A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Campylobacter Species Prevalence in Chicken in Italy. [PDF]
• This systematic review summarizes the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in different chicken matrices in Italy over the last 20 years, which may be useful for conducting quantitative microbial risk assessment in the future. • Higher Campylobacter spp.

Cloacal Swabs Are Unreliable Sources for Estimating Lower Gastro-Intestinal Tract Microbiota Membership and Structure in Broiler Chickens [PDF]
The gastrointestinal microbiota of chickens plays a central role in health and performance. Cloacal swabs, due to their proximity to the ceca (a vital site of functional activity), are an alternative, non-invasive method used for assaying microbial ...

Detecting Campylobacter coli in young chicks using two different cloacal swab techniques
SUMMARY It is important to determine whether valuable broiler-breeder chicks are contaminated with Campylobacter. It is important to have a non-destructive method to determine whether microorganisms such as Campylobacter are present without sacrificing the animal.

Using DNA Metabarcoding of Cloacal Swabs to Elucidate the Diets of Four Coastal Shark Species
The Atlantic sharpnose (Rhizoprionodon terraenovae), blacknose (Carcharhinus acronotus), blacktip (Carcharhinus limbatus), and bonnethead (Sphyrna tiburo) sharks are commonly encountered large mobile consumers found in the estuaries along the western ...

Identification and Pathogenicity of Escherichia coli from Cloacal Swabs
Colibacillosisis is an infectious disease in poultry caused by pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) as primary or secondary agents. This study were aim to identify and test the pathogenicity ofE. coli isolated from chicken cloacal swabs. The samples used in this study were E. coli isolated from chicken cloacal swabs as many as 42 samples.

Recovered microbiome of an oviparous lizard differs across gut and reproductive tissues, cloacal swabs, and faeces [PDF]
AbstractMicrobial diversity and community function are related, and can be highly specialized in different gut regions. The cloacal microbiome of Sceloporus virgatus females provides antifungal protection to eggshells, a specialized function that suggests a specialized microbiome. Here, we describe the cloacal, intestinal, and oviductal microbiome from

Detection of ALV p27 in cloacal swabs and virus isolation medium by sELISA [PDF]
Abstract Background Avian leukosis (AL), which is caused by avian leukosis virus (ALV), has led to substantial economic losses in the poultry industry. The kit used to detect all ALV-positive chickens in breeder flocks is very important for efficiently controlling AL. However, a new emerging ALV subtype is

Choice of Commercial DNA Extraction Method Does Not Affect 16S Sequencing Outcomes in Cloacal Swabs [PDF]
As the applications of microbiome science in agriculture expand, laboratory methods should be constantly evaluated to ensure optimization and reliability of downstream results. Most animal microbiome research uses fecal samples or rectal swabs for profiling the gut bacterial community; however, in birds, this is difficult given the unique anatomy of ...
