Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis was employed to measure chromosomal genotypic
diversity and evolutionary relationships among 761 isolates of the serovars Salmonella …

Repetitive extragenic palindromic sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) utilizing a semi-
automated system, was evaluated as a method to determine Salmonella serotypes. A group …

The question of how bacteria are able to overcome species barriers and adapt to new hosts
is central to the understanding of both the origin of infectious diseases and the emergence of …

The purpose of this study was to develop a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
protocol useful in the virulence genotyping of Salmonella spp. with the idea that genotyping …

Species and subspecies within the Salmonella genus have been defined for public health
purposes by biochemical properties; however, reference laboratories have increasingly …

Abstract Background The fliC and fljB genes in Salmonella code for the phase 1 (H1) and
phase 2 (H2) flagellin respectively, the rfb cluster encodes the majority of enzymes for …

The global trend toward intensive livestock production has led to significant public health
risks and industry-associated losses due to an increased incidence of disease and …

Salmonella spp. represent one of the most common causes of bacterial foodborne illnesses
around the world. The species Salmonella enterica contains more than 2500 serotypes, and …

Since the 1930s, traditional methods of strain identification based on serotyping and phage
typing have been the foundation of salmonella epidemiology. Although the incidence of …

Background The species Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) includes many serovars that
cause disease in avian and mammalian hosts. These serovars differ greatly in their host …
