Whole genome sequencing of preservative-exposed Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium to determine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are selected over evolutionary time
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Antimicrobials have been shown to select for changes in biofilm formation and multidrug susceptibility in common human pathogens. We investigated whether common food preservatives selected for these changes in the food pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Bacteria were exposed to four food preservatives in either planktonic cultures or biofilms grown on stainless steel beads. Cultures were passaged into fresh media supplemented with the food preservative every 72 hours. Following approximately 1000 generations of continuous preservative exposure, populations were sequenced to determine the single nucleotide polymorphisms that were selected for over evolutionary time.
