Natural transmission of Salmonella choleraesuis in swine
Article Abstract:
A small fraction of pigs that shed Salmonella choleraesuis before slaughter produce quick transmission of the infection and shedding by other pigs. The commingling of pigs inoculated with S. choleraesuis and one day postinoculation (p.i.) pigs results in infection of the p.i. pigs. The p.i. pigs also shed S. choleraesuis but are not long term carriers. The infection decreases over the days and only a small percent of the p.i. pigs have colon and lymph node infections after 12 weeks. The control of the infection is possible with proper management.

Response of Salmonella choleraesuis LT2 spheroplasts and permeabilized cells to the bacteriocin AS-48
Article Abstract:
A number of physicochemical treatments were employed to enhance the outer membrane (OM) permeability of Salmonella choleraesuis LT2 as a strategy for increasing the antagonistic activity of the bacteriocin AS-48, from Enterococcus faecalis subsp. liquefaciens, against S. choleraesuis LT2. Findings showed that the antimicrobial capabilities of AS-48 against S. choleraesuis LT2 can be improved by selecting the proper pH or by combination with other processes such as mild heat treatment or OM-permeabilizing agents like EDTA or Tris.

Salmonella serovars in the herpetofauna of Indiana County, Pennsylvania
Article Abstract:
Salmonella enterica serovars present within the free-living herpetofauna of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, is isolated and identified. The results have shown that heptofaunas might pose a threat to humans, thus further understanding of Salmonella in herpetofaunas might prevent future human cases.
