Wooden breast and white striping: comparative occurrence in three poultry compa...
Fraga,Sabrina T.; Jaenisch,Fátima R.F.; Peixoto,Jane O.; Coldebella,Arlei; Borges,Karen A.; Furian,Thales Q.; Dickel,Elci L.; Santos,Luciana R. dosABSTRACT: To increase the amount of meat produced, researchers have promoted intensive genetic selection for growth rate and muscling and have improved nutrition and management conditions. However, there has been an increase in the number of reports of breast muscle myopathies observed in poultry processing plants, including white striping (WS) and wooden breast (WB). This study aimed to evaluate and to compare...
Antimicrobial and disinfectant resistance of Salmonella Heidelberg from Brazili...
Bassani,Juliana; Paravisi,Mariana; Wilsmann,Daiane E.; Borges,Karen A.; Furian,Thales Q.; Salle,Carlos T.P.; Moraes,Hamilton L.S.ABSTRACT: Salmonella is a major cause of foodborne illness worldwide, and poultry and its derived products are the most common food products associated with salmonellosis outbreaks. Some countries, including Brazil, have experienced an increased prevalence of Salmonella Heidelberg among their poultry flocks. Some isolates have also presented high resistance to antimicrobial agents and persist in the poultry far...
Biofilm formation capacity of Salmonella serotypes at different temperature con...
Borges,Karen A.; Furian,Thales Q.; Souza,Sara N.; Menezes,Rafaela; Tondo,Eduardo C.; Salle,Carlos T.P.; Moraes,Hamilton L.S.; Nascimento,Vladimir P.ABSTRACT: Salmonella spp. are one of the most important agents of foodborne disease in several countries, including Brazil. Poultry-derived products are the most common food products, including meat and eggs, involved in outbreaks of human salmonellosis. Salmonella has the capacity to form biofilms on both biotic and abiotic surfaces. The biofilm formation process depends on an interaction among bacterial cells...
Evaluation of the biofilm formation capacity of Pasteurella multocida strains i...
Emery,Brunna D. de; Furian,Thales Q.; Pilatti,Roberta M.; Chitolina,Gabriela Z.; Borges,Karen A.; Salle,Carlos T.P.; Moraes,Hamilton L.S.ABSTRACT: Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative bacillus that causes economic losses due to the development of respiratory diseases in several animal species. Among the mechanisms of virulence, the formation of biofilms is an important factor for bacterial survival in hostile environments. Studies of biofilm formation by P. multocida are needed because P. multocida is an important pathogen involved in respir...
Detection of virulence-associated genes of Pasteurella multocida isolated from ...
Furian,Thales Q.; Borges,Karen A.; Rocha,Silvio L.S.; Rodrigues,Everton E.; Nascimento,Vladimir P. do; Salle,Carlos T.P.; Moraes,Hamilton L.S.The current systems of breeding poultry, based on high population density, increase the risk of spreading pathogens, especially those causing respiratory diseases and those that have more than one host. Fowl Cholera (FC) is one such pathogen, and even though it represents one of several avian diseases that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of notifiable diseases that present with sudden death, ...
Detection of virulence-associated genes in Salmonella Enteritidis isolates from...
Borges,Karen A.; Furian,Thales Q.; Borsoi,Anderlise; Moraes,Hamilton L.S.; Salle,Carlos T.P.; Nascimento,Vladimir P.Salmonella spp. are considered the main agents of foodborne disease and Salmonella Enteritidis is one of the most frequently isolated serovars worldwide. The virulence of Salmonella spp. and their interaction with the host are complex processes involving virulence factors to overcome host defenses. The purpose of this study was to detect virulence genes in S. Enteritidis isolates from poultry in the South of Br...
