Identification of Serogroups and Distinction Between Typhoidal and Non-Typhoidal Based on ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy.

Salmonellosis is the second-most commonly reported foodborne gastrointestinal infection in the European Union and a major contributor to foodborne outbreaks globally. serotyping differentiates typhoidal strains requiring antibiotic therapy (e.g.

Assessment of the Microbiological Safety and Hygiene of Raw and Thermally Treated Milk Cheeses Marketed in Central Italy between 2013 and 2020.

A profile of the microbial safety and hygiene of cheese in central Italy was defined based on an analysis of 1373 cheeses sampled under the Italian National Control Plan for Food Safety spanning the years 2013 to 2020 and tested according to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2073/2005 (as amended). A total of 97.

The monophasic variant of . Typhimurium 4,[5],12:i:- (MVST) is the third most commonly reported serovar involved in human infections (8.8%) in the EU and ranks after .

The Emerging Nosocomial Pathogen Klebsiella michiganensis Genetic Analysis of a KPC-3 Producing Strain Isolated from Venus Clam.

The recovery and characterization of a multidrug-resistant, KPC-3-producing Klebsiella michiganensis that was obtained from Venus clam samples is reported in this study. A whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis using Illumina and Nanopore technologies of the 23999A2 isolate revealed that the strain belonged to the new sequence type 382 (ST382) and carried seven plasmid replicon sequences, including four IncF type plasmids (FII, FIIY, FIIk, and FIB), one IncHI1 plasmid, and two Col plasmids. The FIB and FII plasmids showed high homology to each other and to multireplicon pKpQIL-like plasmids that are found in epidemic KPC-K.

Whole-Genome Sequencing Characterization of Virulence Profiles of Food and Human Isolates and In Vitro Adhesion/Invasion Assessment.

() is the causative agent of human listeriosis. strains have different virulence potential. For this reason, we preliminarily characterised via Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) some strains for their key genomic features and virulence-associated determinants, assigning the clonal complex (CC).
