Longitudinal study of Salmonella enterica in growing pigs reared in multiple-site swine production systems

VETERINARY MICROBIOLOGY, 83(1), 45–60.

By: J. Funk n, P. Davies* & M. Nichols n

author keywords: Salmonella enterica; pig-bacteria; food safety
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / microbiology; Animal Husbandry; Animals; Cohort Studies; Feces / microbiology; Longitudinal Studies; Prevalence; Risk Factors; Salmonella Infections, Animal / epidemiology; Salmonella Infections, Animal / microbiology; Salmonella enterica / classification; Salmonella enterica / isolation & purification; Serotyping / veterinary; Swine; Swine Diseases / epidemiology; Swine Diseases / microbiology
TL;DR: It is suggested that cohort level, as opposed to farm or company level events or management practices, may be important as potential risk factors for S. enterica on swine farms and may suggest that uncontrolled studies of interventions to control S. entersica may yield misleading results.

2000 journal article

The effect of fecal sample weight on detection of Salmonella enterica in swine feces

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC INVESTIGATION, 12(5), 412–418.

By: J. Funk n, P. Davies n & M. Nichols n

MeSH headings : Animals; Colony Count, Microbial; Feces / microbiology; Female; Male; Rectum; Reproducibility of Results; Salmonella Infections, Animal / diagnosis; Salmonella enterica / isolation & purification; Sensitivity and Specificity; Specimen Handling; Swine; Swine Diseases / diagnosis; Swine Diseases / microbiology
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fecal sample weight can markedly influence estimates of prevalence of S. enterica in epidemiologic studies and failure to consider the imperfect sensitivity of bacterial culture in the design and interpretation of epidemiologists' studies will lead to underestimation of prevalence and reduced power to detect the presence of the disease.
