Investigating locally relevant risk factors for infection in Australia: protocol for a case-control study and genomic analysis.

Introduction: The CampySource project aims to identify risk factors for human infection in Australia. We will investigate locally relevant risk factors and those significant in international studies in a case-control study. Case isolates and contemporaneous isolates from food and animal sources will be sequenced to conduct source attribution modelling, and findings will be combined with the case-control study in a source-assigned analysis.

Retrospective use of whole genome sequencing to better understand an outbreak of serovar Mbandaka in New South Wales, Australia.

Introduction: serovar Mbandaka is an infrequent cause of salmonellosis in New South Wales (NSW) with an average of 17 cases reported annually. This study examined the added value of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for investigating a non-point source outbreak of ser. Mbandaka with limited geographical spread.
