Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important foodborne pathogen. Here, we report complete whole-genome sequences for two STEC strains of serotypes O119:H4 and O165:H25 isolated from clinical cases in the United States.

The incidence of foodborne diseases has increased over the years and resulted in major public health problem globally. Foodborne pathogens can be found in various foods and it is important to detect foodborne pathogens to provide safe food supply and to prevent foodborne diseases. The conventional methods used to detect foodborne pathogen are time consuming and laborious. Hence, a variety of me...

Salmonella enterica is principally a foodborne pathogen that shows considerable serovar diversity. In this report, we present two draft genome sequences of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Lubbock, a novel serovar.

Salmonellais a foodborne pathogen found in a wide variety of sources. Here, we report draft genome sequences of threeSalmonella entericasubsp.entericaserovars found in herbs: Enteritidis, Veneziana, and Salford, with the latter two being extremely rare in California.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Oranienburg is recognized as a foodborne pathogen widely distributed in the environment. Here, we report 18 draft genomes of S Oranienburg strains isolated from rivers in the northwestern region of Mexico.

Foodborne pathogens pose risks to populations all over the world. Pathogens can be used as bioterrorism agents, causing an outbreak that affects many individuals through consumption of a commonly affected food or beverage. A PCR assay identify their unique melting points using high-resolution melt assay. Assays detect bacteria individually from mixture species-specific primers. An was developed...

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen causing listeriosis, especially in sensitive individuals such as children, pregnant women and persons with compromised immune systems. This pathogen has been isolated from different food products, but milk products surely play a major role in the epidemiology of this foodborne disease. identification traditionally involved culture methods based on ...

In recent years, many improvements have been made in foodborne pathogen detection methods to reduce the impact of food contamination. Several rapid methods have been developed with biosensor devices to improve the way of performing pathogen detection. This paper presents an automated endpoint detection system for amplicons generated by loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) on a microflu...
