Assessment of the Survivability of Antibiotic Resistant Salmonella in Processed Liquid Eggs

Objective

Obtain data on the growth or destruction of antimicrobial resistant Salmonella in liquid egg products. This information will be used in the formation of growth models for the purpose of assessing potential threats to the U.S. food supply.

More information

Approach: Aliquots of liquid egg products (whole egg, liquid albumen, 10% salted yolk, 10% sugared yolk) will be inoculated with a cocktail of antimicrobial resistant Salmonella Typhimurium. These products will then be incubated at various temperatures to asses the organisms ability to surive or grow under each set of conditions.
