Two Enteritidis PT4 isolates which differed in inherent tolerance to heat, acid, H2O2 and the ability to survive on surfaces were used to infect mice, day-old chicks or laying hens. The acid-, heat-, H2O2- and surface-tolerant isolate was more virulent in mice and more invasive in laying hens, particularly in reproductive tissue. However, no significant differences were observed in behaviour in chicks. Both PT4 isolates were able to infect chicks housed in the same room as infected birds, although the heat-tolerant isolate survived significantly better than the heat-sensitive one in aerosols.

Article Synopsis
- Enteritidis PT4 is a versatile bacteria that infects various hosts and is a leading cause of gastroenteritis, especially linked to consuming poultry products like chicken meat and eggs.
- The genome of Enteritidis PT4 strain 578 contains 165 virulence factor genes that aid in its ability to invade cells and survive within the host, including 12 pathogenicity islands crucial for its pathogenicity.
- Comparative analysis with other Enteritidis and Typhimurium strains highlights unique metabolic and structural differences, improving our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms involved.

In this study, we observed the effect of the newly isolated probiotic strain Limosilactobacillus reuteri B1/1 on the relative gene expression of selected cytokines (interleukin-15, transforming growth factor-β4), tight junction proteins (E-cadherin, occludin), biomarker active intestinal stem cells - LGR5 (leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor), markers of mucosal intestinal immunity (mucin-2, immunoglobulin A), as well as the creation of a new biomarker of inflammation in the intestine - calprotectin on an ex vivo model of chicken ileal explant in the prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis PT4 infection. The ability of L. reuteri B1/1 to effectively modulate the mucosal immune response under pretreatment conditions in S.

Introduction: serovar Enteritidis and serovar Typhimurium are among the main causative agents of nontyphoidal Salmonella infections, imposing a significant global health burden. The emergence of antibiotic resistance in these pathogens underscores the need for innovative therapeutic strategies.
Objective: To identify proteins as potential drug targets against and Salmonella Typhimurium serovars using approaches.

Salmonella is an important foodborne pathogen, and it is unable to produce the quorum sensing signaling molecules called acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs). However, it synthesizes the SdiA protein, detecting AHL molecules, also known as autoinducer-1 (AI-1), in the external environment. Exogenous AHLs can regulate specific genes related to virulence and stress response in Salmonella.

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has a potential application for food preservation that can minimize food pathogens posing risks to consumer health. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 405 nm light-emitting diodes (LEDs) illumination in the presence of carvacrol and curcumin against Enteritidis and Enteritidis PT4 at different temperatures (4 °C, 25 °C and 37 °C) and time parameters (15 min, 30 min and 45 min) in the illumination system. Compared to their individual treatment, the decrease in the bacterial population was stronger in bacteria treated with LEDs + carvacrol or LEDs + curcumin.
