Carriage and gene content of pesi-Like plasmids in Salmonella enterica serovar infantis from swine Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis (S. Infantis) has steadily increased over the last decade to one of the most prevalent Salmonella serotypes from poultry sources in the United States. A megaplasmid of emerging S. Infantis (pESI) encodes genes that may confer a competitive advantage in a poultry ...
Serum cytokine profile of neonatal broiler chickens infected with Salmonella Typhimurium The avian immune system responds to Salmonella infection by expressing cytokines and chemokines. We hypothesized that the immune status of Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) challenged neonatal broilers would differ from the uninfected treatment. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate 12 cytokine...
Microbial profile of broiler carcasses processed at a university scale mobile poultry processing unit Chicken and chicken products have been associated with foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Poultry comprises an important segment of the agricultural economy (75 million birds processed as of 2019) in West Virginia (WV). The risk of pathogens on pro...
Competitive exclusion of Salmonella colonization in chickens using a defined community of bacteria OBJECTIVE: Non-antimicrobial intervention strategies to decrease Salmonella load in pre-harvest poultry production are important to improve food safety and protect public health. Previous use of cecal contents from mature chickens has shown protection against Salmonella through competitive exclusion...
Complete genome sequence of Citrobacter braakii ASE1 generated by PacBio sequencing We report the complete genome sequence of Citrobacter braakii ASE1 generated by the PacBio sequel II platform. This bacterium was isolated from the soil of a lettuce farm in Salinas, California in 2020 and was shown to inhibit the growth of Salmonella enterica serovar Poona and Escherichia coli sero...
Identifying a list of Salmonella serotypes of concern to target for reducing risk of salmonellosis There is an increasing awareness in the field of Salmonella epidemiology that focusing control efforts on those serotypes which cause severe human health outcomes, as opposed to broadly targeting all Salmonella, will likely lead to the greatest advances in decreasing the incidence of salmonellosis. ...
