A rapid monitoring assay for the detection of Salmonella spp. and Salmonella Senftenberg strain W775 in composts Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The composting process needs to be validated for its hygienic status in order to ensure that it is free of pathogens. Generally, this is evaluated through temperature monitoring, or additionally through active inoculation and monitoring of indicator organisms. We aimed to develop a monitoring method for the heat-resistant indicator organism Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovar Senftenberg strain W775 for detection in composting biowastes.

Non-typhoidal Salmonella bloodstream infections in Kisantu, DR Congo: emergence of O5-negative Salmonella Typhimurium and extensive drug resistance Institute of Tropical Medicine University of Antwerp KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are a major cause of bloodstream infection (BSI) in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to assess its longitudinal evolution as cause of BSI, its serotype distribution and its antibiotic resistance pattern in Kisantu, DR Congo.
METHODS: As part of a national surveillance network, blood cultures were sampled in patients with suspected BSI admitted to Kisantu referral hospital from 2015-2017. ...
Intestinal carriage of invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella among household members of children with Salmonella bloodstream infection, Kisangani, DR Congo KU Leuven Institute of Tropical Medicine
INTRODUCTION: Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS), mainly Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis, causes a severe burden in sub-Saharan Africa; however, its reservoir (animal or environmental) is unclear. The present study assessed healthy household members of index patients for intestinal carriage of Salmonella. METHODS: Index patients were admitted to the University Hospital of Kisangani (DR Congo), and Salmonella was grown ...
