Prevalence and Characterization of Salmonella Isolated from Feral Pigs Throughout Texas

Feral pigs are one of the most abundant free‐roaming ungulates in the United States, yet their role in the ecology and transmission of foodborne pathogens is poorly understood. Our objectives were to estimate the prevalence of Salmonella shedding among feral pigs throughout Texas, to identify risk factors for infection, and to characterize the isolates. Faecal samples were collected from feral pigs in Texas from June 2013 through May 2015. Standard bacteriologic culture methods were used to isolate Salmonella from samples, and isolates were characterized via serotyping and anti‐microbial susceptibility testing. The prevalence of faecal Salmonella shedding among sampled pigs was 43.9% (194/442), with positive pigs originating from 50 counties. Pigs sampled during fall and summer were significantly more likely to be shedding Salmonella than pigs sampled during winter. High serovar diversity was evident among the isolates, and many of the detected serovars are leading causes of human salmonellosis. The most common serovars were Montevideo (10.0%), Newport (9.1%), and Give (8.2%). Resistance to anti‐microbial agents was rare. The burgeoning feral pig population in the United States may represent an emerging threat to food safety.

Salmonella enterica infections in Spanish swine fattening units

The present study is the first conducted in Spain to estimate the bacteriological herd prevalence of Salmonella enterica in fattening units and to describe the Salmonella serovar diversity on these farms using a sample representative of the entire swine population. For this purpose, 10 faecal samples were collected from 10 different pens containing pigs close to market weight in a total of 232 fattening units. Total sample size was proportionally distributed according to the fattener census in each of the regions of the country and all the samples were examined by culture of 25 g of faecal material. One hundred (43.1%) farms had at least one Salmonella-positive sample (95% CI: 37-49.1%). Salmonella enterica was detected in 290 (12.5%) pooled faecal floor samples (95% CI: 11.2-13.8%). The apparent herd prevalence of salmonellosis was similar among multi-site, finishing and farrow to finish farms. Overall, 24 different serovars were identified, with S. Typhimurium, S. Rissen and S. Derby being the most common both at herd and sample level. Results of phage typing were available for the 91 isolates of S. Typhimurium. A total number of 10 different phage types were identified, with DT 193 being the most frequent. Phage types DT 104, DT 104b and DT U302, which have been associated with several multi-resistant patterns, accounted for 23% and 29% of the Typhimurium total isolates or Typhimurium infected farms respectively.     

用NBT还原法检测细菌无细胞溶解物中SOD活性

目的：了解不同细菌无细胞溶解物中ＳＯＤ活性。方法：采用ＮＢＴ还原法检测２株大肠杆菌和８株沙门氏菌（其中７株伤寒沙门氏菌、１株鼠伤寒沙门氏菌）无细胞溶解物中ＳＯＤ活性。结果：２株大肠杆菌ＳＯＤ活性明显低于８株沙门氏菌（Ｐ＜０．０１）;鼠伤寒沙门氏菌ＳＯＤ活性明显高于伤寒沙门氏菌（Ｐ＜０．０１）;而伤寒沙门氏菌Ｌ型返祖株ＳＯＤ活性低于其它株伤寒沙门氏菌（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结论：不同细菌的ＳＯＤ活性有差异;伤寒沙门氏菌Ｌ型返祖株细胞壁的缺陷可能是导致其ＳＯＤ活性降低的原因之一

产雌马酚梭菌C1对小鸡沙门氏菌攻毒保护效果

部分梭菌对机体的免疫系统具有明显的调节作用,可开发成新型益生菌。由于鸡盲肠内容物中梭菌含量较高,从小鸡肓肠内容物中分离培养功能性梭状芽孢杆菌,并在小鸡中初步研究其对沙门氏菌攻毒的保护效果。该研究首先采用梭菌选择性培养基,从小鸡肓肠内容物中分离获得了一株可以将大豆素转化为雌马酚的革兰氏阳性纤维状梭菌C1,以四环素为对照,研究梭菌C1对小鸡沙门氏菌攻毒的保护作用。结果表明,梭菌C1组和四环素组均具有降低肓肠内容物中沙门氏菌活菌数和促进小鸡生长的功能,推测梭菌C1具有开发为四环素替代品的潜能。虽然较高浓度的S 雌马酚（5 mg·mL-1）在体外对沙门氏菌有一定的抑制作用,梭菌C1也具有将大豆素转化为雌马酚的能力,但梭菌C1在体外对沙门氏菌的抑制作用并不明显,其益生机制还有待进一步研究。

Detection of Salmonella in Finishing Pigs on Farm and at Slaughter in Piedmont,Italy

Salmonella is one of the most common causes of human gastroenteritis often associated with pork consumption. The aims of this cross‐sectional study were to collect preliminary data on the presence of Salmonella enterica in pigs in Piedmont (Italy), through sampling on farm and at slaughter and to gather pilot data on serotypes and phagetypes present in the sampled area and distribution of anti‐microbial resistance among isolated strains. Salmonella was detected through culture and identified with Salmonella spp. and Salmonella Typhimurium PCR; positive samples were serotyped, phagetyped and tested for antibiotic susceptibility. Positive samples (from 9% of faeces up to 29% of tonsils) were found in 64% of the herds. Salmonella spp. was retrieved also from scalding water. Most of the isolates were Salmonella Derby, Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella 4,5,12:i:‐. The results of Salmonella Typhimurium specific PCR suggested that Salmonella 4,5,12:i:‐ might be unrecognized by serotyping. Anti‐microbial resistance was recorded in 75–100% of the isolates. Phagetyping allowed the identification of DT104B and DT46A strains. These results set the bases for further research studies that would aim to estimate the real herd prevalence in Piedmont and the diffusion of serotypes and anti‐microbial resistant strains within the same region.
