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

Endocarditis following Consumption of Cereal Associated with Salmonella enterica Subtype Mbandaka Outbreak.
TL;DR: A 69-year-old immunocompromised man developed mitral valve endocarditis due to Salmonella enterica serotype Mbandaka, contracted from the cereal outbreak, and received a six-week course of intravenous antibiotics and remains on oral suppressive antibiotics.

TL;DR: The presence of these microorganisms, especially Salmonella, in the nopal juices is unacceptable due to its health significance and potential interventions to minimize pathogen contamination are proposed.

TL;DR: Three floor pen experiments evaluated efficacy of a modified-live Salmonella Typhimurium vaccine againstSalmonella Infantis and found ceca prevalence and enumeration as well as feathers on bird rinse enumeration were not different between vaccinated and unvaccinated broilers.

TL;DR: The findings underscore the potential role of S. Heidelberg as a key pathogen disseminated from farm to fork in Brazil and reinforce the importance of CRISPR-based genotyping for salmonellae and emphasized the need for continuous mitigation programs to monitor the dissemination of this high-priority pathogen.

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).

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.
