“…Salmonellosis in cancer patients is associated with considerable excess mortality [10]. On the basis of our observations and previous reports [7, 11, 12], we suggest that routine stool cultures, in addition to testing for C. difficile toxin, be routinely performed in all neutropenic patients with nosocomial diarrhea. Furthermore, screening for Salmonella carriage of patients awaiting high‐dose chemotherapy may be appropriate, depending on the local frequency of asymptomatic Salmonella carriage.…”

“…In the area served by our laboratory, S. derby accounts for only 0.35% of all human Salmonella isolates. However, this species has been involved in an epidemic of nosocomial infection in the northeastern USA [7] and has previously been found to cause salmonellosis in patients with neoplastic disease with unexpected frequency [8].…”

“…Consumption of these contaminated foods may cause food poisoning, which is particularly dangerous for susceptible persons such as young children, elderly people and immunosuppressed patients. In this study, important clinical Salmonella serotypes, such as Agona, Enteritidis, Derby, Infantis and Senftenberg that have been reported in many foodborne outbreaks (Sanders et al. 1963; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1996; Dieckmann et al.…”

Salmonella enterica isolates recovered from stool samples of healthy food handlers in two hospital dining halls in Beijing, China were characterized by serotyping, susceptibility to 15 antimicrobials and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Our data showed that 9.5% (29/305) of food handlers in these two dining halls were Salmonella carriers. Twenty-nine isolates were grouped into five serotypes including Agona, Derby, Enteritidis, Infantis and Senftenberg. All six Enteritidis isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid and tetracycline. Identical PFGE patterns were identified from food handlers in the same dining hall that indicated the possible transmission of Salmonella among food handlers and to customers. Our findings underscore the importance of food hygiene education and regular health examination among food handlers in dining halls in China.

“…Infections caused by gram-negative organisms have been of interest for several years. Crossinfections with salmonellae have been known to occur in hospitals (8,23), and several outbreaks of nosocomical infantile gastroenteritis due to enteropathogenic E. coli have been reported (20,22). Laurell (10) isolated E. coil from air-and floor-dust samples collected within a hospital treating infants and children admitted for gastroenteritis.…”
