    Notes: The objective of these experiments was to determine whether alternative molting diets would minimize Salmonella enterica serovar Entertitidis (S. Enteritidis) colonization in molting hens. Hens were randomly assigned to four treatment groups of 12 hens either full-fed (nonmolt, NM), molted by feed withdrawal (molt, M), a low calcium (LC containing 800 mg calcium), or LC diet supplemented with 110 mg zinc/ kg of diet (LC-ZN) in two trials. All hens were challenged orally with 10 5SE on day 4 of experiment. Hen body weight loss was significantly (P 〈 0.05) increased and ovarian weight was significantly (P 〈 0.05) decreased in hens fed the LC or LC-ZN diets compared to NM. Cecal lactic acid concentrations were significantly (P 〈 0.05) increased in hens fed alternative molting diets. Feed withdrawal molted hens exhibited significantly (P 〈 0.05) more S. Enteritidis positive and S. Enteritidis crop, cecal, and organ colonization than NM, LC and LC-ZN hens. Alternative molt diets retain sufficient fermentative activity to limit S. Enteritidis colonization and therefore may have potential to avoid the risk of increasing S. Enteritidis colonization associated with feed withdrawal.

    Notes: The present study was designed to compare unirradiated Salmonella typhimurium survival during storage after inoculation in either irradiated or unirradiated poultry feed. The effects of irradiation (5 kGy) on the indigenous feed microflora and on the survival of marker strain of S. typhimurium contaminated after irradiation treatment were determined during 56 days of storage of either soybean meal (SBM) or meat and bone meal (MBM) based feeds. The initial aerobic bacterial populations were reduced more than 90% in both SBM (4.96 to 4.08 ± 0.03 log10 CPU/g feed) and MBM (5.12 to 3.90 ± 0.03) by irradiation. Irradiation treatment reduced the average fungal counts during 56 days of storage in both SBM (4.24 to 2.74 ± 0.03) and MBM (4.38 to 2.15 ± 0.03) containing feeds. However, unirradiated S. typhimurium populations inoculated after irradiation of the feed were not different in either irradiated or nonirradiated SBM and MBM based feeds. Therefore, the differences in fungal versus bacterial sensitivity among the feed types and storage times suggests that gamma irradiation can alter the makeup of indigenous microbial populations in feed but this does not appear to have a discernible influence on subsequent survival of unirradiated S. typhimurium added as a dry inoculum after irradiation.

    Notes: This study was conducted to test if transposon footprinting could be used to identify transposon mutants of Salmonella typhimurium with growth defects in a media containing short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) as the test selective condition. High concentrations of SCFA are one of the characteristic conditions in the animal intestine that has been suggested to play a role in inhibiting colonization by nonindigenous bacterial pathogens. When the mutant pools containing 25 Tn5 mutants/pool were analyzed for transposon footprints before and after selection, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product could be identified that was present in an input pool, but not in a corresponding output pool. The results indicate that transposon footprinting can be used for negative screening of genes sensitive to SCFA in the S. typhimurium bacterial genome.

    Notes: Salmonella spp. are one of the foodborne pathogens that can be isolated in the environments of poultry houses and desiccation is a potential stress condition that can influence the survival of Salmonella spp. in this environment. In order to investigate the desiccation survival mechanism of Salmonella spp. the genome of S. typhimurium ATCC 14028 was screened for the genes potentially required for survival during desiccation using a novel method based on Tn5 mutagenesis previously developed in our laboratory. This method, termed transposon footprinting, simultaneously amplifies the Tn5-flanking sequences in a complex pool of the Tn5 mutants. As the length of the amplified DNA fragment should be unique for each distinct Tn5 mutant, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products separated on an agarose gel generate transposon footprints with each band in the footprint representing the corresponding Tn5 mutant. By comparing the transposon footprints from the pools of S. typhimurium Tn5 mutants before and after exposure to desiccation, Tn5 mutants that were not recovered after the selection were rapidly identified that would be easily isolated for further genetic analysis.

    Notes: Veillonella CF3 which was isolated from chicken cecum as part of an anti- Salmonella competitive exclusion culture and produces significant amounts of propionic acid was used to examine growth and survival response to short-chain volatile fatty acids. Growth rate of Veillonella CF3 was significantly (p 〈 0.05) decreased by exposure to propionate and butyrate (20–150 mM), while increased by addition of acetate (20–60 mM) during cultivation in anaerobic Viande Levure broth at pH 7.0. As determined by percent survivors of Veillonella CF3 in the presence of acetate, propionate or butyrate at pH 5.0, butyrate was highest in bactericidal activity, while acetate was least. Survival patterns during incubation at pH 5.0 with propionate, which seems to exert major antibacterial activity in the cecum, showed that Veillonella CF3 could multiply and survive during prolonged incubation with propionate lower than 100 mM following an initial decrease in viable cells. However, no viable cells were recovered after six days at concentrations higher than 200 mM. The results indicate that this probiotic Veillonella CF3 strain may possess adaptive mechanisms for survival against high concentrations of propionate, which are initially bacteriostatic to the Veillonella strain.

    Notes: Microbial contamination of egg shells is of great importance in the commercial production of table eggs. The objective of this project was to determine the effectiveness of an iodine-based disinfectant (IBD) on the microbial population of eggshell surfaces under simulated industry egg processing conditions with a commercial egg washer used as the delivery system for sanitizers. Recirculated egg washer water containing 3.69–5.81 log colony-forming units (CFU)/mL aerobic organisms and 2.02–2.47 g/L total dissolved solids (TDS) was obtained from a commercial egg processing facility and used to simulate conditions found in the commercial egg industry. Sanitizing treatments consisted of distilled deionized water (DDW), IBD, and chlorine (CL; 200 ppm). Enumeration of aerobic plate populations indicated that IBD and CL treatment significantly (p 〈 0.05) decreased microbial populations on the shell compared to DDW treatment when egg wash water TDS were lower (2.02 – 2.03 g/L) and wash water aerobic plate counts (APC) were higher (5.05 – 5.85 log CFU/mL). When egg wash water TDS was higher (2.47 g/L) and wash water APC were lower (3.69 log CFU/mL) sanitizers were not effective in reducing egg shell microbial populations. No difference in egg shell APC counts was detected between the IBD and CL. In a second trial, cycloheximide or tetracycline amendments were added to media to test the effectiveness of the treatments on either mold and fungi or bacteria alone. When wash water TDS were higher (2.44–2.46 g/L) the sanitizers were again less effective against bacteria compared to samples from lower TDS while fungal populations did not show any significant differences among the treatments. It was concluded from this study that the IBD is an effective sanitizer when used in conjunction with a commercial egg washer but potential efficacy is dependent on the level of TDS in the egg wash water.

    Notes: Microbial and foodborne pathogen contamination of eggs continues to represent an important public health concern. The goal of this study was to compare the efficacy of spraying shell eggs with PCC (peroxidase-catalyzed compound, Enzodine TM, Symbollon Corporation, Sudbury, MA) with that of other sanitizers in the reduction of surface microbial contamination using a laboratory-scale sprayer apparatus. Treatments were distilled-deionized water, PCC, chlorine (200 ppm), and quaternary ammonium (QA). Each egg was sprayed with 150 mL of the treatment over a 1 min period while being rotated at approximately 150 revolutions per min. Enumeration of aerobic plate populations indicated that all treatments (distilled-deionized water, chlorine, PCC, and QA) significantly reduced the viable aerobic bacterial populations and Salmonella typhimurium when compared to the nonsprayed dry egg control. Spraying eggs with PCC resulted in a 6 logarithmic reduction in viable S. typhimurium populations on egg shell surfaces. Unlike results found with aerobic bacterial populations, PCC was not as effective in reducing levels of S. typhimurium to the extent of the chlorine and QA treatments (greater than 6 logarithmic reduction) but greater than 3 logarithmic reduction was observed with PCC as compared to distilled-deionized water. This study suggests that PCC may be a viable alternative to chlorine and QA in the reduction of bacterial populations on shell egg surfaces and can be applied as a spray on egg shell surfaces.

    Notes: The present study was designed to compare ethyl alcohol with buffered propionic acid feed treatment on the survival of indigenous poultry feed bacteria and fungi. The aerobic bacterial poultry feed populations were not substantially reduced by either ethyl alcohol or buffered propionic acid treatments. Likewise, indigenous poultry feed fungal populations also were not markedly reduced by buffered propionic acid treatment of the feed but fungal poultry feed populations exposed to ethyl alcohol treatments were significantly lower (P〈0.05) than fungal populations recovered from either control and buffered propionic acid treated feeds. Ethyl alcohol treatment may have potential for reducing fungal contamination in poultry feed.

    GROWTH RESPONSE OF A SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM POULTRY ISOLATE TO PROPIONIC ACID UNDER AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS (1998)

    Notes: Organic acids have long been used as additives in poultry feed to reduce microbial populations, including Salmonella spp. Propionic acid addition to poultry feed has a potential role in reducing Salmonella spp. in the chicken intestine. In this study, in vitro growth response of S. typhimurium isolated from poultry to propionic acid under aerobic and anaerobic conditions was determined. When grown in tryptic soy broth (TSB) containing buffered propionic acid (BPA), the growth rate of S. typhimurium gradually decreased as the level of BPA increased and broth pH decreased. No growth was detected with BPA concentrations greater than 3% (volume/volume) of the broth. When the growth rates of S. typhimurium in aerobic and anaerobic TSB were compared at two pH levels (pH 5.0 and 7.0), the growth inhibition of S. typhimurium by propionic acid was markedly suppressed by anaerobiosis at both pHs, as indicated by significantly (p〈0.05) higher half-inhibition constants (K°). Also, the growth rates of S. typhimurium in the presence of propionic acid were dramatically reduced by the decrease in pH from 7.0 to 5.0. The results of this study indicated that the growth inhibitory effect of propionic acid against S. typhimurium strains was enhanced by pH decrease and suppressed by anaerobiosis, suggesting that the growth response of S. typhimurium to propionic acid in the chicken intestine might be affected by the environmental conditions such as pH and anaerobiosis.

    Notes: Microbial contamination of table eggs has become an important public health problem. In this study, peroxidase-catalyzed compound (PCC), which is innocuous to humans, was tested for its bactericidal activity on a variety of bacteria on inert carriers and on egg shell surfaces. When inert carriers containing Salmonella choleraesuis, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were exposed to PCC, population reductions were within acceptable performance standards for standard and simulated hard water conditions. When evaluated for sporicidal activity, PCC gave no positive carriers in a total of 60 carriers tested for either Bacillus subtilis or Clostridium sporogenes. Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas fluorescens viable cells on egg shell surfaces were determined after dip treatment with deionized distilled water, PCC or chlorine-treated (200 ppm) water for 1, 3 and 5 min and compared with those of a control without dip treatment. All treatments significantly reduced the viable cells (log10 CFU/egg) compared to controls for both strains (p 〈 0.05). Populations of both strains surviving chlorine and PCC were significantly lower than surviving deionized-distilled water, although PCC gave higher recoveries than chlorine (p 〈 0.05). Populations exposed to PCC treatment were significantly decreased after 3 and 5 min, respectively (p 〈 0.05). The results of this study indicate that PCC has potential as a table egg sanitizer that could replace the other egg sanitizers which may be environmentally problematic. Based on the inert carrier studies, PCC may also be an effective disinfectant for egg processing equipment and plastic egg cartons in the presence of hard water or contaminating soil.
