摘要

The objectives of this study were to: (1) isolate and characterize Salmonella and enterococci from finished animal by-products, (2) produce and optimize a bacteriophage cocktail against Salmonella, (3) apply the bacteriophages to reduce Salmonella levels on environmental surfaces found in a rendering facility and in raw offal, and (4) use the bacteriophage as a feed additive to reduce or prevent Salmonella infection in mice.;To determine the prevalence of Salmonella and enterococci, two hundred finished meals provided by various rendering facilities across the U.S. were analyzed. While the animal meals were shown to not be a suitable environment for bacterial growth (moisture content 1.9 to 11.5%), these products did contain enterococci and Salmonella. Enterococci were detected in 83% of the samples and accounted for up to 54% of the total bacterial count, which ranged from 1.7 to 6.8 log CFU/g. Characterization of the enterococci isolates revealed that only 3 isolates were resistant to vancomycin (32 mug/ml).;As a means to prevent or reduce Salmonella contamination, bacteriophages were isolated from raw chicken offal that would be used for rendering. Bacteriophages were isolated by using the Salmonella spp. isolated previously from the finished meals as the host bacteria. For further study, five of the isolated bacteriophages (n = ?) were selected to produce a cocktail for bacteriophage treatment studies. The optimized bacteriophage cocktail was able to successfully reduce Salmonella levels on all tested environmental surfaces.;In addition to the surface materials, the bacteriophage cocktail was shown to reduce Salmonella levels in raw chicken offal. When treating irradiated raw offal that was artificially contaminated with the Salmonella cocktail (105 CFU/g), the bacteriophage cocktail reduced Salmonella levels by ca. 2.0, 2.7, and 2.5 log CFU/g at 20°, 30°, and 40°C, respectively. The bacteriophage was also capable of reducing Salmonella levels to the same degree, i.e., ca. 2.0, 2.2, and 2.2 log CFU/g at 20°, 30°, and 40°C, respectively, in the non-sterile raw chicken offal at the presence of background microorganisms.;The bacteriophage cocktail was also evaluated as a feed additive. The bacteriophage cocktail was lyophilized and added into the animal meals (blood, feather, and poultry), which were artificially contaminated with a five-strain Salmonella cocktail at initial level of ca. 105 CFU/g. A series of dehydration studies revealed that the addition of dehydrated bacteriophages to finished meals does not reduce the level of Salmonella present upon rehydration; however, there was an observable difference between those samples containing the bacteriophages and those that did not after 12 h of rehydration, with those containing the bacteriophages having lower levels of Salmonella (ca. 2 log CFU/g difference ??). Our results also revealed that the bacteriophage cocktail's stability was reduced quickly when applied in a dehydrated form.;The liquid bacteriophage was then supplemented into animal feed and given to mice during an animal trial. The mice that had been given a diet containing the bacteriophage for a period of a week prior to Salmonella inoculation were not infected as evidenced through fecal sampling. These mice shed no Salmonella in their feces over a 4 week period. Mice that had not been given the diet supplemented with the bacteriophage shed Salmonella in their feces for a period of 2.5 weeks. Histological analysis of the liver and intestine also indicated no observable signs of inflammation in those mice given the bacteriophages. In mice not receiving the bacteriophage treatment, venous dilation, cholangiohepatitis, and monocytes in the portal areas were observed in the liver.;Our results indicate that the Salmonella contamination of finished rendered meals is likely the source of cross-contamination between the environment or the incoming raw material and the finished products. The risk for cross-contamination may be reduced through the use of bacteriophage treatment which was found to reduce ca. 99 to 99.9% of Salmonella levels on both the environmental surfaces and raw material. The bacteriophage cocktail was also found to have the potential to be used as a feed additive to reduce pathogen levels within an animal host when added to the feed in liquid form just prior to consumption.
