GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF SALMONELLA ENTERICA PEROVAR NEWPORT ISOLATES FROM CATTLE

Objective

The overall goal of this research is to provide basic knowledge on antimicrobial resistance, virulence and conjugative ability in Salmonella Newport isolates found in beef carcasses and hides from US slaughterhouses by genetically determining multidrug resistance status, pathogenicity and ability to transfer and/or uptake such genes in a Salmonella spp. of public health concern causing substantive costs to the beef cattle industry due to fatal disease in cattle prior to slaughter as well as food poisoning and more serious human cases.
