The bacterial gastrointestinal infections cholera, salmonellosis, shigellosis, campylobacteriosis, and diarrheagenic Escherichia coli are prevalent in tropical regions. These diseases impose an immense cost and contribute significantly to childhood morbidity and mortality. Management is hampered by limited access to diagnostic facilities and by antimicrobial drug resistance. Rapid point-of-care...

invasive salmonellosis is common in tropical areas. this study examines the performance of a clinical definition for its recognition among children ages 1 to 14 years admitting to a referral pediatric hospital in tehran. 60 children were enrolled into the study during a period of 51 months. to facilitate analysis, cases were divided into 5 categories according to the likelihood of invasive salm...

Salmonella sp, are opportunistic pathogens that can infect a wide range of hosts, including man (Murray, 1991). The increasing numbers of Salmonella infections reported in the last decades reveal an important health problem of considerable socio-economic impact (Kapperud et al., 1998). Salmonellosis has been reported in 85% of food-borne bacterial enteritis in humans from Spain (Pérez-Ciordia, ...

Salmonella infection commonly refers to as Salmonellosis is an infectious disease of humans and animals caused by organisms of the two species of Salmonella (Salmonella enterica, and Salmonella bongori). Globally, Salmonella enterica serotypes causes up to 27 million infections occur per year, with over 2x105 attributable deaths annually, predominantly among children under the age of five years...

BACKGROUND Human Salmonellosis is one of the major diseases in Ethiopia and several factors including under and mal-nutrition and HIV-AIDS may substantially contribute to its occurrence. Despite its importance, surveillance and monitoring systems are not in place and a comprehensive picture of its epidemiology is not available. The objectives of this study were to systematically review and esti...

To determine the burden of Salmonella infections in the United States, Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) investigators conducted population-based active surveillance for culture-confirmed Salmonella infections during 1996-1999 at FoodNet laboratories. In addition, all clinical microbiology FoodNet laboratories were surveyed to determine their practices for isolating Salmo...

We calculated rates of foodborne and waterborne infections reported to the health department in Victoria, Australia, during 2000-2009 for elderly residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and the community. We used negative binomial regression to estimate incidence rate ratios, adjusting for age, sex, and reporting period. We analyzed 8,277 infections in elderly persons. Rates of campyloba...

The federal ban in the United States on the sale of turtles with shell lengths <4 inches that was established in 1975 has reduced the number of turtle-associated human Salmonella infections during subsequent years, especially among children. Although numerous sporadic turtle-associated Salmonella infections in humans have been reported since the ban went into effect, outbreaks were not reported...

In 2005, OzFoodNet sites recorded 25,779 notifications of seven potentially foodborne diseases, which was 12.5 per cent higher than the mean for the previous five years. Diseases with significant increases in 2005, when compared to historical reports include: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, shigellosis, haemolytic uraemic syndrome, salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis. The most signific...

Bacterial intestinal infections are one of the main diseases in pigs different ages. pig digestive tract lead to significant economic losses due high mortality, reduced growth, treatment and prevention costs.&#x0D; The bacterial anaerobic enterotoxemia (clostridiosis), colibacillosis, salmonellosis, dysentery, proliferative enteropathy (ileitis).&#x0D; Anaerobic is an acute toxic-infectious dis...
