Non-typhoid salmonellosis is an infectious disease caused by Salmonella species other than Salmonella typhi. Although the usual clinical course of non-typhoid salmonellosis is a benign self-limiting gastroenteritis, these bacteria are especially problematic in immunocompromised individuals, including patients with malignancies, human immunodeficiency virus, or diabetes, and those receiving cort...

To determine the prevalence of invasive nontyphoid salmonellosis and typhoid fever in Malawi and South Africa, we compared case frequency and patient age distribution. Invasive nontyphoid salmonellosis showed a clear bimodal age distribution; the infection developed in women at a younger age than in men. Case frequency for typhoid fever was lower than for salmonellosis.

Several case-control studies have investigated risk factors for human salmonellosis while others have used Salmonella subtyping to attribute human infections to different food and animal reservoirs. This study combined case-control and source attribution data into a single analysis to explore risk factors at the point of exposure for human salmonellosis originating from four putative food-produ...

Colibacillosis and salmonellosis are the most common avian diseases that are communicable to humans. This article provides the vital information on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, control and public health concerns of avian colibacillosis and salmonellosis. A b...
