Clostridium perfringens is the third leading cause of human foodborne bacterial disease and presumptive etiologic agent necrotic enteritis among chickens. Treatment poultry with antibiotics becoming less acceptable. Endolysin enzymes are potential replacements for antibiotics. Many added to animal feed during production subjected high-heat stress processing. To produce a thermostabile endolysin treating poultry, an E. coli codon-optimized gene was synthesized that fused...
Abstract Background Salmonella is a leading cause of human acute bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Outbreaks salmonellosis have often been associated with consumption contaminated poultry products. Various strategies explored to control this microorganism during production and processing. Vaccination broiler chickens regarded as one the effectives means microorganism. The aim present study was compare epitope identification in enterica serotype Heidelberg FlgK protein by silico prediction...
Aims: To evaluate the loop-mediated isothermal amplification method (LAMP) for rapid detection of Flavobacterium columnare and determine suitability LAMP diagnosis columnaris infection in channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Methods Results: A set four primers, two outer inner, were designed specifically to recognize 16S ribosomal RNA gene this pathogen. Bacterial genomic DNA templates prepared by hot lysis a buffer. Amplification specific segments was carried out at 65°C 1 h. The amplified...
Campylobacter jejuni, a flagellated, spiral-rod, Gram-negative bacterium, is the leading pathogen of human acute bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide, and chickens are regarded as major reservoir this micro-organism. Bacterial flagella, composed more than 35 proteins, play important roles in colonization adhesion to mucosal surface chicken caeca. In study, flagellar capping protein, FliD, encoded by fliD gene, from jenuni D1-39 isolate was expressed characterized, its antigenicity determined....
Campylobacter is the leading bacterial pathogen that causes foodborne illnesses worldwide. Pasture farming regarded as an important source of agricultural production for small communities. Consumer preference pasture-raised animal products has increased; however, there a paucity information on microbiological quality poultry products. The purpose this study was to explore genetic relatedness thermophilic isolates, assess antibiotic resistance phenotypically and genotypically, screen presence...
In this study, the channel catfish (CC) matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) gene was cloned, sequenced, and characterized at both cDNA genomic DNA levels. The complete sequence of CC MMP-9 consisted 2,551 nucleotides, including one open reading frame 5′- 3′-end untranslated regions. potentially encoded a 686-amino-acid peptide with calculated molecular mass (without glycosylation) approximately 77.4 kDa, which included signal heavy O-glycosylation sites. did not have tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp...
To provide safer food, many technologies have been used to preserve food. One such technology is cold plasma, which can reduce viable bacterial counts in various food matrices. However, communities matrices before and after plasma treatment not investigated. In this communication, the EcoPlates™ were physiologically profile from poultry ground meat treated with rosemary, or both. The cultures plates incubated at 25 °C for seven days an OmniLog® system. Responses of 31 chemicals measured on...
