“…This pathogen is frequently transmitted via contaminated food or water (Kingsley and Bäumler 2002;Santos et al 2003). The annual number of non-typhoid salmonellosis cases in USA alone was approximately 1 200 000 cases in 2013 and about 100 000 of those cases involved drugresistant Salmonella, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC 2013).…”

Since their discovery in 1915, bacteriophages have been used to treat bacterial infections in animals and humans because of their unique ability to infect their specific bacterial hosts without affecting other bacterial populations. The research carried out in this field throughout the 20th century, largely in Georgia, part of USSR and Poland, led to the establishment of phage therapy protocols. However, the discovery of penicillin and sulfonamide antibiotics in the Western World during the 1930s was a setback in the advancement of phage therapy. The misuse of antibiotics has reduced their efficacy in controlling pathogens and has led to an increase in the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. As an alternative to antibiotics, bacteriophages have become a topic of interest with the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, which are a threat to public health. Recent studies have indicated that bacteriophages can be used indirectly to detect pathogenic bacteria or directly as biocontrol agents. Moreover, they can be used to develop new molecules for clinical applications, vaccine production, drug design, and in the nanomedicine field via phage display.Key words: bacteriophages, antibiotics, biocontrol, infection, pathogenesis.Résumé : Les bactériophages ont été utilisés pour traiter des infections bactériennes chez l'animal et l'humain depuis leur découverte en 1915, à cause de leur capacité unique d'infecter leurs hôtes bactériens spécifiques, sans affecter les autres populations bactériennes. La recherche réalisée dans ce domaine au cours du vingtième siècle, principalement en Géorgie, dans une partie de l'URSS et en Pologne, a mené à l'établissement de protocoles thérapeutiques à partir de phages. Cependant, la découverte de la pénicilline et des antibiotiques sulfamidés au cours des années 1930 a retardé l'avancement de la thérapie par les phages. Le mauvais usage des antibiotiques depuis leur découverte a résulté en une augmentation du nombre de bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques et une réduction de leur efficacité à contrôler d'importants pathogènes. Les bactériophages sont devenus un sujet d'intérêt comme alternative aux antibiotiques avec l'émergence de bactéries multirésistantes qui constituent une menace à la santé publique. Des études récentes ont indiqué que les bactériophages peuvent être utilisés indirectement pour détecter les bactéries pathogènes, ou directement, comme agents de contrôle biologique. De plus, ils peuvent être utilisés pour développer de nouvelles molécules à des fins d'applications cliniques, de production de vaccins, dans la conception de médicaments et dans le domaine de la nanomédecine, par l'exposition sur phage.

“…A loopful of each broth inoculum was streaked on Salmonela Shigella agar and the culture plates were incubated at 37 0 C for 24-48 hrs, while growth was observed for typical colonial morphology of Salmonella (13). Standard biochemical tests were used to identify Salmonella among suspect isolates using conventional methods.…”

This study was carried out to determine Salmonella contamination of food contact surfaces and processing water in meat, fish and poultry processing units in Sokoto State, Nigeria. A total of 200 swab (100 from abattoir and 100 from poultry and fish markets) and 60 processing water samples (30 from abattoir and 30 from poultry and fish markets) were collected between May to August 2015. Cultural isolation, bio-typing and sero-grouping using Salmonella Sero-Quick Group Kit was conducted to analyse the samples. Seventy-five (75/260, 28.8 %) of the total samples were positive to Salmonella by cultural isolation and bio-typing. Thirty (30/130; 23.1 %) of samples collected in abattoir and 45 (45/130; 34.6 %) of those collected from poultry and fish markets were positive for Salmonella respectively. Sero-groups D+Vi (Salmonella Typhi), B (Salmonella Paratyphi B, Salmonella Typhimurium) and C (Salmonella Paratyphi C, Salmonella Cholerae suis) were identified as the prevailing sero-groups in this study. Sero-group D+Vi has the highest prevalence (73.3 %; 55/75) from the positive bio-typing isolates. This study revealed the presence of contaminating and pathogenic Salmonella on food contact surfaces and processing water in the meat retail markets, indicating there is an urgent need to improve on the hygienic status of retail meat, poultry and fish markets.

“…It is also clear that the bacteria will not be left behind in the evolutionary battle. From a scientific point of view, these interactions offer the opportunity to gain insights both into cell biology and bacterial pathogenicity (MacDonald and Monteleone, 2005;Santos et al, 2003).…”

Problem statement: Recently, Salmonella hadar has been isolated and identified from goat in Iraq. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the ultrastructural changes in the ileum epithelial cells of mice experimentally infected with Salmonella hadar. Approach: The white BALB/c mice inoculated orally with Salmonella enterica serovar hadar strain and their ileums were examined by transmission electron microscopy at 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h after inoculation. Results: The challenge organism appeared adhered to the mucosal microvilli of the ileum from 24 h postinoculation. The early ultrastructural changes characterized by local derangement with slight swelling of the proximal ends of the microvilli. In addition, there was ruffling of the apical cell surfaces of the microvilli with cytoplasmic vacuolization of enterocytes due to invading by the organisms. The Challenge organism was usually intact and enclosed by a membrane. The damage of the epithelial cells started as a minor lesion at 24 h and became severe after 48, 72 and 96 h post infection. The more severe ultrastructural changes in the ileum occurred at 120 h post infection, which revealed hypertrophy of goblet cell, dilatation of endoplasmic reticulum, severe cytoplasmic vacuolization, thickening of the nuclear membrane and several Salmonella Containing Vacuoles (SCV). Conclusion: Our results revealed that the cellular invasion by Salmonella hadar may occurred early than 24 h because of the obvious alterations seen in the cells of the ileum at this time of infection. In addition, the continuation of cellular pathological changes for 120 h post infection may refers that S. hadar has some mechanisms which aid it to survive and replicate within intestinal cells. We recommend further studies with early observation periods in order to determine the invasion time.
