This study aimed to determine the global prevalence and molecular characterization of CTX-M-producing Typhimurium isolates. A total of 330 (15.2%, 330/21779) -positive . Typhimurium were obtained from the public databases in July 2021. Thirteen variants were found in the 330 members of the group, and (26.4%, 88/330) was the most prevalent. The majority of -positive Typhimurium were obtained from humans (59.7%, 197/330) and animals (31.5%, 104/330). The number of -positive Typhimurium increased annually ( < 0.0001). These isolates were primarily found from China, the United Kingdom, Australia, the USA, and Germany. In addition, these isolates possessed 14 distinct sequence types (ST), and three predominated: ST34 (42.7%, 141/330), ST19 (37.0%, 122/330), and ST313 (10.3%, 34/330). The majority of ST34 Typhimurium isolates were distributed in China and mainly from swine. However, the majority of ST19 were distributed in the United Kingdom and Australia. Analysis of contigs showed that the major type of -carrying plasmid was identified as IncI plasmid (52.9%, 27/51) and IncHI2 plasmid (17.6%, 9/51) in 51 -positive S. Typhimurium isolates. In addition, WGS analysis further revealed that co-existed with nine antibiotic-resistant genes with a detection rate over 50%, conferring resistance to five classes of antimicrobials. The 154 virulence genes were detected among these isolates, of which 107 virulence genes were highly common. This study revealed that China has been severely contaminated by -positive Typhimurium isolates, these isolates possessed numerous ARGs and virulence genes, and highlighted that continued vigilance for -positive Typhimurium in animals and humans is urgently needed.

Unlabelled: are Gram-negative, rod-shaped, entero-invasive foodborne bacteria and are frequently detected in chicken houses and facilities of poultry broiler complexes. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, critical entry points, and movement pattern of along different stages of a complex. A total of 1,071 environmental samples were collected from 38 production houses (8 pullet, 10 breeder, and 20 broiler), a hatchery, 6 transport trucks, and a processing plant.

Studying the molecular basis of intestinal infections caused by enteric pathogens at the tissue level is challenging, because most human intestinal infection models have limitations, and results obtained from animals may not reflect the human situation. Infections with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (STm) have different outcomes between organisms. 3D tissue modeling of primary human material provides alternatives to animal experimentation, but epithelial co-culture with immune cells remains difficult.

A novel molecular design based on a quinazolinone scaffold was developed the attachment of aryl alkanesulfonates to the quinazolinone core through a thioacetohydrazide azomethine linker, leading to a new series of quinazolinone-alkanesulfonates 5a-r. The antimicrobial properties of the newly synthesized quinazolinone derivatives 5a-r were investigated to examine their bactericidal and fungicidal activities against bacterial pathogens like , (Gram-positive), , , (Gram-negative), in addition to (unicellular fungal). The tested compounds demonstrated reasonable bactericidal activities compared to standard drugs.

infections pose significant public health challenges worldwide. The diversity of strains, particularly those isolated from environmental and clinical sources, necessitates innovative approaches to prevention and treatment. Previous research has shown that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) produced by macrophages during Typhimurium infection can induce robust immune responses when used as a vaccine, offering complete protection in systemic infection models.

The global public health risk posed by Salmonella Kentucky (S. Kentucky) is rising, particularly due to the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes in human and animal populations. This serovar, widespread in Africa, has emerged as a notable cause of non-typhoidal gastroenteritis in humans.
