Infections with non-typhoidal Salmonella are the second most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in developed countries, with the incidence of multidrug-resistant non-typhoidal Salmonella increasing considerably in the last two decades. Non-typhoidal salmonellosis in otherwise healthy individuals usually results in mild, self-limiting diarrhoea, but treatment with an appropriate antimicro...

BACKGROUND Salmonella enterica is an important emerging cause of invasive infections worldwide. However, population-based data are limited. The objective of this study was to define the occurrence of S. enterica bacteremia in a large international population and to evaluate temporal and regional differences. METHODS We conducted population-based laboratory surveillance for all salmonella bact...

Although Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of communityacquired bloodstream infection in Africa, these infections are frequently neglected as a target for public health intervention. The typhoidal Salmonella, serovars Typhi and Paratyphi A, cause enteric fever. Areas with high levels of endemic and epidemic typhoid fever are increasingly reported in Africa, and paratyphoid fever is describ...

Salmonella typhimurium, a non-typhoidal salmonella, is an unusual cause of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). It is usually reported in asymptomatic patients with normal or high ascitic fluid protein levels with underlying immunosuppression, as high opsonic activity in the ascitic fluid of these patients protects them from the usual organisms causing spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, unl...

BACKGROUND Septic abortion caused by transplacental salmonella infection is extremely rare; there are no reported cases of serotype oranienburg as an etiology. CASE We describe a patient with non-typhoidal Salmonella enteritidis serotype oranienburg as a cause of first-trimester pregnancy loss. The rapid progression of this patient's septicemia and adverse outcome is described. The epidemiolo...

Human infections by the bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica represent major disease burdens worldwide. This highly ubiquitous species consists of more than 2600 different serovars that can be divided into typhoidal and non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) serovars. Despite their genetic similarity, these two groups elicit very different diseases and distinct immune responses in humans. Comparative...

BACKGROUND Salmonella enterica is the zoonotic agent most frequently responsible for foodborne infections in humans worldwide. In this work the presence of S. enterica was investigated in 734 unique enteropathogenic isolates collected from human patients between 2011 and 2012. RESULTS All Salmonella spp. isolates were subjected to serotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Isolates ...

INTRODUCTION Typhoid fever is endemic in Egypt; and quinolones are the empirical treatment of choice. There are very limited data reporting quinolone resistance among Egyptian typhoidal Salmonella isolates. We previously reported that all typhoidal Salmonella were sensitive to quinolones. This study aimed to isolate and identify typhoidal Salmonella from cases suffering from enteric fever at Mi...

Non-typhoidal Salmonella are infrequent causes of childhood meningitis. Most reports of Salmonella typhi meningeal infections are confined to neonates. A rare instance of S. typhi in an otherwise healthy eleven month old infant is being reported.
