Evaluation of Alternative Cooking and Cooling Procedures for Large, Intact Meat Products to Achieve Lethality and Stabilization Microbiological Performance Standards
(2010-01-16)
This study was conducted to determine if alternative heating times and slower
cooling times, other than those defined by FSIS, could be utilized and still comply with
FSIS performance standards. Large (10.43 to 12.25 kg), ...
Effect of sanitizer treatments on Salmonella enterica serotype Poona on the surface of cantaloupe and cell transfer to the internal tissue during cutting practices
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In recent years, due to the increasing number of produce-related outbreaks,
greater attention has been given to interventions that remove human pathogens on fresh
produce. Survival of Salmonella Poona on the surface and ...
Prevalence of Salmonella sp. in domestic cats in an animal shelter and the comparison of culture and polymerase chain reaction techniques as diagnostic tools
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Previous studies on the prevalence of Salmonella in cats have used a variety of culture methods producing a variety of results, but none have been compared to PCR. Using a double enrichment protocol developed at Texas ...
A comparison of diagnostic techniques for detecting salmonella spp in equine fecal samples using culture methods, gel-based pcr, and real-time pcr assays
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Salmonellae are enteric bacteria infecting animals and humans. Large animal clinics and Veterinary Teaching Hospitals are greatly affected by Salmonella outbreaks and nosocomial infection. The risk of environmental ...
Validation of Texas beef jerky processing
(2009-06-02)
This study evaluated the thermal drying process commonly used by small and
very small beef jerky operations in Texas. It was intended to determine the impact of
relative humidity on the production of beef jerky and to ...
Efficacy of Feeding Treatments and Litter Formulations Against Shedding of Salmonella in Broilers
(2010-07-14)
Research has shown that Salmonella can be prevalent in poultry litter, which can
be a source of contamination for newly arrived chicks at the poultry house. Since this
organism is a pathogen of concern to the poultry ...
Evaluation of pulse electric fields to reduce foodborne pathogen levels in scalder/chiller water during poultry processing
(2009-05-15)
Poultry slaughtering encompasses a series of processing steps with the objective
of harvesting the consumable meat. The scalding process consists of the submersion of
carcasses in hot water tanks to facilitate the removal ...
Comparison of cecal colonization of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium in white leghorn chicks and Salmonella-resistant mice
(2009-05-15)
Salmonellosis is one of the most important bacterial food borne illnesses
worldwide. Among the many Salmonella serotypes, Typhimurium is the most
commonly implicated serotype in human disease in the United States. A major ...
Effects of Cytosine-phosphate-Guanosine Oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN) on vaccination and immunization of neonatal chickens
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of administering
CpG-ODN to commercial strain chickens as a potential adjuvant to vaccination against
Salmonella, Eimeria spp., and Newcastle disease virus, ...
Growth and virulence response of Salmonella typhimurium to soluble Maillard reaction products
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
In order to determine the effects that Maillard Reaction Products (MRP) have on Salmonella Typhimurium, growth rates and virulence expression, in the presence of Maillard reaction products, were observed, using the ...
