Screening of 7,680 Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis mutants for attenuation in a chicken macrophage infection model yielded a series of mutants including several with defects in previously unrecognized Salmonella virulence genes. One of the newly identified genes was the pbpA2 gene, belonging to the penicillin binding protein gene family.

Introduction: Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen widely distributed in the environment. Surface water, soil, and sediments may confer a protective effect on Salmonella against non-host conditions.
Methodology: This study focused on determining the prevalence of Salmonella spp.

The discovery at the end of the 20th century of genes that induce cell death revolutionised the biocontaintment of genetically manipulated bacteria for environmental or agricultural applications. These bacterial 'killer' genes were then assayed for their potential to target and control malignant cells in human cancers. The identification of the bacteriomes in different human organs and tissues, coupled with the observation that bacteria tend to accumulate near tumours, has opened new avenues for anti-cancer strategies.

is a foodborne pathogen commonly found in agricultural facilities; its prevalence, as well as increasing levels of disinfectant- and antibiotic-resistance, has significant costs for agriculture as well as human health. In an effort to identify potential new inhibitors of on abiotic surfaces, we developed a biomolecule screen of nutrient-type compounds because nutrients would have lower toxicity in animal facilities and bacterial nutrient utilization pathways might prove less susceptible to the development of bacterial resistance. After screening 285 nutrient-type compounds, we identified ten that significantly inhibited the ability of to colonize a plastic surface.

Clinicians are inclined to treat these infections with antibiotics, but the use of antibiotics may paradoxically worsen gastrointestinal symptoms and prolong bacterial stool shedding.

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is a serious pathogen in the salmonid aquaculture industry and leads to economic losses in the world. This study aimed to develop a new oral DNA vaccine designed to protect rainbow trout against infection by IHNV. Fish were administered via the oral route by the attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium as a carrier of pcDNA3.
