmonella in integrated broiler operation is complicated because there are numerous potential sources of Salmonella contamination, including chicks, feed, rodents, wild poultry operations, and the processing plant. The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of Salmonella through all phases of two integrated broiler operations and to determine the key areas rela...
