TLDR
The diversity and predominance of food commodities implicated in outbreaks of salmonellosis during 1998–2008 were examined to clarify links between Salmonella serotypes and specific foods.Abstract:
Salmonella enterica infections are transmitted not only by animal-derived foods but also by vegetables, fruits, and other plant products. To clarify links between Salmonella serotypes and specific foods, we examined the diversity and predominance of food commodities implicated in outbreaks of salmonellosis during 1998-2008. More than 80% of outbreaks caused by serotypes Enteritidis, Heidelberg, and Hadar were attributed to eggs or poultry, whereas >50% of outbreaks caused by serotypes Javiana, Litchfield, Mbandaka, Muenchen, Poona, and Senftenberg were attributed to plant commodities. Serotypes Typhimurium and Newport were associated with a wide variety of food commodities. Knowledge about these associations can help guide outbreak investigations and control measures.read more

Incubation periods of enteric illnesses in foodborne outbreaks, United States, 1998-2013.
TL;DR: The results can help guide diagnostic and investigative strategies early in an outbreak investigation to suggest or rule out specific etiologies or, when the pathogen is known, the likely timeframe for exposure.

TL;DR: Overall, the very close genetic and phenotypic traits shown by isolates from humans, poultry, and seabirds suggest the inter-species transmission of S. Enteritidis bacteria between hosts, likely through anthropogenic environmental contamination that determines infection of seab birds with bacteria that are potentially pathogenic for other susceptible organism, including humans.

Poor biofilm forming ability and long-term survival of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium ST313
TL;DR: This study for the first time demonstrates the comparative biofilm-forming ability and long-term survival of clinical Salmonella Typhimurium ST19 and ST313 isolates and suggests that like Salmoneella Typhi, Salmonello Typhi lack mechanisms that allow it to persist in the environment.

Salmonella in Chicken Meat: Consumption, Outbreaks, Characteristics, Current Control Methods and the Potential of Bacteriophage Use
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use bacteriophages to control Salmonella in chicken processing plants, which is an ongoing challenge for many factories around the globe, especially with the increasing demand for poultry escalating processing throughputs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus paracasei Attenuate Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Heidelberg and Salmonella Typhimurium Colonization and Virulence Gene Expression In Vitro.
TL;DR: Results of the study indicate that LD, LP, and LR could potentially be used to control SE, ST, and SH colonization in chicken and lead to a significant reduction in Salmonella virulence gene expression.

TL;DR: The incidence of most infections is increasing, including those caused by Campylobacter and Salmonella, which might be partially attributable to the increased use of culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDTs).

The growing burden of foodborne outbreaks due to contaminated fresh produce: risks and opportunities.
TL;DR: Outbreak investigations represent important opportunities to evaluate contamination at the farm level and along the farm-to-fork continuum and more research into the biology and ecology of pathogen-produce interactions are needed to identify better prevention strategies.
