“…In the United States, nontyphoid Salmonella serotypes affect approximately 2 million to 3 million persons and cause 500 to 2000 deaths each year (5). In 2000, the two most common serotypes isolated from human sources were S. enterica serotype Typhimurium and S. enterica serotype Enteritidis (Table 1) (24).…”

“…For many years, Salmonella has been recognised as one of the most important foodborne pathogens [1,2,32] causing more than 10 000 human infections in Belgium yearly [25]. Besides eggs and poultry meat, pork is one of the most important sources of human infection [21,36].…”

Salmonella in sows: a longitudinal study in farrow-to-finish pig herds

-Besides finishing pigs, sows are also believed to be important in the epidemiology of Salmonella. The study objective was to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella excretion in sows during an entire reproductive cycle. In 3 farrow-to-finish herds, groups of 34, 40 and 32 sows, respectively, were sampled serially. Faecal samples, environmental swabs and feed samples were taken and submitted to a qualitative Salmonella isolation. All isolates were characterised using RAPD and a representative number of isolates was serotyped. The prevalence of Salmonella excretion was < 10% during gestation, around farrowing and during lactation, but a significant increase in the number of Salmonella excreting sows was found in herds A (p < 0.01) and C (p = 0.02) after weaning. S. Infantis was the most prevalent serotype in herd A, S. Derby in herds B and C. Except for the S. Infantis group in herd A, all isolates within each group of the RAPD analysis belonged to the same serotype. Three sows in herd A and 1 sow in herd C shed different serotypes at different time points. The present results indicate that sows can maintain Salmonella infections in farrow-to-finish herds and that culled sows, leaving the herd after weaning, may constitute a substantial risk for contamination of their carcasses with Salmonella.

“…The current research findings indicated that these beverage containers have the potential to be exposed to a variety of infectious and environmental agents ranging from E. Coli (Escherichiacoli), Salmonella and Hantavirus to environmental air borne contaminants, such as lead and Arsenic [6]. Based on research literature reviewed, three common findings were derived from the reference sources.…”

“…Studies have shown that infectious agents ranging from E.Coli (Escherichia coli), Salmonella and Hanta virus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus and spore forming Bacillus species to environmental airborne contaminants, such as lead and Arsenic exist in the general environment and available in and around food preparation, handling storage and eating locations. Specific studies have provided actual data that food and beverage can surfaces do contain known pathogens associated with foodborne illness [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Although, once beverage containers leave the manufacturer or distributor's control, contamination can easily occur from various biological or environmental sources from improper storage or use. Biological contaminants, upto and including infectious agents that can range from E. Coli (Escherichiacoli), Salmonella and Hanta virus associated from in sector rodent droppings to environmental air borne contaminants, such as lead and Arsenic have been found on various food and beverage products [5,6].…”
