Abstract
INTRODUCTION Herein, we described cases of children under 16 years old suspected to be infected with Monkeypox virus (MKPV) and diagnosed with chickenpox in public hospitals of Marseille, south of France. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study from March 23rd, 2022 to October 20th, 2022 in our institution of results of MKPV DNA and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA detection by PCR performed on cutaneous lesions swabs collected from children <16 years old. RESULTS None of the cutaneous swabs collected from 14 children were positive for MKPV DNA. In contrast, 30/168 (17 %) cutaneous swabs collected from children were positive for VZV DNA. Of these 30 VZV-positive children, 7 had been suspected of MKPV infection because of their atypical rash, due to the location of the lesions and the chronology of their appearance. DISCUSSION As in our cohort, pediatric cases of the 2022 Monkeypox outbreak in non-endemic developed countries have been very rare. This variant of MKPV does not normally spread easily and requires very close physical contact between an infected person (skin lesions, bodily fluids or respiratory droplets) and another person to be transmitted. It will nevertheless be a question of remaining vigilant as not to ignore the possibility of close contact or sexual transmission of Monkeypox in a child, or the possibility of a new and more contagious variant. CONCLUSION It is difficult to differentiate Monkeypox infection from other infections associated with rashes, it is important to remember that viruses change as well as their forms of presentation.

Abstract
A bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay (BEIA), using Salmonella-specific monoclonal antibody M183 for capture and biotinylated monoclonal antibody M183 for detection, was developed with InteLite AB streptavidin-biotinylated firefly luciferase complex as a reporter. Salmonella cultures were preenriched in buffered peptone water with shaking for 6 h at 37 degrees C and then selectively enriched in Muller-Kauffmann tetrathionate (MKTT) broth and modified semisolid Rappaport-Vassiliadis (MSRV) medium for 16 h at 42 degrees C. After enrichment, the total test time for the BEIA was 1.5 h. The analytical sensitivity of the BEIA ranged from 6.0 x 10(2) CFU/ml to 1.2 x 10(5) CFU/ml in MKTT and from 1.4 x 10(5) to 2.3 x 10(6) CFU/ml in MSRV using six Salmonella serovars prevalent in Canada. With enrichment cultures, the BEIA detected 1 CFU of Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis in 25 ml of chicken rinses. Representative strains of 10 Salmonella serovars were detected, and cross-reactivity was not observed with 25 non-Salmonella foodborne bacteria. The BEIA performance was assessed by testing 420 poultry samples, which were analyzed in parallel with the standard MSRV culture method. The BEIA detected 117 (27.88%) Salmonella-positive samples, whereas the standard MSRV culture method detected 124 (29.5%). The BEIA had a sensitivity of 64.5% and a specificity of 87.5% compared to the standard MSRV culture method. However, similar specificities and sensitivities were obtained when the standard MSRV culture method was compared to the BEIA (sensitivity = 68.4% and specificity = 85.5%). Neither method detected 100% of the Salmonella found in the samples tested, and statistical analyses indicated no significant difference between the two methods. In summary, the BEIA offers another alternative for the detection of Salmonella, with the additional advantage of providing a 24-h test for detecting Salmonella in chicken carcass rinses. The results obtained in this research indicate that tests are still needed for the isolation and detection of Salmonella that will establish the true prevalence of Salmonella in chicken samples.

Abstract
A double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) as a rapid, economical alternative to culture isolation procedures for detection of Salmonella. Four MAbs previously shown to react with Salmonella strains representing 18 different serogroups were evaluated as capture antibodies and, after biotinylation, as detection antibodies. One MAb (M183) was selected for use in the ELISA to capture and detect Salmonella antigens. The detection limit of the ELISA was evaluated using Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium and various selective and nonselective Salmonella enrichment media. The highest detection limit (ca. 10(4) CFU/ml) was achieved using an enrichment broth containing brain heart infusion, yeast extract, sodium hydrogen selenite, and sodium cholate (BYSC) after preenrichment in buffered peptone water. The ELISA detected all Salmonella serovars tested, which included representative serovars of serogroups B, C, D, and E and gave negative results for all non-Salmonella species tested. Samples (106) from various sources, including fecal samples from humans and pigeons, chicken carcass rinses, chicken parts, feed, and the environment, were used to evaluate the performance of the ELISA. The ELISA had a specificity and sensitivity of 100 and 91%, respectively, and a kappa value of 0.93 relative to the culture methods. Such an ELISA has the potential to be used in the implementation of the pathogen reduction and hazard analysis critical control point systems as well as in clinical laboratories.
