Background: The Neogen® Molecular Detection Assay 2-Salmonella Enteritidis/Salmonella Typhimurium (MDA2-SE/ST) method is a rapid, nucleic acid amplification-based test for specific detection of Salmonella enterica ser. Enteritidis (SE) and Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium (ST), including the ST monophasic variant Salmonella enterica 1,4 , [5] , 12: i:-, in select poultry samples. Results for SE and ST are generated separately.
Objective: The objective of the study was to validate the MDA2-SE/ST method for detection of SE and ST in chicken carcass rinse and raw ground chicken (325 g) for Performance Tested Methods SM (PTM) certification.
Methods: The study consisted of inclusivity/exclusivity testing and independent laboratory testing of chicken carcass rinse and raw ground chicken using inoculated matrixes. Data were analyzed using a paired probability of detection model to determine if differences in the number of positive results obtained with the MDA2-SE/ST and reference methods were significant.
Results: In inclusivity testing, all 50 SE strains produced positive results in the SE assay and negative results in the ST assay. All 53 ST strains (including the monophasic variant) produced positive results in the ST assay and negative results in the SE assay. All 35 exclusivity strains produced negative results in both assays. The exclusivity panel included multiple non-SE group D1 Salmonella serovars, multiple non-ST group B serovars, Salmonella spp. from other somatic groups, and other Enterobacteriaceae. In matrix testing, results for the MDA2-SE/ST and reference methods were in complete agreement for both matrixes.
Conclusions: Results of the validation study showed that the MDA2-SE/ST method is an accurate, specific method for detection of SE and ST in select poultry matrixes.
Highlights: The data were reviewed by the AOAC PTM Program and approval was granted for certification of the Molecular Detection Assay 2-Salmonella Enteritidis/Salmonella Typhimurium method as PTM 122302.

This study investigated the green synthesis of Zn-MnO nanocomposites via the fungus Penicillium rubens. Herein, the synthesized Zn-MnO nanocomposites were confirmed by UV-spectrophotometry with a top peak (370 nm). Transmission electron microscopy confirmed irregular particles with a spherical-like shape ranging from 25.

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) is a common zoonotic pathogen that not only causes gastroenteritis or death of livestock and poultry but also poses a serious threat to human health, causing severe economic losses to the poultry industry and society. Herein, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to analyze the transcriptome variation of chicken cecum at four different time points (1, 3, 7, and 14 days) following S.

Phylogenetic analyses are crucial for understanding microbial evolution and infectious disease transmission. Bacterial phylogenies are often inferred from SNP alignments, with SNPs as the fundamental signal within these data. SNP alignments can be reduced to a 'strict core' by removing those sites that do not have data present in every sample.

The pangenome of a species is the set of all genes carried by at least one member of the species. In bacteria, pangenomes can be much larger than the set of genes carried by a single organism. Many questions remain unanswered regarding the evolutionary forces shaping the patterns of presence/absence of genes in pangenomes of a given species.
