Polyprenyl phosphates of different structure were prepared and their ability to serve as sugar acceptors in the biosynthesis of O-specific polysaccharides of Salmonella anatum was investigated. It was demonstrated that C30-C80-polyprenyl phosphates with unsaturated alpha-isoprene unit were as active as natural acceptor (undecaprenyl phosphate) in this enzymic system. C15- and C100-polyprenyl phosphates of this series were less effective in O-antigen repeating unit formation. Citronellyl and dolichyl phosphates (derivatives of C10- and C105-polyprenols, respectively, with saturated alpha-isoprene unit) were poor substrates. For polymerization of repeating units, the polyprenol chain-length is of utmost importance: its shortening results in a marked drop in the efficiency of respective compounds as substrates.

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.

non-typhoidal is a major contributor to diarrheal diseases, with over 2600 serovars identified across diverse environments. In Mexico, serovars Newport and Anatum have shown a marked increase, especially in foodborne disease, posing a public health problem. We conducted a cross-sectional study from 2021 to 2023 using active epidemiological surveillance to assess contamination in ground beef and pork at butcher shops nationwide.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence of nontyphoidal Salmonella in animal products (beef, chicken, and dairy) from Bejaia, Algeria, finding a 3.5% contamination rate among 1450 samples, with traditional sausages showing the highest occurrence at 14.1%.
- Fifteen serotypes were identified, with Kentucky, Anatum, and Bredeney being the most common, while antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed notable resistance to antibiotics such as tetracycline and ampicillin.
- Whole-genome sequencing revealed phylogenetic connections between different isolates, indicating early-stage contamination in the food supply chain, along with the presence of antibiotic resistance genes linked to

Investigating the quality of bee products obtained across different geographical regions and analyzing their antimicrobial activity is of significant interest to various scientific disciplines. This study focuses on comparing the antimicrobial activity of honey and propolis samples from different areas of Alba County, Romania. The quality parameters of five samples of two types of bee products (honey and propolis) were assessed.

This longitudinal study characterized Salmonella circulating in lymph nodes (LN, n = 800) and beef trimmings (n = 745) from slaughter cattle from a Mexican feedlot. During two years, LN and beef trimming samples were collected 72-96 h post-slaughter, and we obtained 77 isolates of the serovars Anatum (n = 23), Reading (n = 22), Typhimurium (n = 10), London (n = 9), Kentucky (n = 6), Fresno (n = 4), Give, Muenster, and monophasic 1,4,[5],12:i- (n = 1 each). These isolates were subjected to whole genome sequencing, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogenetic analysis, reconstruction of their ancestral isolation sources through evolutionary analysis, and virulence profiling.
