ABSTRACT.- Rodrigues M.A.M., Oliveira D.A., Taketomi E.A. & Hernandez-Blazquez F.J. 2007. IgA production, coliforms analysis and intestinal mucosa morphology of piglets that received probiotics with viable or inactivated cells. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 27(6):241-245.

Two types of probiotics were used in piglets. One product is a mixed culture of viable Lactobacillus acidophilus, Enterococcus faecium e Bifidobacterium bifidum. The second product is composed of inactivated Lactobacillus acidophilus cells. The piglets received two weekly oral doses for 30 days while a control group did not receive probiotics. All piglets were euthanized at the 30th day of life and the mesenteric lymph nodes, the small intestine, and blood samples were collected. The tissue samples were studied by light microscopy and the blood serum was analyzed by ELISA method. The treatment with the probiotic with viable cells produced higher serum levels of IgA (P<0.05) and more IgA expressing cells were found in the mesenteric lymph nodes than observed in the inactivated cells treatment or control groups (P<0.05). Also, intestinal villi were longer, crypts were deeper (P<0.05) and fecal coliform count was lower than found in the inactivated product (P<0.05). These results suggest that viable probiotics are more efficient than inactivated probiotics to induce immunostimulation and intestinal modifications in piglets, thus improving their health and development.

#2 - Efficacy of selenite-novobiocin and tetrathionate-novobiocin. broths in survey of Salmonella from meat meal
Abstract in English:
Selenite-novobiocin (SN) and tetrathionate-novobiocin (TN) broths were compared for the isolation of Salmonella from meat meal, It was also investigated the correlation between the occurrence of the indicator organisms and of Salmonella. SN and TN were equally effective. It was verified that none of these indicator groups (total coliforms and fecal coliforms) are reliable as an index for Salmonella contamination in meat meals. There was no correlation between Salmonella counts and the number of isolated Salmonella colonies.
Abstract in Portuguese:
Os caldos selenito-novobiocina (SN) e tetrationat-onovobiocina (TN) foram comparados durante o isolamento de Salmonella de amostras de farinha de carne utilizadas para fabricação de ração animal. Também, foram realizadas contagens de Salmonella e de coliformes (total e fecal) para verificar se é possível estabelecer alguma correlação entre a presença de coliformes e a presença e o isolamento de Salmonella. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, o caldo SN e o caldo TN demonstraram rendimento semelhante. As contagens de coliformes (total e fecal) segundo a análise estatística, não apresentaram correlação alguma (positiva ou negativa) com a contagem de Salmonella e com o número de cepas isoladas através dos caldos SN e TN. Também não foi constatada correlação entre a contagem de Salmonella e o número de cepas isoladas.
