Despite the importance of biofilm formation in contamination of meat by pathogenic Escherichia coli at slaughter plants, drivers for biofilm remain unclear. To identify selection pressures for biofilm, we evaluated 745 isolates from cattle and 700 generic E. coli from two beef slaughter plants for motility, expression of curli and cellulose, and biofilm-forming potential. Cattle isolates were also screened for serogroup, stx1 , stx2 , eae and rpoS. Generic E. coli were compared by source (hide of carcass, hide-off carcass, processing equipment) before and after implementation of antimicrobial hurdles. The proportion of E. coli capable of forming biofilms was lowest (7.1%; P < 0.05) for cattle isolates and highest (87.3%; P < 0.05) from equipment. Only one enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) was an extremely-strong biofilm-former, in contrast to 73.4% of E. coli from equipment. Isolates from equipment after sanitation had a greater biofilm-forming capacity ( P < 0.001) than those before sanitation. Most cattle isolates were motile and expressed curli, although these traits along with expression of cellulose and detection of rpoS were not necessary for biofilm formation. In contrast, isolates capable of forming biofilms on equipment were almost exclusively motile and able to express curli. Results of the present study indicate that cattle would rarely carry EHEC capable of making strong biofilms to slaughter plants. However, if biofilm-forming EHEC contaminated equipment, current sanitation procedures may not eliminate the most robust biofilm-forming strains. Accordingly, new and effective anti-biofilm hurdles are required for meat-processing equipment to reduce future instances of food-borne disease. Importance As the majority of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) are not capable of forming biofilms, sources were undetermined of the biofilm-forming EHEC isolated from ‘high-event periods’ in beef slaughter plants. This study demonstrated that sanitation procedures used on beef-processing equipment may inadvertently lead to survival of robust biofilm-forming strains of E. coli . Cattle only rarely carry EHEC capable of forming strong biofilms (1/745 isolates evaluated), but isolates with greater biofilm-forming capacity were more likely ( P < 0.001) to survive equipment sanitation. In contrast, chilling carcasses for 3 days at 0°C reduced ( P < 0.05) the proportion of biofilm-forming E. coli . Consequently, an additional anti-biofilm hurdle for meat-processing equipment, perhaps involving cold exposure, is necessary to further reduce the risk of food-borne disease.

Despite the importance of biofilm formation in contamination of meat by pathogenic Escherichia coli at slaughter plants, drivers for biofilm have been unclear. To identify selection pressures for biofilm, we evaluated 745 'Top 7' from cattle and 700 generic E. coli from two beef slaughter plants for motility, expression of curli and cellulose, and biofilm-forming potential. Top 7 were also screened for serogroup, stx1, stx2, eae and rpoS.  Generic E. coli were compared by source (hide of carcass, hide-off carcass, processing equipment) before and after implementation of antimicrobial hurdles. The proportion of E. coli capable of forming biofilms was lowest (7.1%; P < 0.05) for cattle isolates and highest (87.3%; P < 0.05) from equipment. Only one enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) was an extremely-strong biofilm-former, in contrast to 73.4% of E. coli from equipment. Isolates from equipment after sanitation had a greater biofilm-forming capacity (P < 0.001) than those before sanitation. Most Top 7 were motile and expressed curli, although these traits along with expression of cellulose and presence of rpoS were not necessary for biofilm formation. In contrast, isolates capable of forming biofilms on equipment were almost exclusively motile and able to express curli. Results of the present study indicate that cattle would rarely carry EHEC capable of making strong biofilms to slaughter plants.  However, if biofilm-forming EHEC contaminated equipment, current antimicrobial hurdles would inadvertently perpetuate the most robust biofilm-forming strains. Accordingly, new and effective anti-biofilm hurdles are required for meat-processing equipment, to reduce future instances of food-borne disease.

Information is provided on the causative agents of fasciolosis and the developmental biology of Fasciola hepatica. Fasciolosis of cattle is widespread in the conditions of the Kaluga Region and the Central Federal District on farms of different forms of ownership. The greatest number of F. hepatica eggs in 1 g of feces in cattle is established in JSC "Iskra" - 175,4 specimens, the lowest - in the samples from cows from private farms - 87,6 sp. At the opening slaughter of cattle at meat processing plants region and slaughterhouses invasion of their fasciolae was 34.8%. The average number fascial one infected animal was 32.1 specimens, including adult - and larval specimens of 25.2 and 6.9 copies At veterinary-sanitary expertise and helminthological autopsy of the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts installed year-round invasion fasciolae mainly in the adult stage. Young animals of the current year are infected with fasciola in the pasture massly in August-September, and the extent of invasion in November was 4.3%, for winter-stabling months an average of 12.6%, in March - 17.9% and in April after de-worming - 5.9%.The data obtained in the study of the distribution of the small pond has shown that in the Kaluga region these mollusks are widespread. In this case, the invasion of the small pond snail by larval forms of fasciolae in different years has its own peculiarities, which are influenced by climatic factors.The different dosage forms of clozantel - Rolenol and Santel and Genamectin with mixed fascioliasis and hypodermatosis of bovine in the recommended dose against subcutaneous gadfly larvae - provided 100% efficacy. The tested dosage forms of clozantel are similar in effectiveness against subcutaneous gadfly larvae (EE-100%) and fasciol (EE-95 and 90%, IE-97.4 and 96.3%).The therapeutic and economic effectiveness of complex domestic preparations of Helmicide and Fascocida in spontaneous fascioliasis of cattle is studied.
