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.

Distribution of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes across Salmonella enterica Isolates from Animal and Nonanimal Foods.

TL;DR: The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes within nontyphoidal Salmonella genomes is determined to help inform AMR risk assessments of food commodities and refine processes for targeting interventions to limit the spread of AMR through the food supply.

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.
