Persistent endemicity of Salmonella bongori 48:z(35):--in Southern Italy: molecular characterization of human, animal, and environmental isolates.

چکیده
From 1984 to 1999, we collected 31 isolates of the rare serovar Salmonella bongori 48:z(35):- in southern Italy. Twenty-four of the isolates were from cases of acute enteritis in humans. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis showed that all but one of our isolates were at least 80% similar. Our findings suggest that genetically related S. bongori 48:z(35):- strains are endemically circulating in southern Italy.

To the Editor: Serovars of Salmonella, other than subspecies enterica, are primarily associated with cold-blooded animals and infrequently colonize the intestines of warm-blooded animals. Strains of S. bongori, in particular, are rarely isolated from human patients (1,2). However , during 1984–2004, 27 strains of S. bongori with the antigenic formula 48:z 35 :– were identifi ed from 2 epi-and f...
متن کاملCharacterization of Salmonellae isolated from different animal and human sources by PCR and resistance trends
Salmonella is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens with many virulence factors playing a major role in its pathogenesis. The aims of this study were to detect spvA, int2 and invC virulence genes of different Salmonella serotypes isolated from various clinical animal and human sources, and to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns among these serotypes. Using a PCR assay, a total of ...

Introduction: In Iran, invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease causes severe bacteremic illness among children <5 years old. The global yearly incidence of iNTS disease in children was reported to be in the 3.4 (range 2.1-6.5) million cases, (overall incidence 49 cases (range 30-94) per 100,000 population), the iNTS case-fatality ratio (CFR) of 20% yielded 681,316 deat...
