Salmonella enterica is commonly acquired from contaminated food and is an important cause of illness worldwide. Interventions are needed to control Salmonella; subtyping Salmonella by serotyping is useful for targeting such interventions. We, therefore, analyzed the global distribution of the 15 most frequently identified serovars of Salmonella isolated from humans from 2001 to 2007 in laborato...

The objectives of the studies were to determine if radiation and chlorine acted in a simple additive process or if a nonadditive increase in inactivation occurred when chlorination followed γ-irradiation both in vitro and in situ. Separate studies evaluated the effects of γ-irradiation (0.2 kGy at 20 ◦C), chlorination (0.5 ppm for 10 min), or irradiation followed by chlorination of Salmonella, ...

The traditional cultural method (PCR and Real-Time PCR) for Salmonella spp. detection identification is laborious time-consuming. A qualitative LAMP detecting was validated in compliance with ISO 16140:2016. results show a relative accuracy, sensitivity, specificity of 100% comparison the reference 6579-1:2017; LOD50 set as 0.4 CFU/g. Additionally, field study carried out comparing kit, commerc...

Food-borne salmonellosis is a major manifestation of gastrointestinal disease in humans across the globe. Accurate and rapid identification methods could positively impact the identification of isolates, enhance outbreak investigation, and aid infection control. The SNaPshot multiplex system is a primer extension-based method that enables multiplexing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). ...

Although poultry is recognized as the major source of food-poisoning caused by Salmonella, pork also contributes to human infections. This study was therefore undertaken in order to develop a reliable serological method for the evaluation of the Salmonella status of piglets. A complete ELISA was performed using lipopolysaccharides of Salmonella Typhimurium, Anatum, Hadar and Infantis because th...

Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes are foodborne pathogens of global importance. We assessed their risks and associated factors in a highly dynamic population of animals. Animal and environmental samples were collected from dairy cattle, sheep, camel and chickens at either the farms or the abattoirs. The pathogens were detected using a combination of bacterial enrichment culture and rea...

Contamination of food crops by the human pathogen Salmonella is a food safety threat worldwide. Though using treated wastewater for irrigation is a sustainable practice, it may introduce trace levels of Salmonella that may contaminate food crops. Salmonella could develop resistance to antibiotics present in wastewater. The overall goal of the project is to increase the understanding of the publ...

Salmonellosis is an economic burden to the livestock industry in Reunion Island. In this study, we wanted to improve our understanding of Salmonella epidemiology by studying the wild fauna of Reunion Island. We assessed Salmonella diversity in small non-flying mammals, birds and cockroaches in order to evaluate their potential role in the epidemiology of Salmonella. A total of 268 samples were ...
