Salmonellosis (non-typhi, non-paratyphi)

Zoonotic diseases: progress has stalled

Cases of salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis have remained stable over the past five years, although listeriosis is on the rise. In 2017, there was an average of 100 food- and waterborne outbreaks per week.

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.
