The aim of the study was to optimize conditions for producing Salmonella Enteritidis recombinant heat shock protein 60 (rHsp60). Seven Escherichia coli host strains (Rosetta, Turner, C41, C43, Origami, BL21pLys, Rosetta pLys) were transformed by a recombinant plasmid containing Hsp60 gene from Salmonella Enteritidis, and then cultured and induced by isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)...

the present study was designed to investigate the prevalence of salmonella species, their molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance in backyard chickens. a total of 1125 samples were collected from backyard chickens in two consequent samplings. in the first part, samples were included of 820 poor recently hatched chicks, hatching residuals, egg shells in the nest floor, cloacal swabs...

Salmonella enterica has been frequently linked to major foodborne disease outbreaks. The molecular mechanisms underlying this pathogen survival on the fresh fruit surface remain largely unexplored. In this study, the environmental factors that affect the survival of Salmonella strains on the surface of selected fruits were studied. Grape tomatoes (or cantaloupe peels) were inoculated in three s...

Growth of strains of Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella pullorum on Hektoen agar has been reported to influence the expression of long-chain lipopolysaccharide and motility respectively. In this study we used a panel of strains of S. enteritidis and S. pullorum to investigate these phenomena. Culture on Hektoen agar did not cause rough strains of S. enteritidis to express long-chain lipopoly...

salmonella enterica is considered as one of the major pathogens in public health, worldwide. diseases caused by salmonella enterica serovars are especially prevalent in developing countries. it is one of the emerging pathogen in food-borne diseases, which is often found in contaminated chicken eggs. the aim of this study was to apply a pcr–rflp method using sau3ai and hhai restriction endonucle...

background: salmonella enterica serovar typhi, as causative agent of typhoid fever, is one of the most important endemic pathogens. non-typhoidal salmonella serovars, including typhimurium , infantis , and enteritidis are amongst the most prevalent serotypes worldwide and in developing areas such as iran. the aim of this study was to apply a uniplex pcr for rapid detection of salmonella spp., a...

Both epidemiologic analyses and active disease surveillance confirm an ongoing strong association between human salmonellosis and the prevalence of Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Enteritidis in commercial egg flocks. The majority of human illnesses caused by this pathogen are attributed to the consumption of contaminated eggs. Animal welfare concerns have increasingly influence...

The pathogenicity of Salmonella Kentucky, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Shubra and Salmonella Enteritidis were investigated in specific-pathogenfree chicks (SPF) and BALB/c mice. Mortality rates after the 1 st week of infection with the four serovars, only S. Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis produced a fulminate infection (88%) in each of the chicks and mice. The lowest mortality was seen in...

Accurate and fast detection of harmful Salmonella is a major concern of food safety. Common Salmonella serotypes responsible for human associated foodborne outbreaks are S. Enteritidis, S. Hadar, S. Heidelberg, and S. Typhimurium are also commonly isolated from poultry. Serology is commonly used to monitor disease in poultry, therefore application of Salmonella serotype-specific test will have ...
