Salmonella in poultry
Poultry can become infected with many different types of salmonella; about 10 percent of all Salmonella spp. have been detected in poultry. The most important are Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis. Other serotypes frequently occurring in poultry worldwide are, for example, Salmonella Hadar, Salmonella Livingstone, and Salmonella Senftenberg. In most cases, the birds are not sick and the production is not affected. The degree of illness depends on factors of both the bacteria and the host. The bacterium’s serotype and phage type is of significance but also the type of animal, age and general health status. S.Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis may induce clinical symptoms in poultry. It is mainly in very young chickens aged up to two weeks that salmonella can cause disease and death. The symptoms may vary and include weakness, loss of appetite and poor growth. The animals are crowded close to heat sources and sit with drooping wings and their eyes closed.
I. INTRODUCTION Salmonellosis remains one of the most frequent food-borne zoonoses, constituting a worldwide major public health concern. Although Salmonella can be acquired from a range of foods, poultry meat and eggs remain prominent (Antunes et al., 2016). Human salmonellosis cases in the US are estimated at 1.35 million per year (Centers for Disease Control, 2019a). Likewise, cases in the UK and EU have not changed significantly over the past decade. Success in controlling...

Introduction Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS), one of the principal causes of limiting diarrheal diseases in humans due to the presence of a myriad of virulence determinants, is responsible for approximately 155,000 deaths annually (Pan et al., 2009; Majowicz et al., 2010; Eguale et al., 2015; Balasubramanian et al., 2019; Nale et al., 2021). It is estimated that 93.8 million cases of gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella infection occur worldwide each year...

INTRODUCTION Salmonella spp. is the second most prevalent zoonotic pathogen in the European Union, and strictly related to poultry production, responsible for 60,050 human gastrointestinal infections during 2021 . In terms of the most significant serovars, Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium accounted for approximately 54.6% and 11.4% of the reported cases, respectively. However, salmonelosis can be...

Introduction Foodborne infections in humans caused by Salmonella are of primary importance around the world. Majowicz et al. [1] estimated that non-typhoidal Salmonella was the cause of 93.8 million cases of gastroenteritis, with 155.000 deaths yearly worldwide. For 2010 it was estimated that foodborne salmonellosis caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella resulted in 6.43 million Disablility-Adjusted Live Years [2]. Salmonellosis is characterized by acute onset of fever,...

A new stage begins in terms of vaccinations against Salmonella. From May 2021, Primun Salmonella E can be applied in laying the first live vaccine against Salmonella Enteritidis that has been authorized for that period. In this way, we give the respite that the producer had been asking for for a long time. The productive cycles of laying hens are getting longer and the immunity that has been given through the vaccines applied only in the rearing period, did not cover the new...

INTRODUCTION Poultry meat is currently the world’s most consumed and affordable meat type among animal-source. For the coming decade, per capita consumption of poultry meat is expected to increase by 5.5% worldwide, highlighting the importance of this commodity to food security, and protein availability (1). However, consumption of contaminated poultry meat was reported to cause 20.6% of foodborne diseases in the US between 1998 and 2008, among which Salmonella spp. was one of...

1. Introduction The application of antibiotics on poultry farms has been linked to the global emergence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in recent years (Benrabia et al., 2020; Kaonga et al., 2021). MDR bacteria can spread from food-producing animals to humans through direct contact with the food chain and the environment (Kirbis and Krizman, 2015). One-Health issues are still an important topic in the poultry industry, pre-harvest as well as post-harvest. Efforts...

Introduction In spite of significant improvements in technology and hygienic practices at all stages of poultry production in developed countries, accompanied by advanced improvement in public sanitation, foodborne diseases remain a persistent threat to human and animal health. Foodborne diseases are still big issues of major concern in those countries. In developing countries, the need to produce sufficient food to meet the requirements of population increases, accompanied by...
