NewsNew dual therapeutic strategy shows promise against multidrug-resistant salmonella
A new collaborative study discloses the discovery and application of a new therapeutic strategy to target the multidrug-resistant bacterium Salmonella enterica in vivo, with promising results. The results were published in Scientific Reports. Source: CDC/ Antibiotic Resistance Coordination and Strategy Unit Medical illustration of drug-resistant, nontyphoidal Salmonella sp. ...

NewsScientists reveal why chicken farms are a breeding ground for AMR bacteria
Scientists are one step closer to understanding how bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella enterica, share genetic material which makes them resistant to antibiotics.

NewsGenetic sequencing uncovers unexpected source of pathogens in floodwaters
Local rivers and streams were the source of the Salmonella enterica contamination along coastal North Carolina after Hurricane Florence in 2018 – not the previously suspected high number of pig farms in the region.

NewsDiverse gut bacteria communities protect against harmful pathogens by nutrient blocking
A new study demonstrates that diverse communities of resident bacteria can protect the human gut from disease-causing microorganisms. However, this protective effect is lost when only single species of gut bacteria are present.

NewsNew way to count microbes speeds research and cuts waste
Researchers have developed a new way of counting microorganisms that works as much as 36 times faster than conventional methods, cuts plastic use and decreases the cost and carbon footprint of biomedical research.

NewsAnti-fire blight bacterium shows potential as biocontrol agent to reduce Salmonella contamination of produce
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture have isolated a microbe that can prevent the growth of Salmonella enterica on cantaloupe melons during the pre- and post-harvest periods.

NewsSalmonella escapes host’s defences using two-pronged approach
Researchers have uncovered two strategies that the Salmonella enterica bacterium uses to protect itself from the human body’s defence mechanisms, both driven by the same protein.

NewsDiagnostic technique IDs five key AMR markers in water samples in less than an hour
A new testing method can detect five key antimicrobial resistance markers in water samples in less than an hour.

NewsProtective bacterial cultures offer promise for antibiotic resistant salmonella in food
UConn researcher Dennis D’Amico and his team looked at the ability of a protective culture called Hafnia alvei B16 to prevent infection by two Salmonella serovars, a grouping within the Salmonella enterica species.
