248 Salmonella – A Dangerous Foodborne Pathogen

of *Salmonella* in grass fed cattle in ND was 7.1%, relatively higher than some studies have reported. *Salmonella* Typhimurium was the most common cause of salmonellosis in animals in North Dakota. *Salmonella* Typhimurium (Copenhagen) serotype was identified as the major serotype that was being shed by ranch beef cattle. The data show that multi-drug resistance was widespread among the *Salmonella* recovered from apparently healthy grass fed cattle. The emergence of multi-drug resistant *Salmonella* reduces the therapeutic options in cases of invasive infections and has been shown to be associated with an increased

The study of salmonella occurrence in dairy cattle demonstrated that a substantial percentage of cattle in this dairy was shedding *Salmonella* in the feces, and antimicrobial resistance among the five *Salmonella* isolates was widespread*.* It is possible that some management practices of dairies related to antimicrobial use may contribute to developing *Salmonella* serotypes that are resistant to antimicrobials. The study on *Salmonella* occurrence in a bison herd indicated that Salmonellae were shed in feces of bison at a comparable prevalence to that of cattle herds in the US, and that the isolates were multidrug resistant. The data contribute to risk assessment of *Salmonella* in bison and highlight the possible existence of antimicrobial resistance in bison. The multi-drug resistance reported among the *Salmonella* isolates warrants further study considering that the serotype *S.* Typhimurium is widely distributed and has the potential of greatly impacting human and animal health. The study on retail meats indicate that turkey meat products from retail stores may occasionally be contaminated with *Salmonella* possessing a varied spectrum of antimicrobial resistance. The contamination was dependent on the type of meat and the time of sampling. These data confirm that both raw and ready to eat retail turkey meat products may be vehicles for transmitting salmonellosis, some of which is resistant to antimicrobials justifying the need

The study that compared *Salmonella* isolates from clinical cases of humans and animals reported that human isolates were more diverse than cattle or other domestic animal species. PFGE results confirmed occurrence of similar *Salmonella* genotypes in both domestic animals and humans, with the isolation in cattle preceding those in humans. This suggests a spread of infection from domestic animals to humans. AMR profiles showed that domestic animal strains were multidrug resistant. Only 1 human isolate had similar PFGE profile as cattle isolates with a similar range of multidrug resistance, providing a single evidence of a possible AMR transmission from cattle to humans. This study demonstrated that although there were similar *Salmonella* genotypes from domestic animals and humans, the AMR levels observed in domestic animal isolates was higher than in humans, implying that cattle or food animals may not play a significant role in transmitting AMR to S*almonella* in humans and that the occurrence of resistance in animal isolates may not translate directly into

*Salmonella enterica* serovars continue to be among the most important foodborne pathogens worldwide due to the considerable human rates of illness reported and the wide range of hosts that are colonized by members of this genus, which serve as vectors and reservoirs for spreading these agents to animal and human populations. Furthermore, public concern for the appearance of resistant strains to many antibiotics, particularly among zoonotic pathogens such as common *Salmonella* isolates, is also challenging the poultry industry to find alternative means of control (Boyle, Bishop, Grassl, & Finlay, 2007). For example, in January 2006 Europe implemented a complete ban on growth promoting antibiotics in animal feed (Anadon, Martinez-Larranaga, & Aranzazu Martinez, 2006). Thus, while attempting to control human foodborne pathogens poultry producers are simultaneously challenged to improve production in the face of increasing feed costs while using fewer antibiotics due to increased restriction of antimicrobial usage. These regulations were implemented because of export market restrictions and consumer or customer preferences in local markets. For these reasons continued research on sustainable alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters for animal production such as probiotics or direct fed microbials (DFM) consisting of live or dead organisms and spores (Patterson & Burkholder, 2003), non-traditional chemicals (Ko, Mendoncam, Ismail, & Ahn, 2009), bacteriophages (Andreatti Filho et al., 2007; Bielke, Higgins, Donoghue, Donoghue, & Hargis, 2007; J. P. Higgins et al., 2005; J. P. Higgins, Andreatti Filho et al., 2008), organic acids and other plant extracts and essential oils (Aengwanich & Suttajit, 2010; Allen-Hall, Arnason, Cano, & Lafrenie, 2010; Bagchi et al., 2000; Kubena, Byrd, Young, & Corrier, 2001; Over, Hettiarachchy, Johnson, & Davis, 2009; Van Immerseel et al., 2006), and vaccines (Kremer et al., 2011; O'Meara et al., 2010; Wolfenden et al., 2010; Van Immerseel et al., 2005; Dueger et al., 2001, 2003) are increasingly more important. These potential solutions have emerged in the last decade as tools that could be potentially useful in the near future for pathogen

Probiosis, although not a new concept, has only recently begun to receive an increasing level of scientific interest. In agriculture, probiotics and DFMs used in animal feed are becoming accepted as potential alternatives to antibiotics for use as growth promoters, and in select cases, for control of specific enteric pathogens (Anadón, Rosa Martínez-Larrañaga, & Aranzazu Martínez, 2006; Boyle et al., 2007; Cartman, La Ragione, & Woodward, 2008; Vila et al., 2009; L. D. Williams, Burdock, Jimenez, & Castillo, 2009). For these reasons the
