Summary: This study discovered a new serovar of Salmonella (S. enterica subsp. II serovar 4,5,12:a:-) and demonstrated its ability to infect humans and cause clusters of cases. Whole-genome sequencing detection and surveillance of Salmonella can accurately define Salmonella classification and clonality, improve diagnosis, facilitate outbreak detection, and aid in the source tracing of salmonellosis epidemics.

Summary: The study found that the predominant Salmonella enterica serotype Kentucky ST314 in China carries multidrug resistance, primarily mediated by plasmid-borne quinolone resistance genes. These strains can transmit across different regions and hosts, promoting the spread of ciprofloxacin resistance.

Summary: Salmonella enterica is the most common foodborne pathogen worldwide, and controlling its multiple serovars is necessary due to antibiotic resistance. In this study, a novel bacteriophage-1252 was isolated and found to have high lytic activity against multiple serovars of S. enterica. It belongs to the Myoviridae family and has stable activity within a certain temperature range. These findings suggest that phage-1252 is a promising candidate for controlling S. enterica serovars in food production.

Summary: The study revealed the presence of Salmonella in chicken meat sold in Riyadh, exhibiting resistance to multiple antibiotics and posing a potential risk of infection to consumers. The genotypic resistance pattern of Salmonella to antibiotics in both human and animal health was highlighted, urging the promotion of antibiotic-free poultry farming as an alternative option.

Summary: Using the One-Health strategy, we studied the temporal and spatial dynamics of dominant serovars of Salmonella enterica in China. We found that Salmonella Typhimurium was the most common serovar causing human infection in China. The proportion of various serovars, including Typhimurium, showed an increasing trend from 2006 to 2019.

Summary: This study presents a method to analyze outbreaks caused by Salmonella Welikade, a less common serovar, by using core genome MLST (cgMLST) analysis and SNP phylogenetic analysis. The results show that both methods are effective in clustering strains, but SNP analysis provides a better assessment of genetic distance among strains. The study also increases knowledge on the poorly described serovar and contributes to public genome databases.

Summary: Quinolone resistance in bacterial pathogens is primarily associated with mutations in specific regions of bacterial DNA enzymes. Research has been conducted on these mutations in Salmonella isolates globally, with efforts to understand the prevalence of these mutations in different serovars.

Summary: The study analyzed data from 2013 to 2021 collected by the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) farm turkey surveillance program. The results showed that Salmonella isolates from turkeys in Canada exhibited high resistance to multiple antibiotics. The study highlights the need to reassess antibiotic use strategies and other production factors.

Summary: This study characterized the distribution and diversity of antimicrobial-resistance Salmonella enterica from a poultry production chain in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The isolates showed mainly resistance to ampicillin and intermediate resistance to ciprofloxacin. The high prevalence of antibiotic-related genes and the association with intermediate resistance to ciprofloxacin indicate the widespread presence of this hazard in the studied poultry production chain.

Summary: The genomic analysis in Taiwan showed a link to infections in South and Southeast Asia, as well as global circulation of typhoidal clones. Mutations at gyrA 83 aa were found in ciprofloxacin-resistant strains. Local transmission of international clones was also observed in the country.

Summary: The study investigated the genetic diversity and antimicrobial sensitivity patterns of S. Kentucky strains isolated from non-human sources in Ireland. Most isolates belonged to ST314 and only a few were antimicrobial-resistant. The presence of multidrug-resistant ST198 in food sources in Ireland was also identified.

Summary: Studies have shown that whole genome sequencing (WGS) has the highest resolution in distinguishing Salmonella enterica serovar Schwarzengrund strains compared to traditional methods like pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), clustered regular interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR), and multilocus sequence typing (MLST).

Summary: This study compared antimicrobial resistance among commensal Escherichia coli in young calves raised on organic and conventional dairy farms in Switzerland. The results showed that antimicrobial resistance was highly prevalent in both farming systems, but certain resistance phenotypes were higher in organic calves. Additionally, ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae were only detected in samples from conventionally farmed calves.
