This study uses C. elegans to compare the virulence of five S. Newport isolates, finding that two strains are more virulent despite being nearly genetically identical.

This study sequenced 396 Salmonella Infantis genomes from Chile, revealing widespread dissemination of MDR isolates associated with ESBL-producing plasmids and intermediate fluoroquinolone resistance across multiple niches.

bettercallsal identifies multiple Salmonella serotypes from enrichment cultures using shotgun metagenomics, outperforming existing tools in accuracy and throughput for outbreak analysis.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze 91 Salmonella Enteritidis isolates from mice on poultry farms, identifying SNPs that distinguish isolates and provide biomarkers for outbreak detection.
