In order to maintain the high production and export rates achieved by the Brazilian poultry industry, it is necessary to prevent and control certain disease agents, such as Salmonella spp. Using bacterial cultures, the aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in specimens collected from broiler facilities. Local wild birds were also sampled, as well as the f...

Non-typhoid Salmonella serovars other than Salmonella enterica serovars S. Enteritidis (SE) and S.Typhimurium (ST) are isolated throughout the world with huge variations in prevalence. Besides the more generally occurring serovars, such as S. Infantis and S. Hadar, there are many examples of serovars that are principally reported from the regions and are most probably associated with local rese...

Background/Aim: The registered salmonella cases are estimated to constitute 1-10% of the real frequency this disease. aim research was analyze epidemiological characteristics in Belgrade population for period 1994-2013. Methods: data on number regarding gender, age and municipalities given were taken from City Institute Public Health used calculate crude, age-specific standardized incidence rat...

Multiple-antibiotic-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium is a food-borne pathogen that has been purported to be more virulent than antibiotic-sensitive counterparts. The paradigm for this multiresistant/hyperpathogenic phenotype is Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium phage type DT104 (DT104). The basis for the multiresistance in DT104 is related to an integron structure desig...

Salmonella enterica strains isolated in Okinawa between 1995 and 2005 were analyzed with respect to their serovars and antimicrobial susceptibility, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used to examine their digestion patterns. A total of 1,071 isolates, including 610 from humans, 358 from animal rectal swabs and 103 from meat obtained at grocery stores, were examined. The first 3 mo...

Salmonellosis is one of the most important bacterial diseases affecting poultry. Its importance is derived from the loss in productivity in affected birds and the hazard it causes for public health. Vaccination is the best mean for controlling salmonellosis in birds. In the present study, the immunizing and protective efficacy of local strains (S. Typhimurium, S. Infantis, S. Enteritidis and S....

In the European Union (EU), targets are being set for the reduction of certain zoonotic Salmonella serovars in different animal populations, including poultry populations, within the framework of Regulation (EC) No. 2160/2003 on the control of zoonoses. For a three-year transitional period, the EU targets were to cover only Salmonella Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium (and in addition S. Hadar, S....

Vaxsafe ST (Bioproperties Pty Ltd) is an aroA deletion mutant vaccine for the control of Salmonella Typhimurium in chickens. It is registered for spray and drinking water applications and has been shown to aid in the control of Salmonella in short lived birds (such as broilers). The main objective of this study was to test efficacy of Vaxsafe ST with a new vaccination program aimed at lengtheni...
