A new CE method for fast and efficient analysis of bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) is described. It is based on the strong interaction between proteins and endotoxins. The UV absorption of the protein component in the complex is used for the detection. The electrophoretic mobility of the complex hemoglobin/endotoxin can be employed for qualitative analysis of the endotoxin. For instance, the structural differences between "smooth" and "rough" lipopolysaccharides from Salmonella minnesota (wild-type), Salmonella minnesota R595 and Shigella sonnei R562H are reflected in the electrophoretic mobilities of their hemoglobin complex.

In Colombia, research on Salmonella concerning animal health, veterinary diagnostics, and epidemiology within the primary production chain is limited. This study aimed to analyze the published data about Salmonella in the Colombian primary pig production chain from 2009 to mid-2024. This involved an exploratory literature review using systematic search strategies, including articles, graduate studies, conference presentations, and technical reports from the selected period.

Five lytic bacteriophages specific for Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli were isolated from wastewater in Minnesota. These phages, designated vB_Sal_EH1, vB_Sal_EH2, vB_Sal_EH3, vB_Sal_EH4, and vB_Sal_EH7, were characterized, and their genomes were sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis showed that they grouped within the genus Epseptimavirus, with genome sizes ranging from 108,554 to 115,218 bp.

Article Synopsis
- Foodborne pathogens result in about 47.8 million illnesses annually in the U.S., largely due to antimicrobial misuse in poultry processing, which contributes to increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) challenges.
- A study analyzed data from the NCBI Pathogen Isolates Browser to examine the relationships between antimicrobial-resistant pathogens and their corresponding AMR genes in chicken and turkey from 2015 to 2023.
- Key findings revealed that certain pathogens displayed regional prevalence, with widespread resistance to tetracycline and streptomycin, and a decline in AMR cases post-2019, likely linked to enhanced biosecurity and COVID-19 impacts, guiding future interventions to combat AMR threats.

Epidemiologically, one of the most important concerns associated with introducing spp. into the environment and food chain is the presence of asymptomatic carriers. The oncogenic and oncolytic activity of and their lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) is important and research on this topic is needed.

Salmonella is a zoonotic pathogen transmitted through food and one of the four leading global causes of diarrheal disease in humans. Brazil is the world's largest exporter of poultry meat, and as such, Brazilian farms routinely detect and prevent Salmonella. The last official monitoring and control in poultry slaughter establishments in Brazil in 2023 detected Salmonella spp.
