Bacteriophages as Biocontrol Agents of Foodborne
Bacterial Pathogens
Srinivasa Rao T., Lakshmi Kavitha K.
NTR College of Veterinary Science, Gannavaram-521102, Andhra Pradesh, India
Abstract Foodborne bacterial pathogens continue to be a serious food safety problem worldwide.
At present, the leading causes of death due to foodborne bacterial pathogens are Listeria, Salmonella, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Campylobacter jejuni. The process of making
food safe is never-ending, and as a result, food safety experts, microbiologists, and
industry insiders are constantly searching for new ways to improve the food safety system. Within the last few years, food growers and producers have begun to use a novel
means of improving food safety through the use of bacteriophages. These phages, also known as lytic viruses, take up residence inside certain strains of foodborne bacteria,
begin multiplying, and eventually destroy the bacterial cell. With today’s awareness on
the use of fresh foods without chemical preservatives, there is a need for novel preservation strategies. Treatment with specific phages in the food industry can prevent
the decay of products and the spread of bacterial diseases and ultimately promote safe
environments in animal food production, processing, and handling. This review discusses the current status of use of bacteriophages as biopreservatives to prevent the spoilage of
foods and to kill the foodborne pathogens.
Keywords: Foodborne pathogens, Listeria, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter

Changes in Biochemical Profile in Hemorrhagic
Gastroenteritis in Dogs
Raju Sharma, Ashok Kumar*, Rajendra Yadav
LLR University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Hisar-125004, Haryana, India
Abstract The present study was conducted on 40 dogs having hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Blood
biochemistry revealed decrease in sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and glucose, with slight decrease in total serum protein, albumin and globulin, while there was
increase in alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and blood urea nitrogen
values. Following treatment there was increase in sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and glucose values with a decrease in alanine aminotransferase, alkaline
phosphatase and blood urea nitrogen values.

Abstract The present work was carried out to study the effect of dietary supplementation of Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) and selenium on performance in broiler chicken. A total of forty-two
broiler day-old chicks divided into six groups of seven each were used for this study. O.
sanctum leaf powder (0.25 and 0.5%), organic selenium (0.3 ppm) and their
combinations were added to the basal diet. Body weight and feed consumption were
recorded at weekly intervals. The mean body weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and cumulative feed consumption did not vary significantly (P > 0.05) among the groups
during the trial period. It is concluded that dietary supplementation of O. sanctum at 0.25
and 0.5% levels and its combination with selenium (0.3 ppm) cannot significantly change the growth performance in broilers.

Molecular Detection of Leptospira Using Polymerase
Chain Reaction Based on LipL32 and rpoB Gene
Chandan S, Umesha S* Department of Studies in Biotechnology, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri,
Mysore-570006, Karnataka, India
Abstract Leptospirosis is an emerging disease for which culture and identification are partly
unresolved. In fact, 16S rRNA-based sequencing is the most widely used PCR
methodology that can detect such uncultivable pathogens. However, this assay has some
limitations linked to potential problems of contamination, which hampers diagnosis. To
overcome this, the authors have a simple PCR strategy involving targeting of the gene encoding the LipL32 and RNA polymerase β subunit (rpoB), a highly conserved enzyme.
We report here a case study of Leptospira-infected samples; Leptospira has been isolated from biological samples. Leptospirosis is a septicemia bacterial disease affecting animals
and human being, the infection may be symptomatic, mild or severe and acute or chronic.
PCR assay targeting partial rpoB and LipL32 gene of Leptospira using primers, with a product size of 600 and 532 base pair long which are Leptospira specific, where rpoB
detects both pathogenic and non-pathogenic and efficacy of LipL32 primer capable of
amplifying conserved outer membrane protein (OMP) gene. LipL32 is the major leptospiral outer membrane lipoprotein expressed during infection. The sequence of the
Leptospira rpoB gene was determined and compared with the published sequence. The findings have significant implications for the development of a new tool for identification
of spirochetes, especially if clinical samples are contaminated.

Abstract In order to assess the status of copper, zinc and iron in drinking water sources of animals of different districts of Haryana state, a survey work was carried out. All the districts
were divided into two zones on the basis of different agro-climatic conditions. The present study was carried out with the objective to know the status of these trace minerals
in feeds and fodders of all the districts of Haryana. At the same time, to know the status
of these minerals in the animal body, samples of milk, hair and tissues were also collected. Water also gets contaminated with these minerals, due to corrosion of pipes,
fertilizers, industrial waste, etc. So water samples from different sources, i.e., hand pump and tube well were also collected to see the content of Cu, Zn and Fe. Total 148 samples
of water were collected from all the districts of Haryana. To check the contamination of
water by trace minerals, the copper, zinc and iron content of water was estimated. The copper content of water from both hand pump and tube well was 0.037 ppm which was
within a normal range. The zinc content of water from tube well and hand pump was
0.031 and 0.043 ppm respectively. These values were lower than the maximum permissible level of 5 ppm. With respect to iron, the value obtained was 0.29 ppm which
is close to the maximum permissible level.
Keywords: Iron, Copper, Zinc, Water, Livestock, Haryana
