Aims: Investigate the interaction of Salmonella spp. with E. coli and Proteus spp. in biofilm formation as mono and dual-species at different time durations Experimental Design: Salmonella, Proteus, and E. coli were isolated from Broiler chicken meat, and the biofilm-forming ability of these organisms were studied. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Livestock Production, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, from 2019 December to 2020 May. Methodology: This study investigated the biofilm-forming ability of Salmonella as a mono species and its interaction with E. coli and Proteus in the process of biofilm formation. Microorganisms used for this study were isolated from broiler chicken meat. Biofilm was quantified using a microtitre plate assay. The interaction effects were tested at the temperature of 280C in different time durations (up to 120 hours). Results: Salmonella 1 and Proteus monocultures showed significantly higher biofilm-forming ability than Salmonella 3 isolate at all tested time points. At 120 hr, additionally to the salmonella 1 and Proteus isolates E. coli also formed significantly higher biofilms than Salmonella 3. However, Salmonella 3 was the lowest biofilm former as mono biofilm at all tested time durations. Salmonella 1 interaction with Salmonella 3 isolates formed less biofilms than Salmonella 1 mono biofilm at 48hr and 72hr correspondingly. Salmonella 1 and its interactions with Salmonella 3, Proteus, E. coli showed similar biofilm-forming abilities without significant differences at all other tested time points. Specifically, Salmonella 3 interaction with Salmonella 1 as dual biofilm showed higher biofilm-forming ability than Salmonella 3 mono biofilm at all tested time points. Tested isolates and their interaction achieved the highest biofilm formation at numerous time points. In fact, at 48hr, Salmonella 3 isolates and its interaction of Proteus, E. coli, and Salmonella 1 interaction with Proteus attained their highest biofilm formation abilities. The highest biofilm formation was achieved by Salmonella 1 isolate as mono biofilm and Salmonella 1 interaction with E. coli as dual biofilm at 72hr. Biofilm-forming trend of respective isolates and interactions showed numerous patterns at tested time durations. Specifically, E. coli rapidly enhanced its biofilm-forming ability as monoculture from 24 hr to 120 hr. Proteus, Salmonella 3 as monocultures, Salmonella 3 interaction with Proteus and E. coli as dual cultures showed progressive biofilm development from 24 hr to 48 hr. Salmonella 1 monoculture and its interaction with Salmonella 3, E. coli as dual biofilm improved their biofilm-forming ability from 24 hr to 72 hr. Similar to Salmonella 3 interaction with Proteus, Salmonella 1 interaction with Proteus also increased its biofilm-forming ability from 24 hr to 48 hr. Conclusions: This study concluded that there is a variation among isolates and their combinations in forming the biofilms, where there is an enhancement of biofilm in dual-species over the mono-species in some interaction, and there is a reduction in biofilm formation by dual-species with some combinations. Further, this concluded that Salmonella is interacting with other commonly found bacteria such as Proteus and E. coli in biofilm formation.

Abstract The current development stage of the poultry industry is characterized by a rapid consolidation of the role of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. It was found that some phytopreparations have a diverse impact on the persistent characteristics of microorganisms. This work aims to study the influence of the nanophytopreparation “Betulin in carbon microsphere” on the manifestation of pathogenic (hemolytic, adhesive, proteolytic, catalase activities) and persistent (antilysozyme, anti-complementary activities) characteristics of microorganisms isolated from broiler chickens. Studied were microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa) isolated from samples of broiler chicken droppings. The nanophytopreparation “Betulin in carbon microsphere” was prophylactically added to the diet of chickens. As a control, considered were cultures of microorganisms isolated from broiler chickens, who did not receive the preparation in the diet. It was established that 37.5% of E. coli cultures isolated from droppings of the control broiler group exhibit hemolytic activity, while E. coli isolates from the experimental group did not have this activity. The percentage of isolated cultures of microorganisms that showed adhesive, proteolytic and catalase activity was lower for broiler chickens of the experimental group compared to the control one. This tendency was observed when studying persistent factors, in particular, antilysozyme and anti-complementary characteristics. The nanophytopreparation “Betulin in carbon microsphere” can be applied not only to increase the general resistance of the poultry body but also to target the main types of microbiocenosis joints, reducing their pathogenic and persistent potential.

Food can be a carrier for pathogenic agents that can disease in consumers (foodborne disease). Chicken meat is one of the products from livestock which has a high consumption rate, because besides being easy to obtain, the growth of chickens is fast, and the price is also more affordable compared to large livestock types. Chicken meat is an excellent medium for microbial growth and makes it a perishable food ingredient. Foodborne illness is a disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms that contaminate food, such as Salmonella spp, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli (E.coli). Salmonella spp infection can cause salmonellosis which irritates the digestive tract and many of them result in death. This study aims to assess the presence and number of pathogenic microorganisms Salmonella spp in broiler chicken sold in traditional and modern markets in Bandar Lampung. The research was conducted by purposive sampling of 30 chicken meat samples. Broiler chicken carcass samples were taken as whole and then stored in sterile plastic, labeled and put into a cool box filled with ice. The variables observed in this study were the presence and number of Salmonella bacteria. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results of Salmonella spp examination on chicken meat samples in traditional markets in Bandar Lampung City showed a positive  in 1 (one) sample or 6.7%, while in modern markets Salmonella was not found. The presence of Salmonella in chicken meat is thought to be due to contamination from the water used during the process of slaughtering and preparing the carcass, contamination from the carcass slaughtering and selling environment which does not apply good sanitary hygiene and poor personal hygiene of the traders. The conclusion obtained is that the number of Salmonella spp in chicken meat in traditional markets is not in accordance with SNI 7388 of 2009 concerning the Maximum Limit of Microbial Contamination (BMCM) in fresh meat.

Salmonella spp. is capable of adhering and forming a biofilm on materials of different kinds during their life cycle, contaminating the food chain, thus representing a potential danger for consumers. This review discusses the ability of Salmonella to form biofilm as the main obstacle to reducing the prevalence of these pathogens in food production. The components of Salmonella biofilm, such as cellulose, curli fimbriae, outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and their molecular bases are described, as well as various Salmonella morphotypes (rdar, bdar, pdar and saw). OMPs play very important roles in the cells of Salmonella strains, because they are at the interface between the pathogenic cells and the host tissue and they can contribute to adherence, colonization, virulence and biofilm formation. Furthermore, the importance of quorum sensing is discussed as a crucial factor regulating the properties of biofilm formation and pathogenicity. To further illustrate that biofilm formation is a mechanism used by Salmonella to adapt to various environments, the resistance of Salmonella biofilms against different stress factors including antimicrobials (disinfectants, antibiotics and plant extracts) is described.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of different thawing methods on the bacteriological quality of frozen broiler chicken meat. Forty-five samples of whole frozen broiler chicken carcasses were collected from different supermarkets in Cairo and Giza governorates. These samples were divided into three groups (fifteen samples for each) as follows: the first group was thawed in a household refrigerator at 7ºC for 20hrs., the 2nd group was thawed over the counter-top at ambient temperature (27-29ºC) for 5-6hrs. while, the 3rd group was thawed in microwave oven for 22 to 24mins. All thawed samples (core temperature arrived at 0ºC) were subjected to bacteriological examination immediately after thawing for enumeration of total aerobic mesophilic bacterial count, Staph. aureus count, total Coliforms count and isolation of food borne pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella and Staph. aureus. In addition, all isolated bacterial strains were exposed to antimicrobial sensitivity test. The results revealed that the lowest bacterial counts were observed in samples thawed in microwave oven, while the highest bacterial counts were recorded in samples thawed over counter-top. Moreover, Staph. aureus, E. coli and S. kentucky were isolated only from samples thawed over the counter-top and these strains were resistant to amoxicillin and sensitive to fosfomycin. Such results indicated that defrosting in microwave oven is quick and easy method for thawing frozen broiler chicken carcasses and provides an appropriate level of security for the consumers and could achieve the microbiological safety objectives while, thawing over counter-top not recommended due to food safety and quality aspect.

Foodborne pathogens are serious public healthproblems that greatly affect the cost of food production and healthcare while poultry are often associated with foodborne disease outbreaks. This study aimed at investigating the occurrence and distribution of bacterial pathogens associated with chicken meats sold around Bayero University, Kano old site. A total of twenty (20) meat samples comprised of 10 frozen and ten freshly slaughtered chicken were purchased from different selling outlets around the study area. The samples were processed using standard cultural and biochemical procedures. The results of the study showed the mean aerobic mesophilic bacterial count of 5.93 x 106 CFU/g and 3.12 x 106  CFU/g for frozen and freshly slaughtered chicken meat samples respectively. The coliform counts were 420.1 and 347.7 CFU/100g for frozen and freshly slaughtered chicken meat samples respectively. The distribution of different bacterial species revealed E. coli (26.0%), Klebsiella spp (4.0%), Salmonella spp (19.5%), Campylobacter spp. (14.6%) and Staphylococcus aureus (30%) in frozen chicken meat samples while freshly slaughtered chicken meat samples revealed E. coli (21.0%), Klebsiella spp (8.9%), Salmonella spp (30%), Campylobacter spp. (15.0%) and Staphylococcus aureus (24.0%). This showed that frozen chicken meats were more contaminated than freshly slaughtered chicken meats which might be associated with poor handling and storage conditions.

Biofilm formation by E. coli is a serious threat to meat processing plants. Chemical disinfectants often fail to eliminate biofilms; thus, bacteriophages are a promising alternative to solve this problem, since they are widely distributed, environmentally friendly, and nontoxic to humans. In this study, the biofilm formation of 10 E. coli strains isolated from the meat industry and E. coli ATCC BAA-1430 and ATCC 11303 were evaluated. Three strains, isolated from the meat contact surfaces, showed adhesion ability and produced extracellular polymeric substances. Biofilms of these three strains were developed onto stainless steel (SS) surfaces and enumerated at 2, 12, 24, 48, and 120 h, and were visualized by scanning electron microscopy. Subsequently, three bacteriophages showing podovirus morphology were isolated from ground beef and poultry liver samples, which showed lytic activity against the abovementioned biofilm-forming strains. SS surfaces with biofilms of 2, 14, and 48 h maturity were treated with mixed and individual bacteriophages at 8 and 9 log10 PFU/mL for 1 h. The results showed reductions greater than 6 log10 CFU/cm2 as a result of exposing SS surfaces with biofilms of 24 h maturity to 9 log10 PFU/mL of bacteriophages; however, the E. coli and bacteriophage strains, phage concentration, and biofilm development stage had significant effects on biofilm reduction (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the isolated bacteriophages showed effectiveness at reducing biofilms of isolated E. coli; however, it is necessary to increase the libraries of phages with lytic activity against the strains isolated from production environments.

Abstract Background Salmonella is an important zoonotic pathogen and its infections are considered among the most commonly and widely distributed food-borne illness reported worldwide. Poultry products have been identified as important sources of Salmonella infection to humans. While there have been reports of high prevalence of Salmonella and multidrug resistance in imported chicken meat in Bhutan, the safety of nationally produced broiler meat with regards to Salmonella contamination is not known. In the absence of national surveillance of Salmonella in food animals in Bhutan, this study assessed the prevalence of Salmonella and its serotypes in broiler chicken carcass in the dominant poultry production areas of the country and determine its antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in January to April 2016 in all five major commercial broiler meat producers and suppliers in Bhutan located in the Samphelling and Darla gewogs. Following a systematic random sampling method, 36 broiler carcasses were sampled from each of the five broiler commercial farms producing the total sample size of 180 samples. Salmonella was isolated and identified following the International Organization for Standardization methods (ISO 6579:2002). All Salmonella isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) following the procedures of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) method. Results The overall prevalence of Salmonella in broiler chicken meat samples was 12.78% (95% CI, 10.98–14.58). The prevalence of Salmonella spp. was higher in farms of the Samphelling gewog compared to Darla gewog [14.81% (95% CI, 8.2.7–21.5) vs 9.72% (95% CI, 2.9–16.6) respectively]. Among 23 Salmonella isolates, the most prevalent serovar was S. typhi (73.9%). The Salmonella isolates showed high sensitivity to gentamicin (73.9% of isolates) followed by streptomycin (56.5%) and ampicillin (47.8%). The highest proportion of resistance was noted to tetracycline (95.6%), trimethoprim (86.9%), amoxicillin (65.2%), and ampicillin (47.8%). Among 23 Salmonella isolates, 60.87% (n = 14) were considered multidrug resistant and 7 patterns of multidrug resistance were discovered. Conclusion The estimates of Salmonella prevalence and multidrug resistance in nationally produced commercial broiler chicken carcasses from the two main broiler meat producing areas in Bhutan, raises significant public health concerns highlighting the need for an integrated national Salmonella surveillance program across the poultry market chain.
