Salmonellaspp. can be widely spread by air or contaminated food. There are sixcommon pathogenic Escherichia coli whichaccount for 4–8% of all E. coli pathogens. Amongstthem, E. coliO157 is the most commonlyknown. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of diarrhoeapathogens, referred to as Salmonellaspp.andEscherichia coli(E. coli), in pet dogs in western Taiwan using the conventionalpolymerase chain reaction (PCR). The related analysis between the prevalence rates and the epidemiological data of pet dogs was correlated with age, season, area and breed. Faecalsamples were collected from240dogs which had symptoms of diarrhoeaand had been examined byveterinaryhospitals from January 2015 to January 2017. The …

Clay is an important material available in nature. Montmorillonite is considered viable for producing enhanced performance in a variety of materials and products. Farmed animals such as pigs and poultry receive additional Zn and Cu in their diets as supplements in their compound feed and these elements are also used for medical remedies. This study aimed to observe the bactericidal activity of copper-bearing montmorillonite (Cu-MMT) against Salmonella spp. in vitro. The experiments were divided into two methods that effect Salmonella spp.. First, Cu-MMT was used to precipitate the Cu2+ ion supernatant mixed with bacteria. The second, Cu-MMT was directly mixed …
