Netherlands – Dutch Salmonella illnesses linked to Brazilian poultry

Posted on April 10, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Chicken meat from Brazil is being investigated as the source of Salmonella illnesses in the Netherlands.

Between the end of 2019 and mid-February 2020, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) identified a cluster of six Salmonella Virchow infections distributed across the country using whole genome sequencing (WGS) but no epidemiological link among them was reported.

An outbreak investigation by RIVM and the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) identified six food isolates as genetically closely related to cases and associated with the source of the infection.

These isolates came from poultry meat, including frozen poultry imported from Brazil.

Research – Pooling of laying hen environmental swabs and efficacy of Salmonella spp. detection

Posted on March 16, 2020 by | Leave a comment

JFP imagesCAJOQ0KC

Environmental testing for  Salmonella  Enteritidis is required for U.S. shell egg producers with > 3,000 hens on a farm. The egg producer assumes all costs for the mandatory testing. According to the FDA Egg Rule, either manure scraper or drag swabs can be collected according to published guidelines and requirements. The current study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of  Salmonella  detection in single, two, and four swab pools of either manure scraper or drag swabs. Resistant isolates of  Salmonella  Enteritidis (1000 ppm streptomycin; SE), Heidelberg (200 ppm nalidixic acid (NA); SH), Typhimurium (200 ppm NA; ST), and Kentucky (200 ppm NA; SK) were utilized. Low (approximately 8.4 CFU) and high (approximately 84 CFU) dose inocula were introduced onto a single swab within a pool. A single flock of each conventional cage (manure scraper swabs) and cage-free barn (drag swabs) were monitored throughout the study at the ages required under the FDA Egg Rule. The greatest and most consistent recovery of inoculum was found in single swab samples. For low dose inocula, it was difficult to recover isolates from single manure scraper swabs (57.9 – 29.2 %) and decreased as more swabs were added to the pool. Recovery of isolates in manure scraper swabs was greater for high dose inoculum, though SH exhibited difficulty competing with naturally occurring flora. One and two swab pools of drag swabs had similar rates of recovery at both low and high dose SE, SH, and ST. When SE and SK were combined in an inoculum, SE was recovered at a much higher rate than SK for all types of swabs and doses of inocula. Pooling of two drag swabs allowed for similar detection of low and high dose  Salmonella  tested in the current study, but the pooling of manure scraper swabs decreased detection of low dose  Salmonella .

Research -Salmonella phage study underway on Kenyan poultry farms

Posted on February 29, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Wattagenet

The use of bacteriophages to kill Salmonella in poultry flocks is currently being investigated in Kenya. The work, driven by concerns about antibiotic overuse and antibiotic resistance, should result in a commercially available product aligned to local needs and offering an alternative to antibiotics.
