Plain-English summary
Researchers created a new test that can quickly identify different types of Salmonella bacteria in chickens. This test can tell apart two specific types that can cause disease in birds, as well as three common types that usually don't make chickens sick but can still be present. The goal of this test is to help improve the health of chickens by quickly identifying these bacteria. This advancement could be beneficial for poultry health management.
Abstract
Based on bacterial genomic data, we developed a one-step multiplex PCR assay to identify Salmonella and simultaneously differentiate the two invasive avian-adapted S. enterica serovar Gallinarum biotypes Gallinarum and Pullorum, and the most frequent, specific, and asymptomatic colonizers of chickens, serovars Enteritidis, Heidelberg, and Kentucky.
