Retail Meat Sample Rinsate for Seroplacer Testing
Genomic DNA for the bacterial isolates was extracted using the DNeasy PowerLyser Microbial Kit following manufacturer protocols (Qiagen). DNA concentrations were measured using NanoDrop Spectrophotometry (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and normalized  to contain approximately 100 ng/L and 30 L of bacterial DNA. 16S sequencing libraries for 10 Salmonella isolates and 27 animal sourced isolates were prepared using the LoopSeq pipeline from Loop Genomics following manufacturer protocols (loopgenomics.com).
