| invasion of salmonella enteritidis in the tissues of reproductive organs in laying japanese quail: an immunocytochemical study. | the aim of this study was to determine whether salmonella enteritidis (se) inoculated into the peritoneal cavity would colonize tissues of reproductive organs in japanese quail hens. quail hens regularly laying were intraperitoneally inoculated with 5 x 10(7) or 5 x 10(8) se cells, and the ovary, oviduct, kidney, spleen, liver, and large intestine were excised 24 or 48 h after the treatment. paraffin sections of these organs were immunostained for se. invasion of se was found in the tissues of t ... | 2003 | 12872975 |
| experimental salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 infection and egg transmission in japanese quails. | japanese quails were inoculated orally with 1 x 10(10) colony-forming units of salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 isolated from chicks to obtain information concerning s. enteritidis infection and egg transmission. the inoculation resulted in a bacteraemic infection with seeding of the liver, spleen, intestine, peritoneum, ovule, ovary and oviduct. some infected birds showed diarrhoea, ruffled feathers, depression, loss of appetite and death. however, most infected birds remained clinically nor ... | 1992 | 16031673 |
