Investigations of the Distribution and Persistence of Salmonella and Ciprofloxacin‐Resistant Escherichia coli in Turkey Hatcheries in the UK

This study aimed at gaining information on the presence of Salmonella in UK turkey hatcheries and possible epidemiological links between breeding farms, hatcheries and finishing farms. The presence of ciprofloxacin‐resistant E. coli in hatchery samples, as well as in faecal samples from farms, and trends in occurrence of resistance were also investigated. Over a 2 year‐period, four British turkey hatcheries were visited and intensively sampled for the presence of Salmonella and ciprofloxacin‐resistant E. coli. In two hatcheries, a link could be demonstrated between the presence of certain Salmonella serovars in the hatcheries and on breeding and finishing farms. Within the hatcheries, serovars linked to breeding farms were found more frequently in the poult processing and dispatch areas, whereas serovars identified as ‘resident hatchery contaminants’ were predominantly found inside the hatcher cabinets. Ciprofloxacin‐resistant isolates of S. Senftenberg were identified in one hatchery, which coincided with enrofloxacin treatment of some of the breeding flocks. Ciprofloxacin‐resistant E. coli was found in two hatcheries, and the majority of these isolates showed multidrug resistance.     

海藻粉和抗菌肽及其协同效应对蛋鸡生产性能与蛋品质的影响

本试验旨在探讨海藻粉和抗菌肽及其协同效应对蛋鸡生产性能与蛋品质的影响.采用4×2(海藻粉×抗菌肽预混剂)完全随机试验设计,将480只海兰褐蛋鸡随机分为8个组,每组5个重复,每个重复12只.饲粮海藻粉的添加水平分别为0、1.0％、3.0％、5.0％,抗菌肽预混剂的添加水平分别为300、600 mg/kg.预试期7d,正试期28 d.结果表明:1)饲粮添加海藻粉显著提高了产蛋率、蛋料比、蛋黄颜色和蛋壳强度(P＜0.05).2)饲粮添加抗菌肽显著提高了产蛋率和蛋壳强度(P＜0.05).3)海藻粉和抗菌肽协同效应显著提高了产蛋率、蛋料比、蛋黄颜色和蛋壳强度(P＜0.05).由此可见,海藻粉和抗菌肽对蛋鸡生产性能与蛋品质的影响存在协同效应,以5％海藻粉+300 mg/kg抗菌肽最为理想.     

分泌抗金黄色葡萄球菌细菌素乳酸菌的分离鉴定

为分离和筛选产抗金黄色葡萄球菌乳酸菌素的优势乳酸菌,利用乳酸菌分离培养基MRS从收集的各种腌制菜汁中分离培养乳酸菌,通过细菌培养特性、革兰氏染色特点、生理生化特性初步鉴定,同时根据Genbank中乳酸菌的16SrDNA序列设计特异性引物,采用PCR方法进一步鉴定,并以金黄色葡萄球菌为指示菌对乳酸菌的发酵上清液进行抑菌特性研究。结果表明,从腌渍菜汁中分离获得90株产酸菌,通过形态学、生理生化特性和PCR鉴定,结果73株产酸菌为乳酸杆菌;分泌产物抑菌试验表明,有10株菌具有抑制金黄色葡萄球菌活性,经酸排除和过氧化氢排除试验,仍然有5株乳酸菌的分泌产物具有抑制金黄色葡萄球菌活性。可见,从腌渍菜汁分离到的乳酸菌具有抑制金黄色葡萄球菌活性的特性,主要是通过分泌乳酸菌素来发挥作用。

Effects of oral orbifloxacin on fecal coliforms in healthy cats: a pilot study

The study objective was to determine the effect of oral orbifloxacin (ORB) onantimicrobial susceptibility and composition of fecal coliforms in cats. Nine cats wererandomized to two groups administered a daily oral dose of 2.5 and 5.0 mg ORB/kg for 7days and a control group (three cats per group). Coliforms were isolated from stoolsamples and were tested for susceptibilities to ORB and 5 other drugs. ORB concentrationin feces was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The coliformswere undetectable after 2 days of ORB administration, and their number increased in mostcats after termination of the administration. Furthermore, only isolates ofEscherichia coli were detected in all cats before administration, andthose of Citrobacter freundii were detected after termination of theadministration. E. coli isolates exhibited high ORB susceptibility[Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), ≤0.125 µg/ml]or relatively low susceptibility (MIC, 1−2 µg/ml) with asingle gyrA mutation. C. freundii isolates largelyexhibited intermediate ORB susceptibility (MIC, 4µg/ml), in addition to resistance to ampicillin andcefazolin, and harbored qnrB, but not a gyrA mutation.HPLC revealed that the peaks of mean concentration were 61.3 and 141.0µg/g in groups receiving 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg, respectively. Our findingssuggest that oral ORB may alter the total counts and composition of fecal coliform, but isunlikely to yield highly fluoroquinolone-resistant mutants of E. coli andC. freundii in cats, possibly because of the high drug concentration infeces.
