In this study we report the characterization of plasmid-mediated CMY-2-producing Salmonella Heidelberg recovered from food, poultry, and poultry environment in Brazil, between 2014 and 2016. The bla resistance gene was allocated in large (90-148 kb) IncI1 type transferable plasmids. Salmonella Heidelberg isolates were genetically related, indicating the dissemination of closely related isolates among food, poultry, and its environment. This is the first report of IncI1 replicon-types of plasmids encoding the bla resistance gene in Salmonella Heidelberg isolates in Brazil, the world's biggest exporter of chickens.

Implementation of a vaccination program is one of the most effective means to control infectious diseases during food animal production. Salmonella, a Gram-negative bacterium, is a leading bacterial cause of human foodborne illnesses worldwide. The major source of this microorganism for human infection is from consumption of unsanitary poultry products.

Various serotypes have caused numerous foodborne outbreaks associated with food vehicles in different categories. This study provides evidence on the occurrence and inter-relations between serotypes and the number of deaths mediated by the number of illnesses and hospitalizations. Confirmed foodborne outbreaks of serotypes (n = 2868) that occurred between 1998 and 2021 were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Outbreak Reporting System.

Article Synopsis
- In May 2017, whole-genome sequencing became the main method for identifying bacterial strains in Canada, leading to the discovery of 16 multi-jurisdictional outbreaks linked to frozen raw breaded chicken products between 2017 and 2019.
- Of the 487 reported cases, there were 79 hospitalizations and 2 deaths, mainly involving individuals with a median age of 24 years, with the majority of outbreaks linked to a specific bacterial strain.
- Following ineffective prior measures, new regulations were introduced in 2019 to enforce manufacturing practices aimed at reducing bacteria levels, and since their implementation, no further outbreaks related to these products have occurred in Canada.

Conjugation is a complex phenomenon involving multiple plasmid, bacterial, and environmental factors. Here we describe an IncI1 plasmid encoding multidrug antibiotic resistance to aminoglycosides, sulfonamides, and third generation cephalosporins. This plasmid is widespread geographically and among One Health animal, human, and environmental sectors.

The traditional gold standard for detection of Salmonella in meat products is bacterial culture with enrichment. While this method is highly sensitive, it is slow and provides an incomplete assessment of isolate taxonomy in positive samples. This study presents a novel PCR-based detection assay which amplifies the 16s-ITS-23s region which is an approximately 2,500 base pair region of the larger ribosomal rrn operon.
