Rare Salmonella strains detected in South African chicken pose global food safety risk
Researchers have identified three uncommon Salmonella variants in South African poultry that have triggered outbreaks elsewhere worldwide. The discovery signals that dangerous strains are circulating in food supply chains beyond their known hotspots, demanding vigilance from meat producers and regulators managing food safety protocols.

<p>This paper presents the annotated genomes of Salmonella Haifa, Salmonella Bangkok, and Salmonella Reading, which are uncommonly isolated from meat in South Africa. Despite their rarity in South Africa, these serotypes have been linked to several high-profile outbreaks in other parts of the world.</p>
