phosphine generation by mixed- and monoseptic-cultures of anaerobic bacteria. | a microbial basis for bioreductive generation of phosphine is proposed, which could account at least in part for the presence of this toxic gas in natural anaerobic environments and in sewage and landfill gases. phosphine generation under anaerobic growth conditions was dependent upon both the culture inoculum source (animal faeces) and enrichment culture conditions. phosphine was detected in headspace gases from mixed cultures under conditions promoting fermentative growth of mixed acid and but ... | 2000 | 10811253 |
differentiation of salmonella enterica serotype gallinarum biotype pullorum from biotype gallinarum by analysis of phase 1 flagellin c gene (flic). | salmonella enterica serotype gallinarum biotype gallinarum and biotype pullorum are non-motile and pathogenic avian strains. biotype gallinarum causes fowl typhoid and biotype pullorum is the cause of pullorum disease in chickens. the two biotypes could be differentiated based on biochemical characteristics. however, conventional culture and biochemical assays are time-consuming, laborious and need sterile laboratory practices. although the two biotypes, gallinarum and pullorum are non-motile, t ... | 2000 | 10739340 |
vaccination for control of salmonella in poultry. | salmonella spp. are facultative intracellular pathogens causing localised or systemic infections, in addition to a chronic asymptomatic carrier state. they are of worldwide economic and public health significance. in poultry, which represent important sources of cheap protein throughout the world, fowl typhoid and pullorum disease continue to cause economic losses in those parts of the world where the poultry industries are continuing to intensify and where open sided housing is common. a number ... | 1999 | 10418900 |
salmonella pullorum in the common pheasant (phasianus colchicus). | in 1996, pullorum disease due to salmonella enterica serovar gallinarum biovar pullorum (salmonella pullorum) was diagnosed in pheasants on a gamebird rearing enterprise in south-west scotland. the gross pathology and bacteriological findings are described, as are the results of screening for s pullorum on the site in 1997. the causal organism was readily isolated from the lung, liver, yolk sac and heart blood on direct culture, but less readily from the digestive tract or by the use of selectiv ... | 1999 | 10204223 |
purification and characterization of phospholipase c of salmonella gallinarum. | phospholipase c was isolated from an outbreak strain of salmonella gallinarum with ciprofloxacin extraction, dialysis, gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography and chromatofocussing. purified phospholipase c (mol wt. 65 kda; isoelectric point, pi 3.5) was resistant to pasteurization, stomach enzyme (pepsin), bacterial protease and lipase but lost its activity on trypsin and chymotrypsin treatment. it was sensitive to ph > or = 8.0. it was haemolytic, embryotoxic, enterohaemorrhagic, lethal to ... | 1998 | 10093508 |
lactobacilli isolated from chicken intestines: potential use as probiotics. | lactobacillus strains were tested for their in vitro probiotic properties. cell surface hydrophobicity was found to be very high for lactobacillus fermentum subsp. cellobiosus and salmonella gallinarum; high values could indicate a greater ability to adhere to epithelial cells. studies on lactobacillus animalis indicated relative cell surface hydrophobicities smaller than those of l. fermentum subsp. cellobiosus and l. fermentum. l. animalis and enterococcus faecalis were able to coaggregate wit ... | 1999 | 10090244 |
effect of a commercial competitive exclusion culture (preempt) on mortality and horizontal transmission of salmonella gallinarum in broiler chickens. | a commercial competitive exclusion (ce) culture (preempt) was evaluated for its ability to decrease mortality during the first 10-12 days posthatch resulting from the causative agent of fowl typhoid, salmonella gallinarum. in the first experiment, chicks provided the ce culture on day of hatch and challenged with 10(5) s. gallinarum on day 3 had a significant decrease in mortality compared with non-ce-treated s. gallinarum-challenged chicks in all four replicates. mortality for control chicks wh ... | 1998 | 9876831 |
comparison of immune responses of two salmonella gallinarum strains viewed as possible vaccines for fowl typhoid in kenya. | the immune responses of two s. gallinarum strains, l46 and cn 180, were compared in 15-week-old cockerels. the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses were assayed by means of the indirect haemagglutination test (iha) and the macrophage migration inhibition test (mit), respectively. birds were vaccinated with the two vaccines, respectively, and bled for sera (for iha) and cells (for mit) every week up to the seventh week, post vaccination, then every alternate week, three times, and later onc ... | 1998 | 9741049 |
protection of chickens against experimental fowl typhoid using a nuog mutant of salmonella serotype gallinarum. | a nuog mutation in nadh dehydrogenase i was introduced into a virulent strain of salmonella serotype gallinarum, the causative agent of fowl typhoid, using gene replacement with a nuog open reading frame inactivated by insertion of dna encoding a kanamycin resistance determinant. the s. gallinarum nuog mutant, named sg9ngk, was highly attenuated in chickens. sg9ngk colonized the caeca of chickens less efficiently than the s. gallinarum parental strain, was less invasive and showed no evidence of ... | 1998 | 9682335 |
variants of smooth salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis that grow to higher cell density than the wild type are more virulent. | salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis that grows to a higher cell density (se-hcd) than wild type while retaining o-chain lipopolysaccharide was isolated by transforming wild type serovar enteritidis with the cell density sensor plasmid psb402 and selecting for bioluminescence. a luminescent strain, se-hcd, that emitted light in proportion with cell density and opacity through stationary phase was isolated. after a peak cell density of 1.5 x 10(11) cfu/ml was observed, luminescence decreased, ... | 1998 | 9603830 |
the presence of genes homologous to the k88 genes faeh and faei on the virulence plasmid of salmonella gallinarum. | a tn3 insertion mutation was produced in the virulence plasmid of a strain of salmonella gallinarum which conferred avirulence by parenteral and oral routes but which was also less invasive following oral inoculation. the transposon was found to have inserted near an open reading frame (orf) with no homologies in the data banks. this orf was adjacent to two additional orf's with a high degree of homology of escherichia coli genes encoding the minor structural subunits (faeh and faei) of the k88 ... | 1998 | 9503619 |
[salmonella gallinarum-pullorum infection of poultry: experiences in switzerland]. | 37 salmonella gallinarum-pullorum-strains were isolated from dead poultry between 1986 and 1996. all strains except one belonged to the biovar pullorum. 33 isolates were from fancy poultry flocks, four from backyard flocks. 10 of 12 chicks and 10 of 25 adult birds showed clinical signs of disease. the growing significance of fancy and backyard flocks as a reservoir for s. gallinarum-pullorum is emphasized in view of the increase in free range management of commercial layer and broiler flocks. | 1997 | 9480540 |
lead disrupts eicosanoid metabolism, macrophage function, and disease resistance in birds. | lead (pb) affects elements of humoral and cell-mediated immunity, and diminishes host resistance to infectious disease. evidence is presented supporting a hypothesis of pb-induced immunosuppression stemming from altered fatty acid metabolism, and mediated by eicosanoids and macrophages (mo). chronic pb exposure increases the proportion of arachidonate (ara) among fatty acids in lipid from avian tissues, and this change provides precursors for eicosanoids, the oxygenated derivatives of ara that m ... | 1997 | 9404672 |
status of salmonella gallinarum-pullorum infections in poultry in zambia. | ten outbreaks of salmonella gallinarum-pullorum infections on poultry farms in zambia were investigated. three cases were seen in day-old broiler chickens and were diagnosed by culture as s. gallinarum-pullorum and characterized as pullorum disease because the mortality was only in the first few weeks. another case was diagnosed by culture from broiler parent stock. day-old chicks from two of the three cases were supplied by a hatchery. five cases in 5-to-18-month-old layer chickens were diagnos ... | 1997 | 9201422 |
immunoprophylaxis of salmonella gallinarum infection by salmonella enteritidis-immune lymphokines in broiler chicks. | research on the control of intestinal and tissue colonization of breeder and table-egg producing flocks by invasive salmonella enteritidis (se) has focused on the advancement of anti-salmonella feed additives, microbiological strategies, and the development of vaccines. recent investigations in our laboratories have concentrated on the development of immunoprophylactic measures to control salmonella infections. we have found an increased resistance to salmonella enteritidis (se) organ infectivit ... | 1997 | 9192048 |
[antimicrobial activity and interaction with dna of medicinal plants from the peruvian amazon region]. | decoctions of four plants used for the treatment of different infections by indigenous groups of the peruvian amazon, i.e. abuta grandifolia, cyperus articulatus, gnaphalium spicatum and pothomorphe peltata were evaluated for antimicrobial activity by the "stroke method" in agar plates. tested organisms included staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, salmonella gallinarum, klebsiella pneumoniae, candida albicans, pseudomonas aeruginosa and mycobacterium gordonae. all decoctions showed antimicr ... | 1995 | 8850132 |
