The ability of various microorganisms to attach to surfaces and create biofilms on them is rather a cause of concern for many industries, including for those occupied with food production and processing. Thus, the attachment of bacterial pathogens to food processing equipment is…
A scholarly history of food poisoning, telling of its discovery of food poisoning as a public health problem in the 1880s, of the discovery of pathways of infection and of the Salmonella family, and of the realisation that these organisms are deeply embedded in human and animal …

Background: Hurungwe district, one of Zimbabwe’s largest districts is not immune to the numerous typhoid fever outbreaks that have been occurring in Zimbabwe over the past twelve to fifteen years. The main aim of this study was to examine risk factors associated with acquiring t…
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is responsible for a variety of diseases in domestic animals and humans. The infection of mice causes similar disease progression to human typhoid fever, thus representing a model for this systemic disease. The ability of S. Typhimurium to…
Iron is essential for the growth and long-term persistence of most human pathogens, and growth within host tissues is often dependent on the bacteria being able to steal iron from the normally secure lung-iron sources, such as the iron-binding proteins transferrin (Tf) and lacto…
The consumption of unsafe fresh vegetables has been linked to an increasing number of outbreaks of human infections. In Lebanon, although raw vegetables are major constituents of the national cuisine, studies on the safety of fresh produce are scant. This research employed a hol…
Derived from the 28th Poultry Science Symposium of the World's Poultry Science Association (UK), this book focuses on the current interest of the phasing out of antibiotic use in poultry and covers in-depth interactions between the bird, its diet and potential pathogens. It also…
This third edition expands upon the previous edition with current, detailed methods on different aspects, and landmarks advancing knowledge on Salmonella research. With new chapters on molecular assays for detection, identification and serotyping of Salmonella, quantitative prot…
"Salmonella: Methods and Protocols presents detailed methods on a variety of aspects of Salmonella research, focusing on those which provide landmarks for future discovery. Highlighted topics include molecular genotyping, rapid and accurate new methods for sensitive determinatio…
A doença no período pré-desmame tem um grande impacto no crescimento e na vida produtiva da futura vaca. Cerca de 50% das mortes que ocorrem no primeiro ano de vida acontecem nas primeiras 6 semanas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a transferência de imunidade passiva (…
Microbiological safety of fresh produce has attracted attention due to constant produce outbreaks. Manure contaminated with enteric pathogens has been identified as a major pre-harvest contamination source. This study investigated the survival of Salmonella in dust particles gen…
Epidemiologic investigations have consistently shown higher incidences of laboratory-confirmed Salmonella infections (salmonellosis) in children compared to adults. Our recent work investigating associations between demographic attributes and salmonellosis based on data from the…
Poultry-related salmonellosis is an on-going problem that the poultry industry must continue to address. To address these challenges, Salmonella populations present on litter and fecal samples of brooder and grow-out turkey farms were assessed using a quantitative procedure. Fur…
Typhlocolitis in the horse is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Specific etiologic agents that cause typhlocolitis have been described. Two pathogenic bacteria, which are common causes of equine enteritis, are Clostridium difficile and Salmonella enterica . Clinical…
A meta-analysis was conducted on data from three program arms of the U.S. National Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS). Data representing over 37,000 non-Typhi Salmonella isolates were extracted from 15 final reports published by USDA, CDC, and FDA from program years…
Although the use of vaccines is a major strategy in the control of poultry diseases, not all vaccines are very effective, and this is true particularly in the case of the existing Salmonella vaccines. In this study three new approaches to improve the delivery system and the qual…
