[PMID: 38237416 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
The monophasic variant of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium with the antigenic formula 1,4,[5],12:i:- is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria causing global food-borne outbreaks. However, the research on molecular characteristics and evolution of monophasic S. typhimurium in China is still lacking. In the current study, 59 monophasic S. typhimurium strains were isolated from food animals and food products in South China between 2011 and 2018. A total of 87.5 % of monophasic S. typhimurium isolates were grouped into one independent clade with other monophasic S. typhimurium strains in China distinct from other countries by phylogenomic analysis. These isolates possess variable genotypes, including multiple ARGs on plasmid IncHI2, diverse evolutions at the fljAB locus, and virulence factors. Our results suggest that the monophasic S. typhimurium isolates currently circulating in China might be an independent epidemic subtype.

Abstract
AIMS To identify biocontrol agents to prevent the growth of Salmonella serotype Enterica on cantaloupe melons during the pre- and postharvest periods. METHODS AND RESULTS We created a produce-associated bacterial library containing 8736 isolates and screened it using an in-vitro fluorescence inhibition assay to identify bacteria that inhibit the growth of S. Enterica. One isolate, Pantoea agglomerans ASB05, was able to grow, persist, and inhibit the growth of S. Enterica on intact cantaloupe melons under simulated pre- and postharvest conditions. We also demonstrated that the growth inhibition of S. Enterica by P. agglomerans ASB05 was due to the production of a phenazine type antibiotic. CONCLUSIONS Pantoea agglomerans ASB05 is an effective biocontrol agent for the prevention of S. Enterica growth on intact cantaloupe melons in both the pre- and postharvest environments.

Abstract
The genetic diversity of 169 Salmonella isolates from pistachios collected from California storage silos during the 2010, 2011, and 2012 harvests (silo survey isolates) was determined by analyzing the whole genome sequence data using the CFSAN SNP pipeline developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. Salmonella isolates clustered by serovars Agona, Enteritidis, Montevideo, Sandiego, Senftenberg, Liverpool, Tennessee, and Worthington in the phylogenetic tree. Within each serovar, isolates grouped into one or two clusters (≤14 SNPs). Two distinct clusters (>14 SNPs; A and B) were identified for Salmonella Enteritidis, Montevideo, and Liverpool for a total of 11 unique strains. Sequences of representative silo survey isolates clustered with sequences of Salmonella strains isolated from U.S. pistachio-associated samples collected between 2008 and 2018 available on the National Center for Biotechnology Information database, and, in all but two cases, not with sequences of Salmonella strains recovered from raw California almonds from 2001 through 2013. The genomic evidence suggests that strains of Salmonella Agona, Liverpool Cluster A, Montevideo Clusters A and B, Senftenberg, and Worthington have persisted in the California pistachio environment for ≥3 years and some of these strains have been reported exclusively in association with pistachios.

Gorski L, Noriega AA. Comparison of Phenotype Nutritional Profiles and Phosphate Metabolism Genes in Four Serovars of Salmonella enterica from Water Sources. Microorganisms 2023; 11:2109.

Abstract
The surveillance of foods for Salmonella is hindered by bias in common enrichment media where serovars implicated in human illness are outgrown by less virulent serovars. We examined four Salmonella serovars, two common in human illness (Enteritidis and Typhimurium) and two that often dominate enrichments (Give and Kentucky), for factors that might influence culture bias. The four serovars had similar growth kinetics in Tryptic Soy Broth and Buffered Peptone Water. Phenotype microarray analysis with 950 chemical substrates to assess nutrient utilization and stress resistance revealed phenotype differences between serovars. Strains of S. Enteritidis had better utilization of plant-derived sugars such as xylose, mannitol, rhamnose, and fructose, while S. Typhimurium strains were able to metabolize tagatose. Strains of S. Kentucky used more compounds as phosphorus sources and grew better with inorganic phosphate as the sole phosphorus source. The sequences of nine genes involved in phosphate metabolism were compared, and there were differences between serovars in the catalytic ATP-binding domain of the histidine kinase phoR. Analysis of the predicted PhoR amino acid sequences from additional Salmonella genomes indicated a conservation of sequences each within the Typhimurium, Give, and Enteritidis serovars. However, three different PhoR versions were observed in S. Kentucky.

Prevalence and Genomic Diversity of Salmonella enterica Recovered from River Water in a Major Agricultural Region in Northwestern Mexico. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10061214.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of human gastrointestinal disease worldwide. Given that Salmonella is persistent in aquatic environments, this study examined the prevalence, levels and genotypic diversity of Salmonella isolates recovered from major rivers in an important agricultural region in northwestern Mexico. During a 13-month period, a total of 143 river water samples were collected and subjected to size-exclusion ultrafiltration, followed by enrichment, and selective media for Salmonella isolation and quantitation. The recovered Salmonella isolates were examined by next-generation sequencing for genome characterization. Salmonella prevalence in river water was lower in the winter months (0.65 MPN/100 mL) and significantly higher in the summer months (13.98 MPN/100 mL), and a Poisson regression model indicated a negative effect of pH and salinity and a positive effect of river water temperature (p = 0.00) on Salmonella levels. Molecular subtyping revealed Oranienburg, Anatum and Saintpaul were the most predominant Salmonella serovars. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogeny revealed that the detected 27 distinct serovars from river water clustered in two major clades. Multiple nonsynonymous SNPs were detected in stiA, sivH, and ratA, genes required for Salmonella fitness and survival, and these findings identified relevant markers to potentially develop improved methods for characterizing this pathogen.
