The effect of exposure, storage times, and types of holding media on the drag-swab monitoring technique for Salmonella.

Four maintenance media were compared for the preservation of the sensitivity of drag swabs and to assess the survival of Salmonella spp. on drag swabs at reduced temperatures. The effects of Difco double-strength skim milk (2 x SM), 2% buffered peptone water (BPW), a modified liquid Cary-Blair transport medium (LCB), and lactose broth holding medium were compared, as were storage periods of various lengths. The results with enzyme-linked immunosorbent antigen capture assay and highly selective plating media detection systems showed that 2 x SM had the highest level of recovery of salmonellae after prolonged storage, both under refrigeration at 4 C for 3 days and under frozen conditions of -15 C for 2 weeks.     

The inhibitory effect of bovine rumen fluid on Salmonella typhimurium.

The possible fate of Salmonella typhimurium in the rumen was investigated by monitoring rumen volatile fatty acids (VFA), lactate concentrations and pH over periods which included regular feeding and 48 h starvation. Preparations were made containing 50 per cent rumen fluid from the cow or VFA solutions, and then inoculated with S typhimurium. Viable counts before and after incubation for 24 h at 37 degrees C were compared. Incubation in broths with high concentrations of VFA and low pH resulted in a marked decrease in salmonella numbers, while lower VFA concentrations had little or no inhibitory effect on growth.

多黏菌素E对鸡源性大肠杆菌和沙门菌的PAE及其机制初探

从发病鸡的粪便中分离出具有多重耐药性的大肠杆菌O18和鸡白痢沙门菌O2,检测多黏菌素E的最小抑菌浓度(MIC)和抗生素后效应(PAE),测定多黏菌素E接触过的细菌各组乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和γ-谷氨酰基转移酶(γ-GT)活性变化、电镜观察细胞膜形态、巨噬细胞吞噬细菌数量和细菌对Caco-2的黏附力。多黏菌素E作用后,菌液中LDH和γ-GT活性显著性增高(P0.01),细菌胞膜出现破损或缺失,细菌形态改变,被巨噬细胞吞噬的菌量明显增多(P0.01),细菌对Caco-2的黏附力显著下降(P0.01)。多黏菌素E对鸡源性多重耐药菌株存在PAE,推测其产生机制为破坏细菌细胞膜,改变细菌形态,促进巨噬细胞对细菌的吞噬能力增强,降低细菌对细胞黏附力。
