Standardization of sample analysis is currently needed in microbiome genomics research workflow. Lack of standardization can lead to biases and errors in common processes during sample preparation and analysis such as sample amplification, sequencing and bioinformatics analyses.¹ Inactivated Salmonella enterica can serve as standard for benchmarking the performance along the workflow of microbiomics or meta-genomics analyses and as a tool to increase reproducibility and allow comparison of results obtained by different labs.Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (also S. Typhimurium) is a rod-shaped gram-negative bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is an important food-borne pathogen that in humans causes intestinal inflammation, diarrhea, and the presence of neutrophils in stool samples.² Growth of S. enterica in the gut lumen causes depletion of the healthy microbial community.³ Infection with Salmonella can induce inflammation and increase the risk for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)⁴
