Host range is a major determinant in the industrial utility of a bacteriophage. A model host
range permits broad recognition across serovars of a target bacterium while avoiding cross …

Background In resource-limited regions, relying on individual clinical results to monitor
community diseases is sometimes not possible. Establishing wastewater and non-sewered …

Background: Globally, Salmonella enterica is one of the leading causes of foodborne illness
in humans. Food of animal origin is obligatorily tested for the presence of this pathogen …

Abstract Background Citrobacter species are Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens
commonly reported in nosocomial-acquired infections. This study characterised four …

The chronology and phylogeny of bacterial evolution are difficult to reconstruct due to a
scarce fossil record. The analysis of bacterial genomes remains challenging because of …

Citrobacter werkmanii is an emerging and opportunistic human pathogen found in
developing countries and is a causative agent of wound, urinary tract, and blood infections …

Background To investigate the antimicrobial profiles and genomic characteristics of MDR-

Background Sequence-based methods for the detection of bacteria such as 16S rRNA
amplicon sequencing and metagenomics can provide a comprehensive view of the bacterial …

Background Although the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through food and its
production poses a significant concern, there is limited research on the prevalence of AMR …

Rapid and robust detection assays for Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in shell eggs are essential
to enable a quick testing turnaround time (TAT) at the earliest checkpoint and to ensure …
