Research – New role of small RNAs in Salmonella infections uncovered
Salmonella are food-borne pathogens that infect millions of people a year. To do so, these bacteria depend on a complex network of genes and gene products that allow them to sense environmental conditions. In a new paper, researchers have investigated the role of small RNAs that help Salmonella express their virulence genes.
The bacteria infect humans by first invading the cells of the intestine using a needle-like structure, called a type 3 secretion system. This structure injects proteins directly into the cells, setting off a cascade of changes that cause inflammation, and ultimately cause diarrhea. The genes that encode this system, and other genes that are needed for invasion, are found on a region of DNA known as the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1.
Research – Two Outbreaks of Foodborne Gastrointestinal Infection Linked to Consumption of Imported Melons, United Kingdom, March to August 2021 – Salmonella – STEC E.coli
Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe two foodborne outbreaks caused by contaminated imported melon and make recommendations for future practice. Between March and July 2021, there was an outbreak of 113 cases of Salmonella Braenderup in the UK (62% female, median age 61 years, 33% hospitalized). Analytical epidemiological studies identified Galia melons as the vehicle of infection (OR 671.9, 95% CI 39.0–58,074.0, p < 0.001). Subsequently, the outbreak strain was isolated from two samples of Galia melon imported from Latin America. In July and August 2021, there was an outbreak of 17 cases of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 in the UK (53% female, median age 21 years, 35% were hospitalized). Review of the STEC surveillance questionnaire data, followed by the analysis of responses from a modified hypothesis-generating questionnaire, implicated eating precut watermelon from retailer B sourced from Europe as the vehicle of infection. Outbreaks of gastrointestinal pathogens caused by contaminated food of nonanimal origin are a global public health concern. Given the difficulty in removing pathogens from the flesh of ready-to-eat fruit and vegetables, public health interventions should target all steps of the food chain prior to consumption, from cultivation on the farm to processing/packing and distribution.

Australia – Warning over Qukes baby cucumbers following salmonella outbreak
WA Health is advising the public about an outbreak of diarrheal illnesses caused by Salmonella Typhimurium linked to consumption of Qukes® brand baby cucumbers.
Earlier today Pathwest confirmed Salmonella Typhimurium from a Qukes® brand baby cucumber purchased at a Perth metropolitan supermarket on 23 December 2022. The Qukes® cucumbers were tested as part of an investigation into 19 diarrheal illnesses in WA caused by a unique strain of Salmonella Typhimurium.
This information was communicated to the supplier, Perfection Fresh in South Australia. The investigation is ongoing, and the Department of Health WA is advising people not to consume Qukes® purchased in December 2022 until more information becomes available.
This is the only brand under investigation, other brands of cucumbers are safe to eat.
