CANOMAD, characterized by chronic ataxic neuropathy, ophthalmoplegia, immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraprotein, cold agglutinins, and disialosyl antibodies, encompasses a clinical, radiological, and laboratory diagnosis. CANOMAD is a rare condition, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the literature. The understanding and diagnosis of the disease have improved in the last few years, but the treatment of CANOMAD is mainly unknown, and there is not a clear consensus about it.

The use of lytic bacteriophages (phages) to reduce foodborne pathogens has emerged as a promising biocontrol intervention for spp. Here, we describe and evaluate the newly isolated phage STGO-35-1, including: (i) genomic and phenotypic characterization, (ii) an analysis of the reduction of in chicken meat, and (iii) genome plasticity testing.

Phages of the genus have the characteristic that one phage can infect a large number of different serovars and, thus, are proposed as an alternative to antimicrobials in food production.

Salmonellosis outbreaks can be caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, emphasizing the importance of maintaining public health and safer food production. Nevertheless, the drivers of MDR serovars have remained poorly understood.

Wild birds are capable of harboring a variety of serovars, which could have an important role in the epidemiology of salmonellosis in humans and production animals. We tested 519 fecal samples from raptors and aquatic birds from different regions of central (three rehabilitation centers for wildlife and the coastal area) and southern areas of Chile for .
