Poultry are well recognized as possible carriers of Salmonella species. As part of the local foods movement, backyard poultry flocks have increased in popularity in recent years. Between 1996 and 2012, 45 outbreaks of human Salmonella infections linked to live poultry from mail-order hatcheries were documented. This review examines the history of live poultry-associated salmonellosis in humans ...

Clinical disease caused by weakly pathogenic mycobacterial species, which is known as Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD), is a rare entity. IFN-γ and IL-17 production are defective due to insufficient response to IL-2 and IL-23 in IL-12Rβ1 deficiency; so this also causes tendency to intracellular microorganisms and candidal diseases. Here, we present a patient who suffers ...

Roles of probiotic microorganisms in digestive physiology are contributed to enhancing animals health and reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases. Banning the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry in many countries has been contributed to the increasing use of probiotics because long-term use of antibiotics causes antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria in poultry a...

BACKGROUND Despite control efforts, salmonellosis continues to cause an estimated 1.2 million infections in the United States (US) annually. We describe the incidence of salmonellosis in the US and introduce a novel approach to examine the epidemiologic similarities and differences of individual serotypes. METHODS Cases of salmonellosis in humans reported to the laboratory-based National Salm...

Non-typhoidal salmonellosis, which is increasing nowadays in Korea as well as in the developed countries, is manifested as enteritis in most cases, but it also encompasses bacteremia, intraabdominal infections, and bone, joint and soft tissue infections. These rare diseases are known to result from primary gastrointestinal infection and subsequent bacteremia with or without symptoms. We experie...

Non-typhoidal Salmonella species are important foodborne pathogens that can cause gastroenteritis, bacteremia, and subsequent focal infections. Non-typhoidal salmonellosis is problematic, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. Any anatomical site can be affected by this pathogen via hematogenous seeding and may develop local infections. However, cervical lymphadenitis caused by non-typhoidal ...

Currently HIV infection in Kazakhstan is mainly spread among population groups with risk taking behavior (injection drug users - IDUs, sex workers SWs). The lesions and fatalities patients are caused by complications, i.e. the development of opportunistic infections secondary diseases. Timely diagnosis these conditions determines success treatment life expectancy patients. Among superinfections...

QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY To describe the current epidemiological situation of enteric salmonellosis in Switzerland and its development in the last two decades, particularly by determining the ratio between domestic and travel-associated cases. METHODS Between 1 February 2011 and 31 January 2012, 14 medical laboratories continuously reported their isolations of enteric salmonellae to the Federal ...

Salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis are major foodborne diseases caused by consumption of contaminated raw pork or poultry. Symptomatic disease is mainly characterized by gastroenteritis, although immunoreactive complications also occur, especially among the immunocompromised. Although these diseases cause the highest number of confirmed foodborne bacterial infections in Belgium, their real an...
