Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial use in Belgian broiler production
Davy Persoons,Jeroen Dewulf,Annemieke Smet,Lieve Herman,Marc Heyndrickx,An Martel,Boudewijn Catry,Patrick Butaye,Freddy Haesebrouck +8 more
TL;DR: Tylosin was underdosed in most of the administrations whereas amoxicillin and trimethoprim-sulphonamide were slightly overdosed in the average flock.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tolerogenic mucosal immune response leads to persistent Campylobacter jejuni colonization in the chicken gut
David Hermans,Frank Pasmans,Marc Heyndrickx,Filip Van Immerseel,An Martel,Kim Van Deun,Freddy Haesebrouck +6 more
TL;DR: This review discusses the chicken intestinal mucosal immune response upon C. jejuni entrance, leading to tolerance and persistent cecal colonization in chicks and to develop effective control measures to clear this zoonotic pathogen from poultry lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mycotoxin Deoxynivalenol Potentiates Intestinal Inflammation by Salmonella Typhimurium in Porcine Ileal Loops
Virginie Vandenbroucke,Siska Croubels,An Martel,Elin Verbrugghe,Joline Goossens,Kim Van Deun,Filip Boyen,Arthur Thompson,Neil Shearer,Patrick De Backer,Freddy Haesebrouck,Frank Pasmans +11 more
TL;DR: Data imply that the intake of low and relevant concentrations of DON renders the intestinal epithelium more susceptible to Salmonella Typhimurium with a subsequent potentiation of the inflammatory response in the gut.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intestinal mucus protects Campylobacter jejuni in the ceca of colonized broiler chickens against the bactericidal effects of medium-chain fatty acids
David Hermans,An Martel,K. Van Deun,Marc Verlinden,F. Van Immerseel,An Garmyn,Winy Messens,Marc Heyndrickx,Freddy Haesebrouck,Frank Pasmans +9 more
TL;DR: Despite the marked bactericidal effect of MCFA in vitro, supplementing these acids to the feed does not reduce cecal Campylobacter colonization in broiler chickens under the applied test conditions, probably due to the protective effect of the mucus layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of the erm (B) Gene, tetracycline Resistance Genes, and Tn1545-like Transposons in Macrolide- and Lincosamide-Resistant Enterococci from Pigs and Humans
TL;DR: The similar frequencies of resistance genes and the highly mobile Tn1545-like transposon among porcine and human enterococci might indicate exchange of resistant strains or their resistance genes between humans and pigs or the existence of a common reservoir.
