Research Experience Metabolic Integration in Salmonella enterica: My first research experience began with a summer internship in the Bacteriology department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, investigating the compensatory mechanisms involved in metabolic integration. The overarching goal was to identify the changes and alternative pathways required to sustain life in a Salmonella enterica strain whose thiamine (vitamin B1) biosynthetic gene, thiH, had been replaced by an equivalent…

Poultry products are a major source of Salmonella infection in humans. In Australia, currently there are no published studies describing antimicrobial resistance pattern in Salmonella isolated from commercial egg farm or eggs. However, results from the Australian Reference Centre have shown differences in resistance pattern in Salmonella isolates recovered from egg and meat producing chickens (Australian Salmonella Reference Centre, 2009).

results it can also be said that this particular strain is coagulase-positive as hemolysis was present. Boils, impetigo, food poisoning, cellulitis, and toxic shock syndrome are some of the effects of Staphylococcus aureus. Salmonella Shigella Agar is used for the isolation of Salmonella spp. and some strains of Shigella spp (neogen). Beef extract, enzymatic digest of casein and animal tissue provide suitable sources of nitrogen, carbon and vitamin required for growth. Lactose is present as a…
