Türkiye’de Kanatlı Yemlerinde Kullanılan Rendering Ürünlerde Salmonella Varlığı ve Bunların Antimikrobiyal Duyarlılığı

Abstract

The increased prevalence of Salmonella contamination in poultry has gained considerable scientific attention during last decades. In this study, a total of 500 samples of rendered animal products (meat meal, meat-bone meal, blood meal, chicken meal and feather meal) were obtained from several feed factories and rendering plants in Turkey and these samples were analyzed for Salmonella spp., Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium status. According to the results, 13, 11 and 8 samples obtained from feed factories were determined positive for Salmonella spp., Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium respectively. However, all samples obtained form rendering plants were negative. Antibiotic susceptibility profiles of isolates confirmed as positive were determined by using 17 different antibiotics. It was determined that Salmonella spp. and Salmonella Enteritidis serovars were resistant to amikacin, cephazolin and erythromycin, sensitive to amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, flumoquin, phosphomycin, kanamycin, oxytetracycline, spiramycin, streptomycin, tetracycline, tobramycine and vancomycin and moderate sensitive to gentamicin, linkomycin and rifampicin.

Development of an isothermal amplification-based assay for the rapid visual detection of Salmonella bacteria

“…The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2014) estimates that disease caused by contamination with foodborne pathogens affects 48 million people and results in 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths every year in the United States. Salmonella is considered an important risk to poultry and consumer health worldwide (Kutay et al, 2016) and is responsible for numerous foodborne illnesses around the world (Millan-Sango et al, 2016).…”
