Title: Transient and resident Salmonella: A genomic approach to analyzing over a decade of genetic diversity from fish meal production and storage facilities.
Presenter: Johnathan Likens
Abstract: This webinar will discuss NSILs genomic approach in analyzing over a decade’s worth of Salmonella positive isolates collected from fish meal production and storage facilities. Utilizing the Illumina MiSeq platform and Galaxytrakr software NSIL analyzed the genetic diversity and determined the presence of transient and resident Salmonella serovars. With this work, we will provide new insight into the genetic diversity currently found in fish meal production facilities. Additionally, bringing awareness to the industry on the possibility of Salmonella harborage and the risk of downstream contamination.
