Isolations of Salmonella Typhimurium from Drinking Water in an Infected Environment

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis: a Mini-review of Contamination Routes and Limitations to Effective Control

“…There is evidence that S. Enteritidis spreads rapidly from infected day old chicks to pen mates reared on litter 78,81 . Poultry may also get infected from feed 43,66 , water 36 , rodents 4,17,40 , or by contact with other poults or chicks. Infection by these routes in chicks reached 100% within seven days of contact 81 .…”

Factors associated with the dissemination of Salmonellae in turkey products and processing plants

“…However, once the infection has been introduced into the flock environment, contamination of water troughs by contami nated feed, down, dust, or feces is a possibility. The results of this investigation indicate that this situation frequently occurs on the farm, Gauger and Greaves (1946c) showed that drinking water could become con Recoveries of any serotype from a particular piece of equipment in the picking, eviscerating, or packaging areas were not made on more than three consecutive days. After this period, these bacteria were removed by effective cleaning, diluted sufficiently so as to be undetected, or replaced by other serotypes.…”

The results of this investigation indicate that this situation frequently occurs on the farm, Gauger and Greaves (1946c) showed that drinking water could become con taminated and remain so for several weeks in an environment maintaining artificially infected turkeys. The present investigation indicates that the same situation occurs in naturally infected flocks.…”
