Longitudinal study of avian pathogenic (APEC) serogroups associated with disease in Georgia poultry using molecular serology and virulence gene analysis.

Several emerging APEC serogroups were observed in Georgia poultry populations.An association between APEC serogroups and bird type was observed.The prevalence of different APEC serogroups was influenced by season.

Characterization of peer support services for substance use disorders in 11 US emergency departments in 2020: findings from a NIDA clinical trials network site selection process.

Introduction: Emergency departments (ED) are incorporating Peer Support Specialists (PSSs) to help with patient care for substance use disorders (SUDs). Despite rapid growth in this area, little is published regarding workflow, expectations of the peer role, and core components of the PSS intervention. This study describes these elements in a national sample of ED-based peer support intervention programs.

Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Assay for Direct Detection and Serotyping of Salmonella from Enrichment.

In this study, an automated, targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) assay to detect and serotype Salmonella from sample enrichments was evaluated. The assay generates millions of reads to detect multiple Salmonella-specific genes and serotype-specific alleles, detecting all Salmonella spp. tested to date, and serotyping 62 common Salmonella serotypes.

Regional Differences in United States Broiler Production from 2016 to 2020 and the Contribution of Multiserovar Populations to Surveillance.

Poultry remains a considerable source of foodborne salmonellosis despite significant reduction of Salmonella incidence during processing. There are multiple entry points for Salmonella during production that can lead to contamination during slaughter, and it is important to distinguish the serovars present between the different stages to enact appropriate controls. National Salmonella data from the U.
