2004 journal article

Characterization of Antimicrobial-Resistant Phenotypes and Genotypes among Salmonella enterica Recovered from Pigs on Farms, from Transport Trucks, and from Pigs after Slaughter

Journal of Food Protection, 67(4), 698–705.

By: W. Gebreyes n, P. Davies n, P. Turkson n, W. Morgan Morrow n, J. Funk n, C. Altier n, S. Thakur n

MeSH headings : Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Colony Count, Microbial; Drug Resistance, Bacterial; Drug Resistance, Multiple, Bacterial; Electrophoresis, Gel, Pulsed-Field; Genotype; Microbial Sensitivity Tests; Phenotype; Salmonella enterica / classification; Salmonella enterica / drug effects; Swine / microbiology
TL;DR: Isolates from the trucks were similar, based on pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns, to those from the cecum and mesenteric lymph nodes of pigs on two of the farms, suggesting the probable infection of pigs during transport. (via Semantic Scholar)

2004 journal article

Salmonella enterica serovars from pigs on farms and after slaughter and validity of using bacteriologic data to define herd Salmonella status

JOURNAL OF FOOD PROTECTION, 67(4), 691–697.

By: W. Gebreyes n, P. Davies n, P. Turkson n, W. Morrow n, J. Funk n & C. Altier n

MeSH headings : Abattoirs; Animals; Cecum / microbiology; Cross Infection / prevention & control; Feces / microbiology; Food Contamination / prevention & control; Food Handling / methods; Lymph Nodes / microbiology; Salmonella Infections, Animal / epidemiology; Salmonella enterica / isolation & purification; Swine / microbiology; Swine Diseases / epidemiology; Transportation
TL;DR: The results support recent findings that risk of exposure to Salmonella during transport and lairage remains a concern under contemporary industry conditions and imply that slaughter plant studies based on phenotyping of Salmonea alone (such as serovars) may not reliably indicate the Salmoneella status of commercial swine farms.

2000 journal article

Comparison of methods for isolating Salmonella bacteria from faeces of naturally infected pigs

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 89(1), 169–177.

By: P. Davies n, P. Turkson n, J. Funk n, M. Nichols n, S. Ladely* & P. Fedorka-Cray*

MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteriological Techniques; Culture Media; Feces / microbiology; Salmonella / growth & development; Salmonella / isolation & purification; Salmonella Infections, Animal / diagnosis; Salmonella Infections, Animal / microbiology; Sensitivity and Specificity; Swine Diseases / diagnosis; Swine Diseases / microbiology; Temperature
TL;DR: The results highlight the imperfect sensitivity of culture methods, and the need for researchers to consider the sensitivity of bacteriological methods in the design and interpretation of the results of epidemiologic studies based on faecal culture. (via Semantic Scholar)

Perceived constraints to privatization of delivery of veterinary services in Ghana

TROPICAL ANIMAL HEALTH AND PRODUCTION, 31(2), 103–114.

By: P. Turkson n & C. Brownie n

author keywords: animal health; finance; Ghana; privatization; resources; veterinary services
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Domestic; Ghana; Humans; Privatization / economics; Privatization / organization & administration; Surveys and Questionnaires; Veterinarians / economics; Veterinarians / psychology; Veterinary Medicine / economics; Veterinary Medicine / organization & administration
TL;DR: If privatization of veterinary services is to succeed in Ghana, perceptions have to be addressed and solutions found, since veterinarians are the targets of the privatization process. (via Semantic Scholar)

Perceptions of veterinarians regarding privatization of veterinary services delivery in Ghana and Jamaica

PREVENTIVE VETERINARY MEDICINE, 40(3-4), 221–232.

By: P. Turkson n, B. Slenning n & C. Brownie n

author keywords: privatization; veterinary services; delivery system; Ghana; Jamaica; information systems

TL;DR: The objective of this study was to find out if perceptions of the veterinarians from these two countries on certain issues of privatization were sufficiently different to explain the willingness or reluctance to go into private practice. (via Semantic Scholar)
