The demand for rapid and accurate detection methods for Enteritidis necessitates the development of highly sensitive and specific biosensors to ensure proper monitoring of food safety and quality requirements in the food sector and to secure human health. This study focused on development of a polyaniline/zinc oxide (PANI/ZnO) nanocomposite film on a gold electrode conductometric immunosensor for detection of Enteritidis. The sensor was modified with monoclonal anti- Enteritidis antibodies as biorecognition elements. The fabricated sensor was able to detect and quantify the target pathogen within 30 min and showed a good detection range from 10 to 10 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL for Enteritidis and a minimum detection limit of 6.44 CFU/mL in 0.1% peptone water. Additionally, the fabricated sensor showed good selectivity and detection limit toward the target bacterium and successfully determined Enteritidis content in ultrahigh heat-treated skim milk samples without pretreatment of the food sample.

While lettuce immune responses to enteropathogens have been studied at the molecular and physiological levels, plant secondary metabolite responses have received little attention. We evaluated romaine lettuce phenolic metabolite responses to Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica Enteritidis infiltrated into the leaf apoplast. Evaluating spectrophotometric profiles of leaf extracts, we detected shifts in overall phenolics and developed a semi-quantitative method to measure representative phenolics absorbing maximally at 255, 273, 280 and 329 nm, based on known standards for quercetin, gallic acid, catechin and chlorogenic acid, respectively.

The wide diversity of Salmonella serotypes poses challenges for traditional serotyping methods, which are labor-intensive and unsuitable for high-throughput testing, particularly in food safety contexts. Hence, this study aimed to develop and validate a real-time PCR method for detecting Salmonella spp., identifying the major public health serotypes (S.

The presence of Salmonella species cells in the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state has been extensively confirmed in both aqueous environments and food systems, posing a significant and often underestimated threat to public health. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing the formation and resuscitation of VBNC Salmonella remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to elucidate the functions of yeaZ in regulating the formation and resuscitation of VBNC Salmonella enteritidis.

Numerous foodborne disease outbreaks have been attributed to the consumption of fresh produce contaminated with foodborne pathogens. Contaminated irrigation water is a well-established source of bacterial and viral contamination during primary production and is frequently responsible for the contamination of fresh produce. However, efficient methods for the simultaneous detection of bacterial and viral pathogens present in irrigation water are still scarce.
