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.
Introduction Salmonellosis is a zoonotic disease produced by the Gram-negative enteric bacterium Salmonella. Salmonella are not restricted to particular host species, with more than 2500 serotypes having been described mostly belonging to the species Salmonella enterica (1), with most having asymptomatic colonization of the gastrointestinal tract of animals. The most...

Introduction With the growth of the poultry industry, avian salmonellosis became a limiting factor in poultry farms, in which can cause significant economic losses in all stages of production. Avian salmonellosis is the term that designates a large group of acute or chronic bird diseases caused by one or more bacteria of the genus Salmonella (Gast, 1997). These bacteria are...

1-Introduction Avian Salmonellosis caused by Salmonella species, is one of these factors that results in economic problems concerning all stages of poultry industry from production to marketing. It causes drop of performance parameters such as egg production, fertility, hatchability and increased early chick mortality (Abd Ellatef, 1995). ...

Each year, layer flocks in Denmark are infected with Salmonella. These infections, which are caused by several different serological types, are usually detected by means of compulsory Salmonella monitoring samples, and usually do not cause any clinical symptoms in the hens. Eggs from such Salmonella-infected flocks constitute a well-known risk to humans who eat raw or insufficiently heat-treated eggs (EFSA/EDC 2013). In 2013, however, the infection-source report...

Abstract
Salmonella monitoring and control is a priority in the EU. Control strategies have been implemented on a voluntary basis but are also imposed by various authorities. Obligatory and voluntary monitoring programs provide valuable information on the present status of Salmonella contamination at the different levels of the poultry production chain. In this...

Introduction. There is good experimental and epidemiological evidence that primary infection of Salmonella is by the oral-fecal route, along with an established infectious dose (Blaser and Newman, 1982; White et al., 1997; Galanis et al., 2006). Although the common route of transmission for many zoonotic pathogens such as...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Our laboratory hypothesized that tracheal sampling may be a viable method for detecting Salmonella contamination in poultry. Very recent research from our laboratory suggested that tracheal inoculation is indeed possible, and that low doses of Salmonella administered directly into the trachea can cause systemic infection [1, 2]. Thus, if infection does occur through respiratory...

Introduction Serovars of Salmonella enterica remain among the most important foodborne pathogens worldwide due to a significant number of human illnesses reported (Scallan et al. , 2011). There are an extensive number of animals that serve as hosts for the members of this genus and are able to spread these agents to animal and human populations; however, salmonellosis in humans is most frequently...

1) What is Salmonella? Salmonellae are gram-negative bacteria, which belong to the genus Salmonella which is part of the family of Enterobacteriaceae (bacteria living in the intestine). Salmonellae are non-encapsulated bacteria that can grow under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The optimum temperature for growth is 35 to 43ºC while the optimum pH is 6.6 to 8.2. However, Salmonellae can continue to grow at pH values between 4.5 and 9.5 and at...

BACKGROUND
In the genus Salmonella (Family Enterobacteriaceae) there are over 2,500 serovars. In this paper we are not dealing with the two avian host specific salmonella nonmotile serovars, S. Pullorum (Pullorum disease) and S. Gallinarum (Fowl typhoid) which are both considered to be exotic to Australian commercial poultry. Similarly not the human specific salmonella called Salmonella Typhi the cause of...

Hatchlings are highly susceptible to Salmonella with infection by a few organisms resulting in rapid colonization of the intestinal tract (7). Infection of young birds results in heavier shedding of salmonellae and a longer duration than occurs in older birds. Resistance to Salmonella infection increases with age with older birds requiring a higher level of salmonellae to become infected (6). It is for these reasons...

Infectious diseases of poultry are mostly associated with severe economic losses. Many of these diseases once re-emerging or introduced into a geographic area can explode into an epidemic and may have a significant negative effect on international trade. Beside general control approaches like biosecurity, improvement of rearing management, monitoring, and vaccination several governmental measures on control of poultry diseases were adopted in European...

INTRODUCTION In recent years food safety concerns have been focused on pathogens, such as Salmonella which is recognized as a primary cause of food poisoning worldwide and massive outbreaks have been occurred in several parts of the world [1]. Salmonella typhi and S. paratyphi , are considered as one of the major diseases resulting in considerable morbidity and usually cause severe...

With great expansion of the poultry rearing and farming, pullorum disease and fowl typhoid have become wide spread problem in Bangladesh as well as other countries of the world. In recent years, diagnostic...

The poultry industry is one of the most important sectors of the Brazilian agribusiness. In addition of being extremely important for economy due to the billions of dollars generated by exports, the poultry industry has a very relevant social role as it employs thousands of people all over the country. Global exports of chicken meat increased 11.4% in 2007, with 7.2 million metric tons (MT). Brazil had a 45% share in this international market,...
