to safeguard and protect it. The roadmap to protecting poultry is not simple, yet it is vital when trying to keep out negative health problems in the poultry industry. People tend to claim that Salmonella is mainly a human problem, however; humans and poultry have a common enemy in Salmonella. When salmonella hurts poultry everybody hurts. In order to fight this enemy, we must learn all we can about what causes…
To better understand the dangers of food poisoning its first important to understand what causes it. Salmonella for example is a bacteria…
Food is a source of nutrients not only for humans but microorganisms as well. Food safety is a term for all measures and concepts that are intended to ensure that food is safe to eat and cannot cause a health problem or poisoning. The issue of food safety is a universal concern, this is because everyone must to consume food. Bacteria are everywhere, in the air, in the water, in the ground, on our food, on our skin and inside our bodies. Food scares have been numerous in the United States in the…
The contamination of food is an issue that can have deadly repercussions at any time to any person. The United States is not the only country that is impacted, contamination happens all over the globe. Whether caused chemically, physically, or through microorganism origin, reverberation of any type of poisoning is intensely dangerous. Though most people who are directly affected by contamination are able to recover, great deals of others are susceptible to more long term symptoms which may very…
In 2007, there was a salmonella outbreak that January that sickened hundreds of people in the United States. This was something that impacted many lives and was something that was one of the biggest lawsuits for food borne illnesses. The salmonella was sourced at the Blakely, GA Peanut Corporation of America, or PCA, plant. On January 30, 2007 the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, confirmed salmonella in the Peter Pan Peanut Butter. In approximately mid-February, the Centers for Disease…
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S.Typhimurium) Xylose lysine deoxycholate (XLD) agar. Microbial classification Salmonella species are one of the most commonly seen foodborne pathogens, affecting animals and humans worldwide (4,7,12,17,19). The serological clarification of Salmonella serovars may be determined by commercially accessible polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), which…
Research Experience Metabolic Integration in Salmonella enterica: My first research experience began with a summer internship in the Bacteriology department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, investigating the compensatory mechanisms involved in metabolic integration. The overarching goal was to identify the changes and alternative pathways required to sustain life in a Salmonella enterica strain whose thiamine (vitamin B1) biosynthetic gene, thiH, had been replaced by an equivalent…
For example, recently, it has been shown that epigenetic modifications in the closely related gamma-proteobacteria, Salmonella enterica, can regulate the transition from planktonic to biofilm growth, and that this transition is caused by changes in gene expression induced by epigenetics.27 Additionally, it has been demonstrated that an epigenetic switch in H. influenzae can…
antimicrobial activity of those isolates, in vitro inhibition by cross streak assay was performed, in cross streak method all the 5 isolates were able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739), Salmonella enterica (NCTC 6017), and Bacillus cereus. Previous studies also revealed…
Bacterial identification plays an imperative role in pathology, enabling the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases abundant within the human population. Samples from biological tissues as well as artificial reservoirs, are frequently utilised for analysis in order to detect the presence of bacteria. These may be either normal flora, opportunistic pathogens or invasive microorganisms, from which analysis can deduce their role in disease states. The inaugural step in the process of bacterial…
