Summary: Latest from our Journal Club: Salmonella rates in retail meats, with evidence of multidrug resistance and links to human infections. Faster antimicrobial susceptibility testing and how hospital genomic surveillance can enable earlier identification of transmission chains.
Routine real-time WGS surveillance identified previously unrecognized hospital outbreaks, reduced transmission, and demonstrated significant cost savings, supporting integration of genomic surveillance into standard infection prevention programs.

This week’s Journal Club explores Salmonella rates in retail meats, especially turkey, with evidence of multidrug resistance and links to human infections. It also highlights a faster antimicrobial susceptibility testing method that matches standard accuracy while improving efficiency. Finally, it reviews how hospital genomic surveillance can uncover hidden transmission outbreaks and provide a cost-effective way to help prevent infections.
