Escherichia albertii is an emerging foodborne enteropathogen with increasing outbreaks worldwide, particularly in Japan recently. However, major features of this zoonotic pathogen, such as prevalence, virulence, and antibiotic resistance (AR), still remain under characterized. In a recent pilot study, we reported isolation of E.

Passive immunization with specific egg yolk antibodies (immunoglobulin Y, IgY) is emerging as a promising alternative to antibiotics to control bacterial infections. Recently, we developed a novel conjugate vaccine that could trigger a strong immune response in rabbits directed against enterobactin (Ent), a highly conserved siderophore molecule utilized by different Gram-negative pathogens. However, induction of Ent-specific antibodies appeared to be affected by the choice of animal host and vaccination regimen.

Enterobactin (Ent)-mediated high affinity iron acquisition is critically important for Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to survive and infect the host. Recently, we reported an efficient method to prepare novel Ent conjugate vaccines for inducing high level of Ent-specific antibodies, which displayed similar bacteriostatic feature as lipocalins, the host innate immune effectors with potent Ent-binding ability. The Ent-specific antibodies also showed a significant advantage over lipocalins by cross-reacting to various Ent derivatives including salmochelins, the glycosylated Ent that can help enteric pathogens evade the siderophore sequestration by host lipocalins.

Campylobacter is the leading bacterial cause of human enteritis in developed countries. Chicken is a major natural host of Campylobacter. Thus, on-farm control of Campylobacter load in poultry would reduce the risk of human exposure to this pathogen.
