Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are major players in human urinary tract infections, neonatal bacterial meningitis, and sepsis. Recently, it has been suggested that there might be a zoonotic component to these infections. To determine whether the E. coli contaminating retail poultry are possible extraintestinal pathogens, and to ascertain the source of these contaminants, th...

The paper reports the veterinary culling rates and emergency slaughter statistics at poultry factories; it also analyses sanitary quality of carcasses culled in comparison to that a healthy population. This analysis identifies organoleptic, physical, chemical, microbiological differences between two categories meat. Finally, based on this data, draws recommendations most optimal safe use meat p...

Bacteriophages used to treat infections are typically amplified in a pathogenic host. However, this practice introduces the risk of administering any remaining bacteriophage-resistant pathogen during bacteriophage application if separation techniques are less than perfect. In this study, bacteriophage isolates capable of replicating in both Salmonella and Klebsiella oxytoca were identified and ...

In total, 215 commercially processed broiler carcasses were examined to determine optimum cultural enumeration, the effects of freezing, method of thawing, and duration of frozen storage on levels of Campylobacter spp. and fecal coliforms. Enumeration studies compared MPN procedures to direct plating onto selective mCCDA agar and indicated equivalency for quantitation of Campylobacter spp. Leve...

Salmonella Typhimurium is one of the most common foodborne pathogens isolated from poultry meat. The goal this study was to investigate S. survival in broiler carcasses exposed ozone, lactic acid, sodium hypochlorite and levulinic acid. inoculated into carcasses, which were divided eight treatment groups, including a positive negative control group. After standardized bacterial culture methods,...

The research paper presents the results of use a new probiotic feed additive containing dry culture lactic acid bacteria and fillers plant origin in diet young poultry. probiotics broiler chickens showed that outdoor cage keeping conditions did not significantly affect economic productive parameters poultry, while additives their provided an increase preservation Ross 308 cross by 6.0 4.0%, liv...

in poultry breeding, use of any antibiotics as a food additive that promotes growth, prevention or treatment of infectious diseases will increase the chance of drug residues in poultry meat products. in this study, the presence of different antibiotics in ten broiler flocks, which were later transported to mashhad poultry abattoir have been investigated, using four plate test (fpt) method. a to...

Cecal cultures taken over a 1-year period from 600 turkeys at a poultry processing plant were all positive for Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni. Swabs of the cloaca and fresh feces were likewise all positive. Of 33 freshly dressed turkey carcases, 94% were positive before chilling in tanks of chlorinated ice and water; 34% of 83 carcasses were still positive after overnight soaking in the tank...
