Foodborne outbreak investigation takes time, and rapid responses and detection may allow for faster investigation and tracking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Salmonella is the most common foodborne disease in the United States accounting for 1 million illnesses, 19,000 hospitalizations, and 380 deaths annually. The bacteria can be transmitted via contact with animals, person-to-person, or by foods contaminated with small amounts of animal feces. There are over 40-50 cases per week reported to the CDC. Salmonella is genetically homogenous, and there is need for a more discriminatory method to strain-type so that cases in the cluster can be more accurately matched and investigated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The team studied Salmonella by performing whole genome analysis on the Ion S5XL system combined with the Ion Chef. The Ion Chef allowed for fast, easy, automated template preparation and the Ion S5 for sequencing. They also used web-based analysis using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/life-science\/sequencing\/next-generation-sequencing\/ion-torrent-next-generation-sequencing-workflow\/ion-torrent-next-generation-sequencing-data-analysis-workflow\/ion-torrent-suite-software-plugins.html?socid=social_btb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AssemblerSPAdes Ion Torrent\u2122 server plugin<\/a> for de novo assembly and phylogenetic analysis of the bacteria, allowing them to receive enhanced cluster resolution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">In conclusion, the Ion S5 along with the Ion Chef can provide a fast rapid analysis of microbial DNA that may be helpful in future epidemics or outbreaks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Missed AGBT 2016?
