Within the realm of lateral flow assay (LFIA), the conjugation efficiency between signal tracers and antibody constitutes a pivotal determinant for the sensitivity of the detection system. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) complex flower-like MoS self-assembled from 2D MoS, and natural plant polyphenols "Tannic acid" were introduced for surface modification. This composite material exhibits distinct colorimetric signals, excellent monoclonal antibody coupling efficiency, and commendable photothermal properties.Finally, it was used as a signal tracer to establish a 12-min colorimetric/photothermal dual-mode LFIA platform (MoS/TA-LFIA) for Salmonella Typhimurium detection. Compared to the AuNPs-based LFIA, the dual-mode detection platform limits are decreased by 20-fold (to 5 × 10 cfu/mL) and 100-fold (to 10 cfu/mL), respectively. Furthermore, the MoS/TA-LFIA exhibits satisfactory recovery and stability when applied to milk and orange juice samples. Thus, this study provides a novel, efficient and reliable antibody loading strategy for LFIA detection of foodborne pathogens.

Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is one of the most common food-borne diseases, highlighted as the top food-borne bacterial pathogen in the world with a low infectious dose (1 CFU) and high mortality rate. It is commonly associated with numerous foods such as dairy products, protein sources (multiple types of meat, poultry, and eggs), and bakery products.

This study explored the antimicrobial efficacy and mechanism of a combined treatment using chlorogenic acid (CGA) and UV-A (365 nm) irradiation against four major foodborne pathogens-Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus-in both buffer and acidic beverage matrices. The CGA + UVA treatment showed strong bactericidal effects, particularly in green plum juice, where complete inactivation of L. monocytogenes was achieved (> 8-log reduction).

Macrophages are professional phagocytes that play a major role in engulfing and eliminating invading pathogens. Some intracellular pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, exploit macrophages as niches for their replication, which requires precise and dynamic modulation of bacterial gene expression in order to resist the hostile intracellular environment. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the global transcriptome of S.

Background: Salmonella enterica encompasses over 2,600 serovars, including several commonly associated with severe infection in humans. Salmonella is a major cause of sepsis in Africa; however, diagnosis requires clinical microbiology facilities. Environmental surveillance has the potential to play a role in Salmonella surveillance.

Host-pathogen interactions involve two critical strategies: resistance, whereby hosts clear invading microbes, and tolerance, whereby hosts carry high pathogen burden asymptomatically. Here, we investigate mechanisms by which Salmonella-superspreader (SSP) hosts maintain an asymptomatic state during chronic infection. We found that regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for this disease-tolerant state, limiting intestinal immunopathology and enabling SSP hosts to thrive, while facilitating Salmonella transmission.
