Salmonellosis (non-typhi, non-paratyphi)

Salmonella the most common cause of foodborne outbreaks

In 2018, nearly one in three foodborne outbreaks in the EU were caused by Salmonella. West Nile virus and STEC infections were reported at unusually high levels.

ECDC-EFSA zoonoses report

Salmonella Poona - infant formula

In March 2019, the outbreak of Salmonella Poona cases affecting France (30 cases), Belgium (1) and Luxembourg (1) was linked to infant formula products based on rice proteins.

ECDC-EFSA risk assessment

Just the tip of the iceberg

Reported numbers of Salmonella and Campylobacter infections are much lower than the actual numbers. The seroincidence tool helps calculate the real burden of Salmonella and Campylobacter infections in humans

Microbiology

Antimicrobial resistance

Multi-drug resistant Salmonella bacteria continue to spread across Europe, show the latest data on resistance in bacteria in humans, food and animals issued by ECDC and EFSA.

Facts

Enteric infections due to Salmonella bacteria are generally referred to by the term ‘salmonellosis’ when they are due to Salmonella species other than Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi.
