Microarray for molecular typing of Salmonella enterica serovars

New Options for Rapid Typing of Salmonella enterica Serovars for Outbreak Investigation

A number of different serovars of Salmonella enterica are often implicated in human nontyphoidal outbreaks. Globally, serovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis are often the causative agent of such outbreaks, but other serovars can also be significant (Table 1). Some serovars such as Infantis and Virchow are routinely linked to outbreaks of gastroenteritis. The consumption of raw food products or po...

Genomic comparison of Salmonella enterica serovars and Salmonella bongori by use of an S. enterica serovar typhimurium DNA microarray.

The genus Salmonella consists of over 2,200 serovars that differ in their host range and ability to cause disease despite their close genetic relatedness. The genetic factors that influence each serovar's level of host adaptation, how they evolved or were acquired, their influence on the evolution of each serovar, and the phylogenic relationships between the serovars are of great interest as th...

Genome-Wide Methylation Patterns in Salmonella enterica Subsp. enterica Serovars

The methylation of DNA bases plays an important role in numerous biological processes including development, gene expression, and DNA replication. Salmonella is an important foodborne pathogen, and methylation in Salmonella is implicated in virulence. Using single molecule real-time (SMRT) DNA-sequencing, we sequenced and assembled the complete genomes of eleven Salmonella enterica isolates fro...
