Assessing phenotypic virulence of Salmonella enterica across serovars and sources

Sara Petrin et al.

Summary: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a standard typing technique used for characterizing foodborne pathogens. This study aimed to determine if different genes can predict the probability of infection [P(inf)]. Results showed variability in P(inf) values among and within serovars, with no clear pattern observed. Additionally, significant associations between P(inf) and biofilm formation were found.

Antibiotic resistance genes load in an antibiotic free organic broiler farm

Barbara Salerno et al.

Summary: This study analyzed a broiler farm that has never used antibiotics and found that not using antibiotics does not fully reduce the load of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in meat processing environments. In addition, other sources of ARGs, including the production phase and breeding stage, should be considered.

Effect of pH and Salinity on the Ability of Salmonella Serotypes to Form Biofilm

Sara Petrin et al.

Summary: Salmonella is a major cause of food-borne infections in Europe, with most human infections caused by a few specific serotypes. The ability of different Salmonella serotypes to form biofilm is influenced by pH, while salinity has a limited effect. The serotypes responsible for the highest number of human infections show limited ability to produce biofilm under the tested conditions.

Genomic Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance and Resistance Plasmids in Salmonella Serovars from Poultry in Nigeria

Abdurrahman Hassan Jibril et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health concern, and this study focused on identifying antimicrobial resistance and resistance genes in Salmonella isolates from poultry in Nigeria. Phenotypic resistance to commonly used antibiotics was observed, with corresponding antibiotic resistance genes detected in genomes, often carried on specific plasmids. Some Salmonella strains carried multidrug resistance genes, indicating potential for resistance.

Identification and characterization of a spreadable IncI1 plasmid harbouring a blaCTX-M-15 gene in an Italian human isolate of Salmonella serovar Napoli

Sara Petrin et al.

Summary: The study characterized cephalosporin resistance in a human S. Napoli isolate in Italy, identifying the blaCTX-M-15 gene encoded on a plasmid. The plasmid was successfully transferred to an E. coli strain, maintaining stability for up to 10 passages, highlighting the concerning spread of ESBL-producing S. Napoli isolates in Italy.

Mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes from 1 to 10: a comprehensive review

Nadheema Hammood Hussein et al.

Summary: Colistin resistance is becoming a growing global concern as a last-resort treatment option. The discovery of plasmid-mediated mcr genes has raised alarm due to their potential for global dissemination. Various mcr variants, from mcr-1 to mcr-10, have been identified in different sources, highlighting the need for better stewardship and proper antimicrobial usage to combat resistance.

Summary: Data on antimicrobial resistance in humans, animals, and food are collected annually by EU Member States, jointly analysed by EFSA and ECDC, and reported in a yearly EU Summary Report. The monitoring in 2018 focused on poultry and their derived products, while the monitoring in 2019 specifically targeted pigs, calves, and their derived products.

Genetic basis of molecular mechanisms in 8-lactam resistant gram-negative bacteria

Hafiz Iftikhar Hussain et al.

Summary: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially β-lactamase producing Gram-negative species, pose a major global threat to human and animal health. Resistance to antibiotics due to β-lactamases develops through various mechanisms and involves a large number of resistant genes that can be transferred between bacteria.

Prevalence, risk factors and genetic traits of Salmonella Infantis in Dutch broiler flocks

Lapo Mughini-Gras et al.

Summary: In Dutch broiler flocks, a heterogeneous population of (pESI-carrying) S. Infantis has been established with evidence of possible vertical transmission. These bacteria exhibit resistance to multiple antibiotics, with certain feed, antibiotic use, and cleaning practices posing risk factors. Further monitoring and control measures are recommended to address this issue.

An omics-based framework for assessing the health risk of antimicrobial resistance genes

An-Ni Zhang et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance genes are common among bacteria, but not all pose high risks to human health. Researchers have developed an omics-based framework to rank these genes by risk, taking into account their enrichment in human associated environments, gene mobility, and host pathogenicity.

The Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Microevolution Events That Favored the Success of the Highly Clonal Multidrug-Resistant Monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium Circulating in Europe

Sabrina Cadel-Six et al.

Summary: The study highlights the evolution of the epidemic European monophasic variant of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. 1,4,[5],12:i:-) ST34, which occurred in two steps in the 1980s and 1990s, involving the acquisition of multiple heavy metal resistances to adapt to the environment and enhance antimicrobial resistance. This evolution was facilitated by the integration of different genetic elements and phages, contributing to the spread and success of this serovar.

The challenging task to select Salmonella target serovars in poultry: the Italian point of view

Marta Leati et al.

Summary: The study reveals that controlling S. Virchow and S. Hadar is no longer a priority in Italy, while S. Napoli and S. Derby, not included in the EU target serovars, are among the most frequent serovars isolated from humans in Italy. S. Napoli, frequently isolated from breeding poultry flocks and causing severe human illness, is identified as a potential target Salmonella serovar in Italy.
