The Salmonella species is an extremely rare cause of infective endocarditis. This case report is for Salmonella spp. group B proven by positive multiple blood cultures, and positive intraoperative culture from the vegetation of the mitral valve prosthesis.

Food-borne zoonoses have a major health impact in industrial countries. Campylobacter spp., Salmonella enterica, Yersinia enterocolitica and Listeria monocytogenes are high-risk food-borne zoonotic hazards in finishing pigs. The objectives of this work were (1) to study the isolation rate of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp. and L. monocytogenes in the tonsils an...

Results In the study period 3,929 patients with AD (with 353 positive cases) presented to the Infectious Diseases Hospital out of which 2,550 children (with 301 positive cases) and 1,371 adults (with 52 positive cases). In children rotavirus enteritis ranked first in the etiology of infectious enteritis with a confirmed etiology of 62% over the entire period (186 cases) with a peak incidence in...

BACKGROUND The US CDC estimates over 2 million foodborne illnesses are annually caused by 4 major enteropathogens: non-typhoid Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Shigella spp. and Yersinia enterocoltica. While data suggest a number of costly and morbid chronic sequelae associated with these infections, pathogen-specific risk estimates are lacking. We utilized a US Department of Defense medica...

salmonella enterica is recognized as one of the major food-borne pathogens with more than 2,500 serotypesworldwide. the present study addresses antimicrobial resistance of salmonella enterica serovar enteritidisisolates in iran. a collection of 151 salmonella spp. isolates collected from poultry were serotyped toidentify salmonella enteritidis. sixty-one salmonella enteritidis were subsequently...

Salmonella and Campylobacter continue to be major foodborne pathogens and raw poultry is considered to be an important source of these bacteria. In this study, the prevalence and numbers of Salmonella and Campylobacter spp. in relation to isolation/sampling methods were determined in 241 whole raw chickens purchased from retail outlets in England during the winters of 1998/1999 (101 chickens) a...

Salmonella is one of the most serious foodborne pathogenic bacteria in the United States, causing an estimated 1.3 million human illnesses each year. Dairy cows can be reservoirs of foodborne pathogenic bacteria, including Salmonella spp.; it is estimated that from 27 to 31% of dairy herds across the United States are colonized by Salmonella. The present study was designed to examine the occurr...

The aim of this study is to characterize antibiogram and heavy metal resistance pattern of Salmonella spp. isolated from wild Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer). Salmonella spp. is recognized as a food borne pathogen to humans. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the suitable antibiotic in controlling Salmonella spp. isolated from Asian sea bass, Malaysian favorite seafood. In the...

Salmonella spp. is an important zoonotic pathogen related to foodborne diseases. Despite that quinolones/fluoroquinolones are considered a relevant therapeutic strategy against resistant isolates, the increase in antimicrobial resistance is an additional difficulty in controlling bacterial infections caused by Salmonella spp. Thus, the acquisition of resistance to quinolones in Salmonella spp. ...

To garner information regarding site of infection and age and sex of persons infected with Salmonella enterica subspecies II-IV, we retrospectively analyzed data on Salmonella spp. infections in California, USA, 1985-2009. These subspecies were found to cause significantly more frequent invasive disease (e.g., bacteremia) than did Salmonella subspecies I strains.
