Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for inhibiting the growth of food-borne pathogens, nosocomial pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, the method comprising the steps of: contacting at least one lactic acid bacterium strain selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus salivarius (L14, L28 and FS56), a mixture thereof; or a whey obtained from fermentation of the lactic acid bacterium strain with the microorganisms.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for inhibiting the growth of pathogens in an animal feed comprising the steps of: contacting an animal feed with at least one lactic acid bacterium strain selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus salivarius (L14, L28 and FS56), a mixture thereof; or a whey obtained from fermentation of the lactic acid bacterium strain, wherein the at least one lactic acid bacterium strain inhibits the growth of the pathogens, the nosocomial pathogens or the spoilage microorganisms in the pet food.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a set of oligonucleotides to screen for the presence of targeted Salmonella serotypes in enrichment or to characterize presumptive colonies. The set of oligonucleotides includes at least one set of primers and probe for the detection of Salmonella serotype selected from Newport, Heidelberg, Infantis, and Hadar and to discriminate between. These new markers can be used after the initial screening assay described herein as a discrimination assay to differentiate S. Heidelberg from S. Infantis and S. Hadar from S. Newport.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a set of oligonucleotides to screen for the presence of targeted Salmonella serotypes in an enrichment or to characterize presumptive colonies. The set of oligonucleotides includes at least one set of primers and probe for the detection of Salmonella serotype selected from Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Newport, Heidelberg, Infantis, Virchow and Hadar. The set of oligonucleotides may include up to 5 different primer sets and the corresponding probes.
