Effects of attenuated vaccine protocols against Salmonella Typhimurium on Salmonella serology in subclinically infected pig herds Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
Vaccination of pigs against Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) can be effective for the control of Salmonella infections at the farm level and reduce the risk of Salmonella contamination in the food chain. However, vaccination may interfere with herd serological status in serology-based Salmonella monitoring programs. The present study investigated the effects of an attenuated S. Typhimurium vaccine (Salmoporc, IDT Biologika) on ...
Non-typhoidal Salmonella bloodstream infections in Kisantu, DR Congo: emergence of O5-negative Salmonella Typhimurium and extensive drug resistance Institute of Tropical Medicine University of Antwerp KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are a major cause of bloodstream infection (BSI) in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to assess its longitudinal evolution as cause of BSI, its serotype distribution and its antibiotic resistance pattern in Kisantu, DR Congo.
METHODS: As part of a national surveillance network, blood cultures were sampled in patients with suspected BSI admitted to Kisantu referral hospital from 2015-2017. ...

Comparison of the PhoPQ regulon in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium Institute of Tropical Medicine
The PhoPQ two-component system acts a transcriptional regulator that responds to Mg2+ starvation both in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium (Garcia et al. 1996; Kato et al. 1999). By monitoring the availability of extracellular Mg2+, this two-component system allows S. typhimurium to sense the transition from an extracellular environment to a subcellular location. Concomitantly with this transition, a set of virulence factors ...
