Bloodstream infections caused by nontyphoidal Salmonella are a major public health
concern in Africa, causing~ 49,600 deaths every year. The most common Salmonella …

Numerous bacteriophages specific to Salmonella have been isolated or identified as part of
host genome sequencing projects. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequenced phages, based …

In the past 30 years, Salmonella bloodstream infections have become a significant health
problem in sub-Saharan Africa and are responsible for the deaths of an estimated 390,000 …

During in vitro broth culture, bacterial gene expression is typically dominated by highly
expressed factors involved in protein biosynthesis, maturation, and folding, but it is unclear if …

Seventy-six epidemiologically unrelated Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis (S. Infantis)
isolates were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multiple amplification of …

We describe a suspension array hybridization assay for rapid detection and identification of
Salmonella and other bacterial pathogens using Luminex® xMAP™ technology. The …

Multilocus sequence ty** (MLST) is a relatively new high-resolution ty** system
employed for epidemiological studies of bacteria, including Salmonella. Discrimination …

Salmonella isolates harbour a range of resident prophages which can influence their
virulence and ability to compete and survive in their environment. Phage gene profiling of a …

Lysogenic conversion has been recently defined as a 'phage-associated heritable change in
the host cell's genotype and phenotype that is independent of the effects expected from …

Recently, the authors identified Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium)
definitive type (DT) 104-specific sequences of mainly prophage origin by genomic …
