Use of lytic bacteriophages to reduce Salmonella Enteritidis in experimentally ...
Fiorentin,L; Vieira,ND; Barioni Júnior,WReducing Salmonella contamination in poultry is of major importance to prevent the introduction of this microorganism into the food chain. Salmonellae may spread during storage time (shelf life) whenever pre-harvest control fails or post-harvest contamination occurs. Therefore, preventive measures should also be used in the post-harvest level of poultry production in order to control salmonellae. Chicken skin s...
In vitro characterization and in vivo properties of Salmonellae lytic bacteriop...
Fiorentin,L; Vieira,ND; Barioni Júnior,W; Barros,SOccurrence of food poisoning related to Salmonella-contaminated eggs and chicken meat has been frequent in humans. Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) and Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) are included among the most important paratyphoid salmonellae associated with chicken meat and eggs. Elimination of Salmonella at the pre-harvest stage can play a significant role in preventing the introduction of this pathogen into the fo...
Test profiles of broiler breeder flocks housed in farms with endemic Mycoplasma...
Fiorentin,L; Mores,MAZ; Trevisol,IM; Antunes,SC; Costa,JLA; Soncini,RA; Vieira,NDThere is a need for a better understanding of the epidemiology of Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infection in broiler breeders in Brazil. Many features of the infection remain unrecognizable, because there are no clinical signs of the disease. A detailed testing was performed at each 6 to 8 weeks in three MS-free flocks introduced in farms with endemic MS infection for a follow-up epidemiological study. Every flock w...
