Published: December 2001

A total of 31 salmonellae, belonging to four different serogroups and nine serotypes, were isolated from 30 out of 461 (6.5%) chicken meat samples, taken during a 3-year period, from 1996 to 1998. There were no significant differences among years in Salmonella positive samples, ranging from 5.1% to 8%. The most frequently encountered serotype was Salmonella enteritidis, isolated in 16 out of 30 Salmonella positive samples (53.3%), but its predomination was clearly evident only in 1996. The other isolated serotypes were S. senftenberg (three isolates), S. newport (two isolates), and S. abony, S. agona, S. banana, S. brancaster, S. infantis and S. oslo with only one isolate each. Four other Salmonella strains were not fully serotyped.

ITFG2 is an intracellular protein known to modulate the immune response of T-cells. Our previous investigation revealed that ITFG2 specifically targets ATP5b to regulate ATP energy metabolism and maintain mitochondrial function, thereby protecting the heart from ischemic injury. However, the role of ITFG2 in ischemic ventricular arrhythmias and its underlying mechanisms have not been previously reported.

Cell culture underpins virus isolation and virus neutralisation tests, which are both gold-standard diagnostic methods for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Cell culture is also crucial for the propagation of inactivated foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) vaccines. Both primary cells and cell lines are utilised in FMDV isolation and propagation.
