The prevalence of Salmonella spp. in non-diarrhoeic cats across Trinidad was determined. The serovars of Salmonella spp. isolated were identified and the resistance to eight antimicrobial agents was determined. Of the 94 cats sampled 2 (2.1%) were positive for Salmonella spp. with two serovars identified: S. Johannesburg and a serovar belonging to Group C1. Only 1 isolate was resistant. It was ...

background and objectives: salmonella is an important food-borne pathogen in humans. strains of salmonella spp. that producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases have become a concern in medicine regarding both antimicrobial treatment and infection control program. the objective of this study was to describe the antibiotic susceptibility, esbl production and determining the prevalence of the bla ct...

To investigate the possibility to carry pathogen bacteria in turkey flocks via cryopreserved semen, research was carried out 1) to investigate the microbial contamination of fresh and frozen thawed turkey semen and 2) to evaluate the effect of the freezing-thawing process on the survival of 3 serovars of Salmonella spp. experimentally inoculated in turkey semen. Five pools of semen diluted 4-fo...

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern for public and animal health. Threats to public health could come from the transfer of pathogens from animals to people via indirect contact such as through food or by direct contact with animals. In addition, concern has been raised for the potential transfer of resistance determinants from animals to humans through commensal bacterial flora such a...

conclusions bacterial resistance against chlorhexidine is increasing. sub-mic doses of chlorhexidine digluconate can stimulate the formation of biofilm strains. materials and methods forty clinical isolates of escherichia coli, salmonella serotypes, staphylococcus. aureus and streptococcus agalactiae (10 isolates for each) were examined for chlorhexidine digluconate effects on biofilm formation...

the purpose of this study was to survey infections with salmonella spp. in poultry flocks in the vicinity of tehran and to determine the most frequent serogroups and serotypes implicated. twenty-eight samples of pullet, layer, and broiler flocks were randomly collected (n=1463), including freshly dropped feces from live birds or visceral organs from dead birds. in most flocks, 60 samples were t...

AIM This study was carried out to determine the prevalence, distribution, and identification of Salmonella serotypes in diarrheagenic infants and young animals, including sewage waste and fresh vegetables. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 550 samples were processed for the isolation of Salmonella spp., using standard microbiological and biochemical tests. Further polymerase chain reaction (PC...

Salmonella spp. was analyzed in beef and chicken and in beef hamburgers using two different microbiological methods with slight modifications in the biochemical test stage. Of the 80 hamburger samples analyzed, 22 (27.5%) were positive for Salmonella spp., 10 (12.5%) beef and 12 (15%) chicken and beef hamburgers. Of the 22 positive samples, 11 (50.0%) were detected by the standard method alone,...

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...
