Shabarinath Srikumar PhD, Auburn University, Auburn, United States

Dr. Shabarinath Srikumar is an assistant professor at the Department of Poultry Science, College of Agriculture, Auburn University. His research interest focuses on understanding how pathogenic bacteria survive and proliferate in poultry meat and the environment. Studying the pathogen-food interactions at a molecular level will allow deep insights into how pathogenic bacteria alter their metabolic and regulatory profiles during adaptation to the different poultry environments. To this end, we will use different nucleic acid sequencing-based and other molecular microbiological assays on Salmonella Typhimurium (and other select serotypes) as model organisms. Our goal is to develop data that will aid the development of novel technologies aimed at making food safer.

Jinquan Wang PhD, Auburn University, Auburn, United States
Dr. Jinquan Wang is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Poultry Science at Auburn University, where his work focuses on improving food safety and poultry production through one health approach. His current research includes identifying and evaluating Salmonella intervention strategies on reducing Salmonella colonization, transmission and persistence in poultry production.

About the Collection

Poultry Science and Management is calling for submissions to our Collection on
Isolation, Prevalence and Management of Salmonella in Poultry. Salmonella infections remain a significant concern in the poultry industry, impacting both animal health and food safety. The prevalence of these bacterial pathogens poses risks not only to poultry but also to consumers, making it imperative to explore effective management strategies. Continued research in this area is essential for developing innovative solutions that can mitigate the risks associated with animal salmonellosis, ultimately contributing to improved public health outcomes. Looking ahead, the potential for future advances in this research area is vast. Innovations in biotechnology and genomics may lead to the discovery of new anti-infective agents that can effectively combat Salmonella infections. Furthermore, the integration of precision agriculture and data analytics could enhance our ability to monitor and manage Salmonella prevalence in poultry production systems.

We invite researchers to contribute to this special Collection by submitting articles and reviews. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Rapid identification and enumeration for Salmonella
- Prevalence studies in poultry populations
- Management strategies for animal salmonellosis
- Bacterial resistance and anti-infective agents
- Impact of Salmonella on food safety
- Epidemiological modeling of Salmonella transmission
- Animal welfare considerations in Salmonella control
- Policy implications for Salmonella management
