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

Propidium monoazide real-time PCR amplification for viable Salmonella species and Salmonella Heidelberg in pork.
TL;DR: The findings indicated that this comparative genomics approach could be used to screen for serovar-specific fragments and that real-time PCR with PMA was a simple and reliable method for detecting viability of Salmonella species and Salmonello Heidelberg.
High-Throughput Sequencing Technologies and new Approaches in Food Microbiology
TL;DR: The introduction of culture independent methods allowed to understand and to overcome the limitation of microbial cultivation and was applied in food microbiology as tools to analyze foodstuff microbiota, to study fermentation and food spoilage processes and also to investigate the ecology of food-borne pathogens.

TL;DR: An epidemiological, environmental and microbiological investigation led to the conclusion that the etiologic agent of this outbreak was S. Heidelberg, and the most probable food vehicle of transmission was cooked samp served to learners within the NSNP.

TL;DR: Among restaurant diners, laboratory and case-control evidence indicated shrimp as the possible outbreak source; poor thermal inactivation of Salmonella on shrimp is theorized as a possible cause.

Induction of Viable but Non-culturable (VBNC) State in Salmonella Cultured in M9 Minimal Medium Containing High Glucose
TL;DR: Live/dead analysis using the 5-cyano-2,3-di(p-tolyl) tetrazolium chloride (CTC)-reduction assay revealed that SE cells cultured in M9 medium containing 0.8% glucose died with time when in the "viable but non-culturable" (VBNC) state, suggesting large amounts of glucose metabolites might have been responsible for the toxicity.

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.
