Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin (S. Dublin) is a bacterium host-adapted to cattle with increasing prevalence in dairy facilities. It can severely affect cattle health, producing high morbidity and mortality in young calves and reducing the performance of mature animals. (Velasquez-Munoz A, Castro-Vargas R, Cullens-Nobis FM, Mani R, Abuelo A. Review: Salmonella Dublin in dairy cattle. Front Vet Sci. 2024 Jan 9;10:1331767. doi: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1331767.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a gram-negative bacterium found in marine and estuarine environments. It is associated with the consumption of raw seafood, especially shellfish such as mussels. V. parahaemolyticus thrive in warmer water and areas of less salinity (Rezny BR, Evans DS. Vibrio parahaemolyticus Infection. [Updated 2023 Jun 26]. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2024 Jan-. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459164/)
