This article examines the frequent contamination of fresh produce (e.g., cucumber and sprouts due to recent outbreaks linked to these foods) with Salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.

Marking the country’s first use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) in an active foodborne illness outbreak investigation, advanced genomics enabled Moldovan authorities to rapidly solve and respond to a salmonellosis outbreak that sickened more than 140 people in 2025.

Elevated levels of certain metals and the presence of commonly used disinfectants were found to inactivate Salmonella vaccines administered to poultry via drinking water.

Researchers found that the presence of nanoplastic particles can increase the expression of virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in Salmonella, and can also encourage biofilm formation.

A high proportion of Campylobacter and Salmonella from food-producing animals across Europe are resistant to antimicrobials that are important to human medicine. Escherichia coli resistance to last-resort carbapenems is growing.

The moringa powder capsules are sold under the Rosabella brand name and are distributed by Ambrosia Brands LLC. The outbreak strain is resistant to all first-line and alternative antibiotics commonly recommended for salmonellosis treatment.

This episode of Food Safety Five discusses new research about the rising Salmonella disease burden worldwide and the utility of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for Salmonella surveillance.

Researchers estimate that the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for routine pathogen surveillance in Australia prevents up to 10,900 foodborne salmonellosis cases and delivers as much as $17 million in cost savings annually.

At a January 14 public meeting on strategies to reduce Salmonella in poultry products, USDA-FSIS focused on the importance of tailored strategies, data-driven decisions, and considering the needs of small- and medium-sized establishments. Stakeholders shared their concerns and ideas.
