Sensitivity of dairy calf <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serotype Cerro isolates to infection-relevant stressors.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica serotype Cerro (S. Cerro) is an emerging Salmonella serotype isolated from cattle, but the association of S. Cerro with disease is not well understood. While comparative genomic analyses of bovine S. Cerro isolates have indicated mutations in elements associated with virulence, the correlation of S. Cerro fecal shedding with clinical disease in cattle varies between epidemiologic studies. The primary objective of this study was to characterize the infection-relevant phenotypes of S. Cerro fecal isolates obtained from neonatal calves born on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, USA. The S. Cerro isolates varied in biofilm production and sensitivity to the bile salt deoxycholate. All S. Cerro isolates were sensitive to
