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

TL;DR: The antimicrobial resistance (AMR), plasmid, virulence profiles and molecular subtypes of S. Typhimurium Indian isolates of clinical and environmental origin isolated during 2010–2017 were determined to help in effective control of spread of resistant organisms.

Phenotypic characteristics and genotypic correlation of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) Salmonella isolates from a poultry slaughterhouse and its downstream retail markets
TL;DR: It is indicated that MDR isolates could be transmitted from slaughterhouse to its downstream retail markets and three possible routes of Salmonella contamination in retail chicken meat are indicated, including initial presence, cross-contamination from carrier broilers slaughtered on the same day, and contamination from resident flora in slaughterhouse.

TL;DR: Antimicrobial susceptibility tests conducted by a disc diffusion method against amoxicillin–clavulanic acid, ampicillin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxic acid, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, tetracycline and trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole showed that drug resistance is minimal, with intermediate susceptibility, mainly to stre

TL;DR: It is shown that a diversity of NTS-clones are present in Ugandan poultry farm settings, while at the same time similar NTS-Clones occur in different farms and areas, hence the need to strengthen strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance at all levels.

TL;DR: It is reported that there is no significant difference (P = 0.42) between the incidences of S. enterica in swine slaughtered in accredited and locally registered abattoirs across Metro Manila and there are no significant differences between the antimicrobial resistance profiles of select isolates.

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).
