Abstract
Fowl typhoid is a septicemic disease caused by Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum. It is a host-specific disease primarily affecting chickens and turkeys, although it has been reported in various animal species and sporadically in humans. Here, we present a case of a fowl typhoid outbreak on a turkey poult farm where the source of infection was the hatchery. The birds started showing symptoms of growth retardation at 21 days of age, after which the mortality rates gradually started to increase. Post mortem examination revealed that the main lesions were granulomatous proliferations in the small intestines. The results of the histopathological examination indicate that the severity of the infection was alleviated by the application of phytogenic mixtures and probiotics as a supportive treatment, even though the affected flock was eventually culled at 60 days of age. The farmer was advised to apply more strict biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of the disease on the farm and try to eradicate the pathogen from the barn. Since the outbreak, there have been no recurrent infections.

Salmonella enterica Serovar Gallinarum Biovars Pullorum and Gallinarum in Poultry: Review of Pathogenesis, Antibiotic Resistance, Diagnosis and Control in the Genomic Era. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 13:23. [PMID: 38247582 PMCID: PMC10812584 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13010023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum (SG) has two distinct biovars, Pullorum and Gallinarum. They are bacterial pathogens that exhibit host specificity for poultry and aquatic birds, causing severe systemic diseases known as fowl typhoid (FT) and Pullorum disease (PD), respectively. The virulence mechanisms of biovars Gallinarum and Pullorum are multifactorial, involving a variety of genes and pathways that contribute to their pathogenicity. In addition, these serovars have developed resistance to various antimicrobial agents, leading to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. Due to their economic and public health significance, rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective control and prevention of these diseases. Conventional methods, such as bacterial culture and serological tests, have been used for screening and diagnosis. However, molecular-based methods are becoming increasingly important due to their rapidity, high sensitivity, and specificity, opening new horizons for the development of innovative approaches to control FT and PD. The aim of this review is to highlight the current state of knowledge on biovars Gallinarum and Pullorum, emphasizing the importance of continued research into their pathogenesis, drug resistance and diagnosis to better understand and control these pathogens in poultry farms.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Abortusequi is a major pathogen in horse and donkey herds, causing abortion in pregnant equids and resulting in enormous economic losses. A rapid and reliable method is urgently needed to detect S. Abortusequi in herds where the disease is suspected. To achieve this goal, a TaqMan-based real-time PCR assay targeting the gene for the flagellin protein phase 2 antigen FljB was developed. This real-time PCR assay had high specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. The detection limit of the assay was 30 copies/μL of standard plasmid and 10 CFU/μL of bacterial DNA. Furthermore, 540 clinical samples, including 162 tissue, 192 plasma, and 186 vaginal swab samples collected between 2018 and 2021 in China, were tested to assess the performance of the developed assay. Compared to the gold standard method of bacterial isolation, the real-time PCR assay exhibited 100% positive agreement for all tissue, plasma and vaginal swab tests. Additionally, this assay detected DNA from S. Abortusequi from 56.7% (34/60) culture-negative tissue and 22.9% (41/179) culture-negative vaginal swab samples from infected equids. Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that the results of the developed real-time PCR assays were in significant agreement with those of the culture method. The real-time PCR assay can be completed within 45 min of extraction of DNA from samples. Our results show that this assay could serve as a reliable tool for the rapid detection of S. Abortusequi in tissue, plasma, and vaginal swab clinical samples.

The effect of oregano essential oil on the prevention and treatment of Salmonella pullorum and Salmonella gallinarum infections in commercial Yellow-chicken breeders. Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:1058844. [PMID: 36619954 PMCID: PMC9812558 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.1058844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
In order to prevent pullorum disease and fowl typhoid in breeders, the use of oregano essential oil (OEO) was tested for the prevention and treatment of infections of multidrug-resistant Salmonella pullorum (SP) and Salmonella gallinarum (SG) in commercial Yellow-chicken breeders. In the challenge-protection experiment, commercial Hongguang-Black 1-day-old breeder chicks were randomly divided into four groups, including A (challenged, preventive dose), B (challenged, treatment dose), C (challenged, untreated), and D (unchallenged, untreated). Group A was supplemented with 200 μL/L OEO in the drinking water during the whole trial (1-35 days of age) and group B was supplemented with 400 μL/L OEO during 8-12 days of age, while groups C and D were kept as untreated controls. At 7 days of age, birds of groups A, B, and C were divided into two subgroups with equal number of birds (A1-A2, B1-B2, and C1-C2), and then subgroups A1, B1, and C1 were challenged with SP, while subgroups A2, B2, and C2 were challenged with SG. Clinical symptoms and death were observed and recorded daily. Every week during the experiment, serum antibodies against SP and SG of all the groups were detected by the plate agglutinate test (PAT). At the age of 35 days, all birds were weighed and necropsied, lesions were recorded and the challenging pathogens were isolated. The results showed that the positive rates of SP and SG isolation in groups A1, A2 and B1, B2 were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than those of groups C1 and C2, respectively, while groups A1 and A2 were slightly lower (P > 0.05) than those of groups B1 and B2. The average body weight (BW) of groups A1 and A2 were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of groups B1, B2 and C1, C2, respectively, but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) with that of group D. The r-value between PAT positive and the recovery rates of Salmonella was 0.99, which means they are highly positively correlated. The results of this study demonstrated that the prevention dose (200μL/L) and the treatment dose (400 μL/L) of OEO supplemented in the drinking water could all effectively decrease infections of SP and SG and that the effect of the prevention was greater than that of the treatment and finally that the prevention could also significantly reduce the BW decline of birds challenged with SP and SG.

Poult Sci 2022; 101:101981.

Abstract
Salmonella is one of the most common Gram-negative pathogens and seriously threatens chicken farms and food safety. This study aimed to establish a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach for the identification of different Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica. The citE2 gene and interval sequence of SPS4_00301–SPS4_00311 existed in all S. enterica subsp. enterica serovars by genomic comparison. By contrast, a 76 bp deletion in citE2 was found only in Salmonella Pullorum. Two pairs of special primers designed from citE2 and interval sequence were used to establish the multiplex PCR system. The optimized multiplex PCR system could distinguish Salmonella Pullorum and non-Salmonella Pullorum. The sensitivity of the optimized multiplex PCR system could be as low as 6.25 pg/μL and 104 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL for genomic DNA and Salmonella Pullorum cells, respectively. The developed multiplex PCR assay distinguished Salmonella Pullorum from 33 different Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotypes and 13 non-target species. The detection of egg samples artificially contaminated with Salmonella Pullorum, Salmonella Enteritidis, and naturally contaminated 69 anal swab samples showed that results were consistent with the culture method. These features indicated that the developed multiplex PCR system had high sensitivity and specificity and could be used for the accurate detection of Salmonella Pullorum in clinical samples.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovars Pullorum (S. Pullorum) is an infectious bacterial pathogen in the poultry industry that causes systemic pullorum disease. This disease causes great losses in terms of the clinical production and quality of chicken products in breeding farms. However, an acknowledged usable rapid detection method for its specific identification has not been reported, and it is generally difficult to distinguish from fowl typhoid caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovars Gallinarum. The development of a specific and rapid detection method for this pathogen is therefore needed. In the present study, we targeted the single-nucleotide mutation position 237 of the S. Pullorum rfbS gene to develop an enzyme-activated blocked probe for its clinical rapid detection. The method displayed robust specificity and reproducibility, and it achieved minimal detection limits of 21 copies/μL of copy number and 4.53 pg/μL of genomic DNA. Compared with traditional identification and PCR methods, this method performed better for the detection of 100 clinical actual samples and without false negative results. The entire process can be accomplished in a 1-step closed-tube operation, overcomes the difficulties currently associated with S. Pullorum detection, and provides a specific and rapid method with broad application potential for SNP detection.

Abstract
S. Pullorum (Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovars Pullorum) is an infectious pathogen that causes the acute systemic disease called Pullorum disease in poultry. This disease causes huge losses to the poultry industry and seriously affects the yield and quality of the chicken product. It is not easily distinguishable with fowl typhoid caused by S. Gallinarum (Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovars Gallinarum), hence the development of a specific and rapid detection method for this pathogen is highly desired. In this study, we propose a novel single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection strategy termed loop primer probe-introduced loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LP-LAMP) for S. Pullorum detection. Based on the original primer sets, we targeted the nucleotide position 237 of the rfbS gene sequence to design a new modified loop-primer probe with a ribonucleotide insertion, where activity of the enzyme ribonuclease H2 (RNase H2) is only activated when the probe is perfectly complementary, leading to the hydrolytic release of a quencher moiety and thus an amplified signal. The method exhibits robust specificity and a low detection limit as the copy number and genomic DNA is 21 copies/μL and 4.92 pg/μL, respectively. This method showed great performance in real sample testing of 130 samples of embryos, livers, and anal swabs from chickens in poultry farms. The experimental results are mainly consistent with traditional identification methods and a PCR method reported in the past. However, the other two methods still contain some false negative results, while our method is without miss detection. The entire closed-tube reaction process can be accomplished within 40 min at a constant temperature (61°C) without the need for expensive instruments or a complicated operation. The LP-LAMP strategy established in this study not only overcomes the existing difficulties of S. Pullorum rapid detection, it also provides a novel, sensitive, and highly specific detection platform for SNPs that is suitable for clinical use.

Abstract
Salmonella spp. are important zoonotic pathogens that are responsible for severe diseases in both animals and humans. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum (S. Gallinarum) and biovar Pullorum (S. Pullorum) are typical infectious pathogens detected in the chicken industry that have caused great economic losses. To facilitate their detection and prevent contamination, we developed a rapid multiple PCR method, which can simultaneously detect Salmonella spp. and further identify the biovars S. Pullorum/Gallinarum. This PCR detection method is based on the cigR gene, which is conserved among Salmonella spp. but has a 42-bp deletion in S. Pullorum/Gallinarum. The specificity and sensitivity of the PCR assay was evaluated with 41 different strains: 34 Salmonella strains, including 5 S. Pullorum/Gallinarum strains, and 7 non-Salmonella strains. The lower limit of detection was 8.15 pg of S. Pullorum (S06004) genomic DNA and 20 cfu in PCR, which shows a great sensitivity. In addition, this method was applied to detect or identify Salmonella from processing chicken liver and egg samples, and the results corresponded to those obtained from serotype analysis using the conventional slide agglutination test. Overall, the new cigR-based PCR assay is efficient and practical for Salmonella detection and S. Pullorum/Gallinarum identification and will greatly reduce the workload of epidemiologic investigation.

Abstract
Background Nontyphoidal Salmonella spp. constitute a major bacterial cause of food poisoning. Each Salmonella serotype causes distinct virulence to humans. Method A small cohort study was conducted to characterize several aspects of Salmonella isolates obtained from stool of diarrheal patients (n = 26) admitted to Phayao Ram Hospital, Phayao province, Thailand. A simple CRISPR 2 molecular analysis was developed to rapidly type Salmonella isolates employing both uniplex and high resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis. Results CRISPR 2 monoplex PCR generated a single Salmonella serotype-specific amplicon, showing S. 4,[5],12:i:- with highest frequency (42%), S. Enteritidis (15%) and S. Stanley (11%); S. Typhimurium was not detected. CRISPR 2 HRM-PCR allowed further classification of S. 4,[5],12:i:- isolates based on their specific CRISPR 2 signature sequences. The highest prevalence of Salmonella infection was during the summer season (April to August). Additional studies were conducted using standard multiplex HRM-PCR typing, which confirmed CRISPR 2 PCR results and, using a machine-learning algorithm, clustered the majority of Salmonella serotypes into six clades; repetitive element-based (ERIC) PCR, which clustered the serotypes into three clades only; antibiogram profiling, which revealed the majority resistant to ampicillin (69%); and test for extended spectrum β-lactamase production (two isolates) and PCR-based detection of bla alleles. Conclusion CRISPR 2 PCR provided a simple assay for detection and identification of clinically-relevant Salmonella serotypes. In conjunction with antibiogram profiling and rapid assay for β-lactamase producers, this approach should facilitate detection and appropriate treatment of Salmonellosis in a local hospital setting. In addition, CRISPR 2 HRM-PCR profiling enabled clustering of S. 4,[5],12:i:-isolates according to CRISPR 2 locus signature sequences, indicative of their different evolutionary trajectories, thereby providing a powerful tool for future epidemiological studies of virulent Salmonella serotypes.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum (S. Gallinarum) and biovar Pullorum (S. Pullorum) are gram-negative bacteria, members of the most important infectious pathogens, and have caused common problems in the poultry industry, especially in the developing countries. O- and H-antigen specific anti-sera are commonly for slide and tube agglutination tests to identify Salmonella serovars. However, it is both labor intensive and time consuming, so there is an urgent need for a new technique for the rapid detection of the major Salmonella serovars. In this study, we developed a 1-step PCR assay to identify the serovar Gallinarum. This PCR-based assay was based on the SPUL_2693 gene, which was located in SPI-19 and found by comparing the genomes of the S. Pullorum and S. Gallinarum in the whole data of NCBI. The specificity of this gene was evaluated by bioinformatics analysis, and the results showed that the SPUL_2693 gene exists in all serovar Gallinarum. The specificity and sensitivity of this PCR assay were evaluated in our study. The developed PCR assay was able to distinguish the serovar Gallinarum from 27 different Salmonella serovars and 5 different non-Salmonella pathogens. The minimum limit of genomic DNA of S. Pullorum for PCR detection was 2.143 pg/μL, and the minimum limit number of cells was 6 CFU. This PCR assay was also applied to analyze Salmonella strains isolated from a chicken farm in this study. The PCR assay properly identified the serovar Gallinarum from other Salmonella serovars, and the results were in agreement with the results of a traditional serotyping assay. In general, the newly developed PCR-based assay can be used to accurately judge the presence of the serovar Gallinarum and can be combined with traditional serotyping assays, especially in the case of large quantities of samples.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovars Pullorum (S. Pullorum) and Gallinarum (S. Gallinarum) can result in pullorum disease and fowl typhoid in avian species, respectively, and cause considerable economic losses in poultry in many developing countries. Conventional Salmonella serotyping is a time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive process, and the two biovars cannot be distinguished using the traditional serological method. In this study, we developed a rapid and reliable one-step multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to simultaneously identify and discriminate the biovars Pullorum and Gallinarum. The multiplex PCR method focused on three specific genes, stn, I137_08605 and ratA. Based on bioinformatics analysis, we found that gene I137_08605 was present only in S. Pullorum and S. Gallinarum, and a region of difference in ratA was deleted only in S. Pullorum after comparison with that of S. Gallinarum and other Salmonella serovars. Three pairs of primers specific for the three genes were designed for the multiplex PCR system and their selectivity and sensitivity were determined. The multiplex PCR results showed that S. Pullorum and S. Gallinarum could be identified and discriminated accurately from all tested strains including 124 strains of various Salmonella serovars and 42 strains of different non-Salmonella pathogens. In addition, this multiplex PCR assay could detect a minimum genomic DNA concentration of 67.4 pg/μL, and 100 colony forming units. The efficiency of the multiplex PCR was evaluated by detecting natural-occurring Salmonella isolates from a chicken farm. The results demonstrated that the established multiplex PCR was able to identify S. Gallinarum and S. Pullorum individually, with results being consistent with traditional serotyping and biochemical testing. These results demonstrated that a highly accurate and simple biovar-specific multiplex PCR assay could be performed for the rapid identification and discrimination of Salmonella biovars Gallinarum and Pullorum, which will be useful, particularly under massive screening situations.

Abstract
Salmonella remains a prominent cause of foodborne illnesses and can originate from a wide range of food products. Given the continued presence of pathogenic Salmonella in food production systems, there is a consistent need to improve identification and detection methods that can identify this pathogen at all stages in food systems. Methods for subtyping have evolved over the years, and the introduction of whole genome sequencing and advancements in PCR technologies have greatly improved the resolution for differentiating strains within a particular serovar. This, in turn, has led to the continued improvement in Salmonella detection technologies for utilization in food production systems. In this review, the focus will be on recent advancements in these technologies, as well as potential issues associated with the application of these tools in food production. In addition, the recent and emerging research developments on Salmonella detection and identification methodologies and their potential application in food production systems will be discussed.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Pullorum (S. Pullorum) is the pathogen of pullorum disease, which leads to severe economic losses in many developing countries. Traditional methods to identify S. enterica have relied on biochemical reactions and serotyping, which are time-consuming with accurate identification if properly carried out. In this study, we developed a rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method targeting the specific gene ipaJ to detect S. Pullorum. Among the 650 S. Pullorum strains isolated from 1962 to 2016 all over China, 644 strains were identified to harbour ipaJ gene in the plasmid pSPI12, accounting for a detection rate of 99.08%. Six strains were ipaJ negative because pSPI12 was not found in these strains according to whole genome sequencing results. There was no cross-reaction with other Salmonella serotypes, including Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum (S. Gallinarum), which show a close genetic relationship with S. Pullorum. This shows that the PCR method could distinguish S. Gallinarum from S. Pullorum in one-step PCR without complicated biochemical identification. The limit of detection of this PCR method was as low as 90 fg/μl or 102 CFU, which shows a high sensitivity. Moreover, this method was applied to identify Salmonella isolated from the chicken farm and the results were consistent with what we obtained from biochemical reactions and serotyping. Together, all the results demonstrated that this one-step PCR method is simple and feasible to efficiently identify S. Pullorum.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Pullorum (Salmonella Pullorum) is highly adapted to chickens causing an acute systemic disease that results in high mortality. Vaccination represents one approach for promoting animal health, food safety and reducing environmental persistence in Salmonella control. An important consideration is that Salmonella vaccination in poultry should not interfere with the salmonellosis monitoring program. This is the basis of the DIVA (Differentiation of Infected and Vaccinated Animals) program. In order to achieve this goal, waaL mutant was developed on a spiC mutant that was developed previously. The safety, efficacy, and DIVA features of this vaccine candidate (Salmonella Pullorum ΔspiCΔwaaL) were evaluated in broilers. Our results show that the truncated LPS in the vaccine strain has a differentiating use as both a bacteriological marker (rough phenotype) and also as a serological marker facilitating the differentiation between infected and vaccinated chickens. The rough mutant showed adequate safety being avirulent in the host chicks and showed increased sensitivity to environmental stresses. Single intramuscular immunization of day-old broiler chicks with the mutant confers ideal protection against lethal wild type challenge by significantly stimulating both humoral and cellular immune responses as well as reducing the colonization of the challenge strain. Significantly lower mean pathology scores were observed in the vaccination group compared to the control group. Additionally, the mutant strain generated cross-protection against challenge with the wild type Salmonella Gallinarum thereby improving survival and with the wild type Salmonella Enteritidis thereby reducing colonization. These results suggest that the double-mutant strain may be a safe, effective, and cross-protective vaccine against Salmonella infection in chicks while conforming to the requirements of the DIVA program.

Pullorum/Gallinarum and S. Dublin. Front Microbiol 2017; 8:420. [PMID: 28360901 PMCID: PMC5352712 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.00420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2017] [Accepted: 02/28/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovars Enteritidis, Pullorum/Gallinarum, and Dublin are infectious pathogens causing serious problems for pig, chicken, and cattle production, respectively. Traditional serotyping for Salmonella is costly and labor-intensive. Here, we established a rapid multiplex PCR method to simultaneously identify three prevalent Salmonella serovars Enteritidis, Pullorum/Gallinarum, and Dublin individually for the first time. The multiplex PCR-based assay focuses on three genes tcpS, lygD, and flhB. Gene tcpS exists only in the three Salmonella serovars, and lygD exists only in S. Enteritidis, while a truncated region of flhB gene is only found in S. Pullorum/Gallinarum. The sensitivity and specificity of the multiplex PCR assay using three pairs of specific primers for these genes were evaluated. The results showed that this multiplex PCR method could accurately identify Salmonella Enteritidis, Pullorum/Gallinarum, and Dublin from eight non-Salmonella species and 27 Salmonella serovars. The least concentration of genomic DNA that could be detected was 58.5 pg/μL and the least number of cells was 100 CFU. Subsequently, this developed method was used to analyze clinical Salmonella isolates from one pig farm, one chicken farm, and one cattle farm. The results showed that blinded PCR testing of Salmonella isolates from the three farms were in concordance with the traditional serotyping tests, indicating the newly developed multiplex PCR system could be used as a novel tool to accurately distinguish the three specific Salmonella serovars individually, which is useful, especially in high-throughput screening.
