Multi locus variable-number tandem repeat (MLVA) typing tools improved the surveillance of Salmonella enteritidis Institute of Tropical Medicine KU Leuven
Surveillance of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is generally considered to benefit from molecular techniques like multiple-locus variable-number of tandem repeats analysis (MLVA), which allow early detection and confinement of outbreaks. Here, a surveillance study, including phage typing, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and MLVA on 1,535 S. Enteritidis isolates collected between 2007 and 2012, was used to evaluate ...
Invasive Salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium infections, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2007-2011 Institute of Tropical Medicine
Infection with Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium sequence type (ST) 313 is associated with high rates of drug resistance, bloodstream infections, and death. To determine whether ST313 is dominant in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we studied 180 isolates collected during 2007-2011; 96% belonged to CRISPOL type CT28, which is associated with ST313.
A European outbreak of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium definitive phage type 204b in 2000 Institute of Tropical Medicine
OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical, epidemiologic and microbiological features of a large outbreak of infection with a multiresistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium definitive type DT204b infection involving at least 392 people in five European countries.
METHODS: Icelandic public-health doctors responded to a report on an Internet news site of an outbreak of infection with a multiresistant strain of Typhimurium DT104 in ...
Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis phage type 4b outbreak associated with bean sprouts Institute of Tropical Medicine
In November 2000 in the Netherlands, an outbreak of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis phage type 4b was investigated. Eating bean sprouts was the only exposure associated with S. Enteritidis pt 4b infection (matched odds ratio 13.0, 95% confidence interval 2.0-552.5). Contaminated seeds were the most likely cause of contamination of the sprouts. The sprout grower applied a concentration of hypochlorite solution that was too low for ...
