Fresh fruits, especially strawberries, are usually consumed raw without any step to ensure their food safety. Salmonella enterica is one of the most important etiologic agents for foodborne diseases throughout the world and its ability to respond to some stress responses makes it even more dangerous. In the present investigation, we study the survival of S.

Following the market trends, the consumption of fresh and cold-pressed juice in Europe is increasing. However, a primary concern – particularly in apple juice – is the related outbreaks caused by food-borne pathogens. One of the challenges is to find methods able to reduce pathogenic loads while avoiding deterioration of nutritional properties and bioactive compounds that occur in thermal pasteurization processes.

The increase in antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) foodborne pathogens, including E. coli and Salmonella in animals, humans, and the environment, is a growing public health concern. Among animals, cattle, pigs, and chicken are reservoirs of these pathogens worldwide.

Salmonella spp. are a commonly identified cause of outbreaks of food-borne diseases. Despite much research, there remains the need to find new antimicrobial and anti-biofilm agents against Salmonella. For this, it is necessary to distinguish between these two aspects. Agents that influence biofilm formation should not affect bacterial growth, to thus avoid further promotion of the development of resistance.

This study investigated the prevalence of Salmonella in 210 retail meat samples (105 raw chicken and 105 raw pork) collected from supermarkets and wet markets in 13 areas of Hebei Province, China, from June to October 2018. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on all 125 Salmonella isolates to investigate their genetic relationship.
