However, traditional serological agglutination methods are time-consuming, technically complex, and difficult to adopt at scale. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a rapid and cost-effective microbial identification technique, but it cannot be used to differentiate\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                      serotypes.

The ZUCH data were randomly divided into training and internal validation sets. The WCGH data were used as an external validation set. Ten machine learning algorithms were evaluated for their ability to identify eight\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                      serotypes (B, C1, C2\/3, D, E, Not A-F,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                      Typhimurium, and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                      Enteritidis). From 192 initial features, 16 features were selected for the final model construction. XGBoost demonstrated the best discriminative ability (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.9898, sensitivity = 0.88, and specificity = 0.98) for the training set. The streamlined XGBoost model achieved AUCs of 0.9662 and 0.9778 for the internal and external validation sets, respectively, accurately identifying\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                      serotypes.
