Abstract

Salmonella is one of the major foodborne bacterial pathogens, and the consumption of contaminated chicken meats isa primary route of Salmonella transmission into human food chains. However, the mechanism of Salmonella transmission within the chicken flock is not fully understood, including competition among Salmonella strains during chicken infection. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the competitive exclusion (CE) between different or same Salmonella species consecutively challenged through the oral route. Two different approaches were used to evaluate the CE effect, including tracking Salmonella colonization by wild-type strains with difference in natural antibiotic resistance or DNA barcode-tagged isogenic strains. When day-of-hatch chicks were administered by wild-type S. Typhimurium (ST) on day 1, followed by infection on day 2 by S. Enteritidis (SE) or vice versa, most of the birds were colonized only by the first strains administered (82% by ST or 83% by SE). When similar experiments were performed using two different isogenic barcode-tagged SE strains, Illumina sequencing analysis of the barcode region showed that the first barcode-tagged strains administered were dominant strains, ranging from 92 to 99% of the Salmonella recovered from ceca. These results provide quantitative evidence supporting the CE theory that oral administration of Salmonella will produce predominant inhibition over the subsequent colonization of ceca by the following administration one day later by different or same Salmonella species. We also showed that the use of barcode-tagged isogenic strains in combination with deep profiling of barcodes by Illumina sequencing can serve as a quantitative method for studying complex dynamics of Salmonella infection, transmission and colonization in poultry.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 May 2018.
All research outputs
#13,082,212
of 23,054,359 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Veterinary Science
#1,633
of 6,352 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#158,710
of 327,731 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Veterinary Science
#44
of 79 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,054,359 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,352 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,731 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 79 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
