Abstract
Salmonella is present in the poultry production chain and is a major challenge in terms of food safety and animal health. The early Salmonella detection is one of the main tools to control and prevent the transmission of this pathogen. Microbiological isolation and serotyping to identify and differentiate Salmonella serovars are laborious processes, time-consuming, and expensive. Therefore, molecular diagnostic methods can be rapid and efficient alternatives to the detection of this pathogen. Thus, the aim herein was to standardize and evaluate the use of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) in comparison with real-time PCR (qPCR) for detection of Salmonella associated with a multiplex qPCR for simultaneous identification and differentiation of S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, S. Pullorum, and S. Gallinarum. The LAMP, qPCR, and multiplex qPCR assays were comparable in specificity. The three techniques were evaluated for specificity for 16 different serovars of Salmonella and for 37 strains of the serovars of interest. The limit of detection and the efficiency of the LAMP, qPCR, and multiplex qPCR reactions were determined. The techniques were applied to 33 samples of chicken carcasses and compared to the results of conventional microbiology for validation. As results, LAMP was specific in the detection of different Salmonella serovars but presented lower limit of detection ranging from 101 to 104 CFU/reaction. In comparison, qPCR could detect less cells (100 to 102 CFU/reaction), reaching equal specificity and better repeatability in the assays. The qPCR multiplexing for identification of the different serovars also showed good specificity, with the detection threshold between entre 101 and 102 CFU/reaction. The results obtained in the analyses on poultry carcasses suggested a correspondence between the results obtained in molecular methods and in conventional microbiology. Thus, the proposed assays are promising for the diagnosis of Salmonella in poultry carcasses, already proved to be faster and more efficient than conventional diagnostics techniques, being of great interest for poultry production, animal, and public health.

Accurate identification and discrimination of Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovars Gallinarum and Pullorum by a multiplex PCR based on the new genes of torT and I137_14430. Front Vet Sci 2023; 10:1220118.

Abstract
Most cases of chicken salmonellosis are caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovars Gallinarum and Pullorum, which lead to a significant morbidity and fatality rate. Although the conventional Kaufmann-White scheme is the reliable method for the serotyping of Salmonella, it does not distinguish between closely related biotypes like S. Pullorum and S. Gallinarum. Herein, we conducted a single one-step multiplex PCR assay that can identify and distinguish between S. Pullorum and S. Gallinarum in an accurate manner. This PCR method was based on three genes, including torT for S. Pullorum identification, I137_14430 for S. Gallinarum identification, and stn as the genus-level reference gene for Salmonella. By comparing S. Pullorum to S. Gallinarum and other serovars of Salmonella, in silico study revealed that only the former has a deletion of 126 bp-region in the carboxyl terminus of torT. The I137_14430 gene does not exist in S. Gallinarum. However, it is present in all other Salmonella serotypes. The multiplex PCR approach utilizes unique sets of primers that are intended to specifically target these three different genes. The established PCR method was capable of distinguishing between the biovars Pullorum and Gallinarum from the 29 distinct Salmonella serotypes as well as the 50 distinct pathogens that are not Salmonella, showing excellent specificity and exclusivity. The minimal amount of bacterial cells required for PCR detection was 100 CFU, while the lowest level of genomic DNA required was 27.5 pg/μL for both S. Pullorum and S. Gallinarum. After being implemented on the clinical Salmonella isolates collected from a poultry farm, the PCR test was capable of distinguishing the two biovars Pullorum and Gallinarum from the other Salmonella strains. The findings of the PCR assay were in line with those of the traditional serotyping and biochemical identification methods. This new multiplex PCR could be used as a novel tool to reinforce the clinical diagnosis and differentiation of S. Pullorum and S. Gallinarum, particularly in high-throughput screening situations, providing the opportunity for early screening of infections and, as a result, more effective management of the illness among flocks.

Abstract
1. The aim of this study was to develop a multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) based molecular diagnostic kit for rapid diagnosis of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis and S. enterica serovar Typhimurium serotypes, which are frequently isolated worldwide from poultry samples.2. Detection and discrimination of S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium were performed by targeting the sdf and the STM4492 (putative cytoplasmic protein) gene, respectively. The invA (invasion protein) gene was used to detect Salmonella spp. as a target gene, since it is considered a standard. In this study, a total of 200 bacterial strains (178 Salmonella spp. strains and 22 other genera) were used to test the specificity and sensitivity of the developed kit. The limit of detection (LOD) of the assays was determined to be 100-101 cfu/25 g from chicken meat samples artificially contaminated by litter and 100-101 cfu/ml for cloacal swab samples.3. The multiplex qPCR results were 100% compatible with conventional serotyping results while the specificity and sensitivity values were 100%. These findings indicated that the newly developed multiplex qPCR technique can provide an alternative method to conventional serotyping of S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium in laboratories lacking adequate infrastructure.

Abstract
A colorimetric sensor based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is a simple and rapid method for detecting foodborne pathogens. However, the colorimetric method employed in previous studies involved short ssDNA (<100 nucleotides), including the aptamer and PCR products, resulting in the high detection limit of this technique. In this study, a colorimetric sensor was developed based on long ssDNA of asymmetric PCR (aPCR) and non-functionalized AuNPs for detecting Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). In the presence of S. Typhimurium, the long ssDNA (547 nt) amplified by aPCR-protected AuNPs from NaCl-induced aggregation, while the solution retained a red color. After optimizing parameters, the limit of detection (LOD) of the colorimetric sensor was 2.56 CFU/mL with high specificity. Recovery studies showed its feasibility for detecting S. Typhimurium (102 CFU/mL, 104 CFU/mL, and 106 CFU/mL) in spiked lettuce samples. This colorimetric sensor provides new opportunities for the highly sensitive detection of bacteria in real food samples.

Abstract
The frequent outbreaks of foodborne pathogens have stimulated the demand of biosensors capable of rapid and multiplex detection of contaminated food. In this study, surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) was used in simultaneous label-free detection of multiple foodborne pathogens, mainly Salmonella spp. and Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC), in commercial chicken carcass rinse. The antibodies were immobilized on the same SPRi sensor chip as a label-free immunoassay. Their immobilization concentrations were optimized to be ranging from 0.25 to 1.0 mg/mL, and independent of pH values. This label-free immunoassay achieved 106 colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL limit of detection for Salmonella, which was further improved to 1.0 CFU/mL with overnight bacteria enrichment. The injected samples with different bacteria, Salmonella Enteritidis, STEC, and Listeria monocytogenes, have been identified by the same biochip. Moreover, the SPRi signals revealed complex interference effects among coexisting bacteria species in heterogeneous bacteria solutions. This SPRi-based immunoassay demonstrates the great potential in high-throughput screening of multiple pathogenic bacteria coexisting in chicken carcass rinse. The reliability of antibody immobilization and cross-reactions of different antibodies on the same biochip are the major challenges of practical application of SPRi.

Abstract
The rapid detection of foodborne microbial pathogens contaminating fresh fruits and vegetables during the intervening period between harvest and consumption could revolutionize microbial quality assurance of food usually consumed raw and those with a limited shelf life. We have developed a sensitive, shotgun whole genome sequencing protocol capable of detecting as few as 1 colony forming unit (cfu) of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium spiked on 25 g of lettuce. The Ion Torrent sequencing platform was used to generate reads of globally amplified DNA from microbes recovered from the surface of lettuce followed by bioinformatic analyses of the nucleotide sequences to detect the presence of Salmonella. The test is rapid and sensitive, and appropriate for testing perishable foods, and those consumed raw, for Salmonella contamination. The test has the potential to be universally applicable to any microbial contaminant on lettuce as long as a suitable bioinformatics pipeline is available and validated. A universal test is expected to pave the way for preventive and precision food safety and the re-shaping of the entire spectrum of food safety investigations from the current disease-limiting, reactive procedure to a proactive, disease prevention process.

Abstract
Objectives: The study was designed for isolation and identification of the bacteria present in unhatched leftover eggs of duck in selected mini-hatcheries of Kishoreganj, Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: A total of 54 unhatched discarded eggs were collected as samples from different mini-hatcheries of Tarail and Itna Upazilas of Kishoreganj and aseptically carried to the laboratory in the icebox. Surface washings (n = 54) and inner contents (n = 54) were collected and enriched in Luria–Bertani broth followed by the isolation of pure colonies of different bacteria onto eosin methylene blue agar, mannitol salt agar, Salmonella–Shigella agar, and blood agar plates. Identification of the bacterial isolates was done by cultural properties, staining, and biochemical tests followed by molecular detection by Polymerase chain reaction. Results: Of 108 samples, 62 were found positive for Salmonella spp. (76%), 59 for E. coli (54%), 52 for Staphylococcus spp. (48%), and 5 for Clostridium spp. (9%). From the egg surface samples, Staphylococcus spp. were recovered in the highest (67%) followed by Salmonella spp. (59%), E. coli (56%), and Clostridium spp. (9%). From the inner contents of eggs, Salmonella spp. were recovered in the highest (56%), followed by E. coli (53%) and Staphylococcus spp. (30%). Conclusion: The isolated bacteria might be associated with the decreased hatchability and embryo mortality in the mini-hatcheries of duck.

Abstract
Effective monitoring of Salmonella contamination in seafood processing to conform the requirements of HACCP is a great challenge today. Such challenges can be effectively addressed, if the conventional detection methods are replaced with DNA-based molecular methods. Accordingly, it was aimed to develop a robust PCR protocol for specific detection of Salmonella spp. Out of the different primers screened, one pair of primers developed in this study targeting invA gene demonstrated 100% inclusivity for a wide range of Salmonella serotypes and 100% exclusivity for wide range of non-target species. The in silico analysis of the nucleotide sequence obtained from the PCR product suggests its potential as a hybridization probe for genus specific detection of Salmonella spp. contamination. The PCR protocol was sensitive enough to detect 15 cells per reaction using crude DNA prepared within a short time directly from artificially contaminated shrimp tissue. The study demonstrated that the result of PCR reaction can come out on the same day of sample arrival. Incorporation of this pair of primers in a multiplex PCR designed for simultaneous detection of four common seafood-borne human pathogens yielded 147 bp, 302 bp, 403 bp, and 450 bp distinct DNA bands specifically targeting E. coli, toxigenic Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella spp., and V. parahaemolyticus, respectively in a single PCR tube. The PCR methods developed in this study has the potential to be used in the seafood processing plants for effective monitoring of CCPs required for implementation of HACCP-based quality assurance system.

Abstract
1. Salmonella is one of the most important pathogens in public health and it is usually associated with food-borne diseases. Salmonella serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium are widespread in the world with outbreaks frequently associated with consumption of poultry products; furthermore, there is an increasing public health concern with the wide dissemination of the serovar Heidelberg in poultry flocks. 2. The aim of the experiment was to develop and to validate rapid methods to detect Salmonella serovars Enteritidis, Typhimurium, and Heidelberg by real-time PCRs and test isolates from pre-enriched poultry samples. 3. Three real-time PCRs were developed and used in combination to detect the serovars Enteritidis, Typhimurium and Heidelberg. These assays were validated by the analysis of 126 Salmonella isolates, eight other enteric bacterial species and 34 naturally contaminated poultry samples after pre-enrichment with buffered peptone water (BPW). 4. Real-time PCRs detected the isolates of the most important poultry serovars (Enteritidis, Typhimurium and Heidelberg) with 100% inclusivity and exclusivity in each assay. The PCR identified monophasic variants of the serovars Typhimurium and Heidelberg. All PCRs were validated in detecting these specific serovars directly from pre-enriched poultry samples. The whole analytical procedure was performed in less than 24 h in a veterinary diagnostic laboratory.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica is a highly diverse subspecies with more than 1500 serovars and the ability to distinguish serovars within this group is vital for surveillance. With the development of whole-genome sequencing technology, serovar prediction by traditional serotyping is being replaced by molecular serotyping. Existing in silico serovar prediction approaches utilize surface antigen encoding genes, core genome MLST and serovar-specific gene markers or DNA fragments for serotyping. However, these serovar-specific gene markers or DNA fragments only distinguished a small number of serovars. In this study, we compared 2258 Salmonella accessory genomes to identify 414 candidate serovar-specific or lineage-specific gene markers for 106 serovars which includes 24 polyphyletic serovars and the paraphyletic serovar Enteritidis. A combination of several lineage-specific gene markers can be used for the clear identification of the polyphyletic serovars and the paraphyletic serovar. We designed and evaluated an in silico serovar prediction approach by screening 1089 genomes representing 106 serovars against a set of 131 serovar-specific gene markers. The presence or absence of one or more serovar-specific gene markers was used to predict the serovar of an isolate from genomic data. We show that serovar-specific gene markers have comparable accuracy to other in silico serotyping methods with 84.8% of isolates assigned to the correct serovar with no false positives (FP) and false negatives (FN) and 10.5% of isolates assigned to a small subset of serovars containing the correct serovar with varied FP. Combined, 95.3% of genomes were correctly assigned to a serovar. This approach would be useful as diagnosis moves to culture-independent and metagenomic methods as well as providing a third alternative to confirm other genome-based analyses. The identification of a set of gene markers may also be useful in the development of more cost-effective molecular assays designed to detect specific gene markers of the all major serovars in a region. These assays would be useful in serotyping isolates where cultures are no longer obtained and traditional serotyping is therefore impossible.

A real-time PCR regimen for testing environmental samples for Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovars of concern to the poultry industry, with special focus on Salmonella Enteritidis.

Abstract
A real-time PCR (qPCR) regimen, using up to six genetic targets, was developed to rapidly detect Salmonella and in particular identify Salmonella Enteritidis. The test regimen was first evaluated using a reference culture collection of Salmonella to confirm the appropriateness of the selected targets, which included up to three genetic markers for discrimination of Salmonella Enteritidis from other Salmonella serovars commonly found in poultry facilities. The qPCR procedure was then compared with culture methods used to detect Salmonella using a collection of enrichment broths previously generated from 239 environmental samples collected from a large number of hatchery facilities across Canada over several years. The qPCR regimen facilitated specific detection of Salmonella Enteritidis, and on a sample basis, it showed excellent agreement with the culture methods. Moreover, in many cases, qPCR detected Salmonella earlier in the culture process than did the culture method. Application of this method will significantly shorten test times and allow more timely identification of infected poultry premises, thereby improving present programmes aimed at controlling Salmonella Enteritidis at the environmental source.

Abstract
Little is known about Salmonella serovars circulating in backyard poultry and swine populations worldwide. Backyard production systems (BPS) that raise swine and/or poultry are distributed across Chile, but are more heavily concentrated in central Chile, where industrialized systems are in close contact with BPS. This study aims to detect and identify circulating Salmonella serovars in poultry and swine raised in BPS. Bacteriological Salmonella isolation was carried out for 1744 samples collected from 329 BPS in central Chile. Faecal samples were taken from swine, poultry, geese, ducks, turkeys and peacocks, as well as environmental faecal samples. Confirmation of Salmonella spp. was performed using invA-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Identification of serovars was carried out using a molecular serotyping approach, where serogroups were confirmed by a multiplex PCR of Salmonella serogroup genes for five Salmonella O antigens (i.e., D, B, C1, C2-C3, and E1), along with two PCR amplifications, followed by sequencing of fliC and fljB genes. A total of 25 samples (1·4% of total samples) from 15 BPS (4·6 % of total sampled BPS) were found positive for Salmonella. Positive samples were found in poultry (chickens and ducks), swine and environmental sources. Molecular prediction of serovars on Salmonella isolated showed 52·0% of S. Typhimurium, 16·0% of S. Infantis, 16·0% S. Enteritidis, 8·0% S. Hadar, 4·0% S. Tennessee and 4·0% S. Kentucky. Poor biosecurity measures were found on sampled BPS, where a high percentage of mixed confinement systems (72·8%); and almost half of the sampled BPS with improper management of infected mortalities (e.g. selling the carcasses of infected animals for consumption). Number of birds other than chickens (P = 0·014; OR = 1·04; IC (95%) = 1·01-1·07), mixed productive objective (P = 0·030; OR = 5·35; IC (95%) = 1·24-27·59) and mixed animal replacement origin (P = 0017; OR = 5·19; IC (95%) = 1·35-20·47) were detected as risk factors for BPS positivity to Salmonella spp. This is the first evidence of serovars of Salmonella spp. circulating in BPS from central Chile. Detected serovars have been linked to human and animal clinical outbreaks worldwide and in Chile, highlighting the importance of BPS on the control and dissemination of Salmonella serovars potentially hazardous to public health.
