Comprehensive Assessment of Subtyping Methods for Improved Surveillance of Foodborne Salmonella.

ABSTRACT: High-resolution and efficient typing for the bacterial pathogen is essential for tracking the sources, detecting or diagnosing variants, and conducting a risk assessment. However, a systematic in-field investigation of Salmonella along the food chain has not been documented. This study assessed 12 typing methods, such as antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) gene profile typing, Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing (cgMLST), and CRISPR multi-virulence locus sequence typing (CRISPR-MVLST), to evaluate their effectiveness for use in routine monitoring of foodborne Salmonella transmission along the poultry production chain. During 2015-16, a total of 1,064 samples were collected from poultry production chain, starting from breeding farms and slaughterhouses to the markets of Zhejiang province in C
