Rapid serotype-independent differential detection of biofilm-positive and biofilm-negative <i>Salmonella</i> using Fourier transform infrared biotyping.

ABSTRACT: Foodborne illnesses caused by Salmonella represent a global one health challenge, with biofilm-forming strains exhibiting enhanced public health risks due to their ability to persist due to resistance to antimicrobial agents, disinfectants, and environmental stresses. While food-safety and public health investigation primarily focus on Salmonella identification and source tracing, they often overlook the biofilm-forming capacity of isolates, limiting their predictive value for risks posed by biofilm producing Salmonella. This study assessed fourier transform infrared (FTIR) biotyping for rapid serotype-independent differentiatial detection of biofilm-positive (BFP) from biofilm-negative (BFN) Salmonella. A total of 270 Salmonella strains representing 12 c
