192 Food samples (commonly consumed 8 food types), 355 animal samples (animal feces of bovine, ovine, goat and chicken) and 50 samples from clinical human cases in Sanliurfa city, Turkey in a year were collected to determine the Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica mosaic in Turkey. 161 Salmonella isolates represented 17 serotypes, 20 sequence types (STs) and 44 PFGE patterns (PTs). 3 serotypes, S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium and S. Kentucky, were recovered from three different hosts. The highest discriminatory power was obtained by PFGE (SID = 0.945), followed by MLST (SID = 0.902) and serotyping (SID = 0.885) for all isolates. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes (aadA1, aadA2, strA, strB, aphA(1-lab) bla(TEM-1), bla(PSE-1), tetA) was highly correlated with phenotypic profiles of aminoglycoside, beta-lactam and tetracycline groups (kappa >0.85). From our knowledge, this is the first study reporting spatial and temporal distribution of Salmonella species through phenotypic and genetic approaches over farm to fork chain in Turkey. Thus, our data provided further information for evolution, ecology and transmission of Salmonella in Turkey. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Isolation and Characterization of Salmonella Bacteriophages
DENİZ, Aysu; Soyer, Yeşim; Department of Food Engineering (2022-2-03)
Numerous foodborne infections and outbreaks are associated with Salmonella which makes it a challenge in terms of human health and economy. Therefore, reducing the prevalence of Salmonella in food and food processing areas is of great importance. Antibiotics are the substances that are commonly used in various stages of food production in order to fight against Salmonella. However, concerns related with the antibiotic use like antibiotic resistance give rise to pursuit of safer methods to eliminate Salmonel...
Subtyping of salmonella isolated from human clinical and animal non-clinical cases, as well as different food samples using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) /
Bulut, Ece; Soyer, Yeşim; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biotechnology (2014)
Salmonella is one of the most reported pathogens in foodborne outbreaks worldwide. In order to ensure safety of foods, farm-to-fork surveillance and control systems must be utilized. Development of numerous typing methods have improved the ability to detect salmonellosis outbreaks, enabling to trace the contaminated source from farm to fork. Facilitating prevention and regulation of techniques, knowledge of the epidemiology, genetics and ecology of Salmonella infections depend on the information provided by...
Antimicrobial Drug Resistance Patterns among Cattle- and Human-Associated Salmonella Strains
Soyer, Yeşim; Richards, J.; Hoelzer, K.; Warnick, L. D.; Fortes, E.; McDonough, P.; Dumas, N. B.; Groehn, Y. T.; Wiedmann, M. (2013-10-01)
During the year 2004, 178 human and 158 bovine clinical Salmonella isolates were collected across New York State to better understand the transmission dynamics and genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance among human and bovine hosts. Serotyping, sequence typing, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis typing results have been reported previously. Here we tested all isolates for phenotypic susceptibility to 15 antimicrobial drugs that are part of the National Antimicrobial Monitoring System bovine susc...
Salmonella surveillance on fresh produce and inactivation by high hydrostatic pressure
Günel, Elif; Soyer, Yeşim; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2014)
In this study, 248 fresh produce samples including tomato, parsley and lettuce (i.e. iceberg and greenleaf lettuce) were collected from supermarkets and local bazaars in Ankara for investigating the presence of Salmonella. Salmonella was detected in 1.2% (3/248) of samples by conventional culturing method with molecular confirmation conducted through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For further characterization of isolates, serotyping, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of seven housekeeping genes (aroC, thr...
Isolation, molecular characterization of food-borne drug resistant salmonella spp. and detection of class 1 integrons
Avşaroğlu, M. Dilek; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Department of Biotechnology (2007)
In this study, 59 epidemiologically unrelated Salmonella strains isolated from foods in Türkiye and 49 Salmonella strains obtained from National Salmonella Reference Laboratories of Germany were analysed. For the characterization of strains, analyses such as serotyping, phage typing, antibiotyping and molecular biological characterization were done. The strains exhibited 17 different serotypes with S. Enteritidis serotype and PT21 phage type being the most prevalent in Turkish isolates. The highest antimicr...
