Development of an Intervention that Targets Campylobacter's Amino Acid Fermentation Niche

Objective

To develop a preharvest strategy employing inhibitors of amino acid fermentation, such as thymol and diphenyl iodium chloride (DIC), to reduce carriage of Campylobacter in swine.

More information

Approach: Inhibitors of amino acid fermentation will be tested against Campylobacter spp. in vitro and in vivo to determine optimal levels needed to achieve efficacious control of this pathogen.
