Development of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting equine serum antibodies to the lipopolysaccharide of Salmonella abortusequi

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IELISA) was developed for the detection of equine serum antibodies to lipopolysaccharide of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Abortusequi (LPS), a causative organism of Equine Paratyphoid. The data presented demonstrates that horses immunized with S. abortusequi LPS developed antibodies detectable by the IELISA. By comparison, the tube agglutination test (TAT) did not detect antibody to S. abortusequi LPS as consistently as the IELISA. The data suggests that the IELISA may be a more suitable test for the detection of serum antibodies to S. abortusequi than the TAT.     

鸡白痢沙门氏菌临床分离株的耐药性分析

旨在了解鸡白痢沙门氏菌临床分离株的耐药性情况。对疑似雏鸡白痢的33份病料进行病原菌的分离鉴定、形态学观察和生化试验,鉴定出26株鸡白痢沙门氏菌。采用Kindy-Bauer法检测分离菌株对14种抗菌药敏感性。试验结果表明,分离菌株对庆大霉素、阿米卡星、新霉素、多粘菌素B、复方新诺明和氯霉素较为敏感,耐药率分别为11.54%、0、7.69%、0、19.23%和15.38%;对阿莫西林、氨苄西林、链霉素、四环素、多西环素、恩诺沙星、诺氟沙星和环丙沙星耐药性较强,耐药率分别为53.85%、65.38%、57.69%、100%、69.23%、61.54%、76.92%和53.85%。且所有鸡白痢沙门氏菌分离株均为多重耐药性,其中以6耐和7耐的菌株为主,分别占42.31%和30.77%。鸡白痢沙门氏菌分离株对多数抗菌药物具有不同程度的耐药性,加强对临床分离株的耐药监测,对于指导临床合理用药及控制疾病流行具有重要的现实意义。     

Four multistate outbreaks of human Salmonella infections associated with live poultry contact, United States, 2009

Outbreaks of human salmonellosis associated with live poultry contact have been reported since 1955. Multiple Salmonella serotypes have been associated with these outbreaks, and specific outbreak strains have been repeatedly linked to single hatcheries over multiple years. During 2009, four multistate outbreaks of human Salmonella infections associated with direct and indirect exposure to live poultry purchased from mail-order hatcheries and agricultural feed stores were identified, resulting in 165 culture-confirmed cases in 30 states. This report describes the epidemiologic, environmental and laboratory investigations conducted by state and local health departments, state departments of agriculture, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) and National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Case-patients were identified through PulseNet, the national molecular subtyping network for foodborne disease surveillance, and interviewed using the CDC standard live poultry contact questionnaire that asks about poultry-related exposures during the 7 days before illness onset. These outbreaks highlight the need to focus efforts on strategies to decrease and prevent human illness associated with live poultry contact through comprehensive interventions at the mail-order hatchery, agricultural feed store and consumer levels. Additional consumer education and interventions at mail-order hatcheries and venues where live poultry are sold, including agricultural feed stores, are necessary to prevent transmission of Salmonella from poultry to humans.     

Investigation of the Concurrent Emergence of Salmonella enteritidis in Humans and Poultry in British Columbia,Canada, 2008–2010

An increase in the rate of human infections with Salmonella enteritidis (SE) occurred between 2007 and 2010 in British Columbia (BC). During the same time period, an increase in SE from poultry‐sourced isolates and increased clinical severity in poultry were also observed in BC. This article describes a multi‐sectoral collaboration during a 3‐year investigation, and the actions taken by public health and animal health professionals. Human cases were interviewed, clusters were investigated, and a case–control study was conducted. Environmental investigations were conducted in food service establishments (FSE). Suspect foods were tested. Laboratory data from poultry‐sourced isolates were analysed. Five hundred and eighty‐four human cases of SE with the same pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis pattern were identified between May 2008 and August 2010. Seventy‐three percentage of cases reported consumption of eggs. The odds of egg consumption were 2.4 times higher for cases than controls. Implicated FSE were found to use ungraded eggs, which had been distributed illegally. Investigation suggested that there were multiple suppliers of these eggs. Collaboration between public health and animal health professionals led to data sharing, improved understanding of SE, engagement with the poultry industry and public communication. Multi‐disciplinary, multi‐sectoral and multi‐pronged investigations are recommended to identify the likely source of illness in large, protracted foodborne outbreaks caused by commonly consumed foods.     

1株抗鸡白痢沙门氏菌的乳酸菌鉴定

通过对菌体形态特征、菌落特征和生理生化特性的分析,最终将1株抗鸡白痢沙门氏菌的乳酸菌归类为乳酸乳球乳酸亚种(Lac-tococcus.lactissubsp.Lactis)。     

小鼠鼻粘膜接种伤寒杆菌Fe-SOD的抗体应答

目的：观察小鼠鼻腔接种伤寒杆菌的Fe—SOD后血液和粘膜系统的抗体应答。方法：用IL-1作为佐剂,将伤寒杆菌的Fe—SOD经鼻腔接种小鼠,检测小鼠血液及肠液中的抗体应答。结果：当用IL-1作为佐剂时,经鼻腔接种伤寒杆菌Fe—SOD的小鼠血液和肠液中可产生高水平特异性IgG和IgA类抗体;而腹腔注射仅在血液中产生高水平特异性IgG抗体。结论：用IL-1作为佐剂,伤寒杆菌Fe—SOD经鼻腔接种后可引起小鼠粘膜系统和血液中的抗体应答。
