Article Synopsis
- * A total of 235 samples, including raw meat, fish products, and milk, were tested, revealing a 7.23% contamination rate with C. difficile, consisting of both toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains.
- * Contamination was found mainly in meat and dry fish, while milk products showed no contamination; the study also noted varying toxin profiles and the highest antibiotic resistance in non-toxigenic isolates.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to address the lack of a suitable vaccine for Necrotic Enteritis (NE) in the Indian broiler industry by investigating the prevalence and characteristics of C. perfringens type G in affected chickens.
- Researchers screened intestinal scrapings and faecal contents, finding that over 51% of suspected cases contained the pathogenic C. perfringens type G, with some strains showing multidrug resistance.
- The prepared sonicated supernatant (SS) vaccine demonstrated a significantly better immunogenic response compared to traditional preparations, highlighting the importance of the TpeL toxin in NE and suggesting SS as an effective immunization method.
Duck enteritis virus (DEV) causes an acute and contagious infection in duck. The present study was carried out to evaluate the pathogenicity and pathodynamics of DEV isolates from different natural outbreaks in the Assam Province of India. A total of six wild-type isolates of DEV were revived in ducklings to determine its biologic characterization.
