“…The bacteria are isolated more frequently from blood, bone marrow, and vascular lesions than from faeces [98,103]. Infection may also be complicated by pneumonia, arthritis, aortitis, and endocarditis [104][105][106].…”

Host adapted serotypes of Salmonella enterica

Salmonella constitutes a genus of zoonotic bacteria of worldwide economic and health importance. The current view of salmonella taxonomy assigns the members of this genus to two species: S. enterica and S. bongori. S. enterica itself is divided into six subspecies, enterica, salamae, arizonae, diarizonae, indica, and houtenae, also known as subspecies I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IV, and VI, respectively [1]. Members of Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica are mainly associated with warm-blooded vertebrates and are usually transmitted by ingestion of food or water contaminated by infected faeces. The pathogenicity of most of the distinct serotypes remains undefined, and even within the most common serotypes, many questions remain to be answered regarding the interactions between the organism and the infected host.Salmonellosis manifests itself in three major forms: enteritis, septicaemia, and abortion, each of which may be present singly or in combination, depending on both the serotype and the host involved. Although currently over 2300 serovars of Salmonella are recognized, only about 50 serotypes are isolated in any significant numbers as human or animal pathogens [2, 3] and they all belong to subspecies enterica. Of these, most cause acute gastroenteritis characterized by a short incubation period and a severe systemic disease in man or animals, characterized by septicaemia, fever and/or abortion, and such serotypes are often associated with one or few host species [4–6].It is the intention of this review to present a summary of current knowledge of these host-adapted serotypes of S. enterica. The taxonomic relationships between the serotypes will be discussed together with a comparison of the pathology and pathogenesis of the disease that they cause in their natural host(s). Since much of our knowledge on salmonellosis is based on the results of work on Typhimurium, this serotype will often be used as the baseline in discussion. It is hoped that an appreciation of the differences that exist in the way these serotypes interact with the host will lead to a greater understanding of the complex host–parasite relationship that characterizes salmonella infections.

“…Children with certain underlying conditions are at increased risk of bacteremia, which may lead to extraintestinal focal infections. Such conditions include very young age (babies), AIDS, malignancies, immunosuppressive therapy, hemolytic anemia, and inflammatory bowel disease (29,32,39,129). Nontyphoid Salmonella bacteremia is even more serious in adult patients with underlying diseases; these patients are more likely to develop focal infections such as meningitis, septic arthritis, and osteomyelitis.…”

“…It is also important to search for endovascular abnormalities by using imaging techniques in older patients with or without evidence of atherosclerosis. Although there is no consensus on the optimal duration of postoperative antibiotic therapy for endovascular infections caused by Salmonella, most investigators still recommend a minimum of 6 weeks (3,39,40,150). The duration of therapy for other extraintestinal infections should be considered based on the site of infection.…”

Cohen et al (1987) estudaram os sintomas ocasionados pela infecção não entérica por Salmonella spp. em humanos e foi constatado que somente 1,4% (12/700) dos pacientes apresentava manifestação inflamatória em testículos e epidídimos.…”

 RESUMOO objetivo deste artigo é relatar um caso de orquiepididimite associado com infecção por Salmonella enterica subespécie diarizonae em carneiro da raça Santa Inês de quatro anos de idade, vasectomizado. Ao exame clínico reprodutivo, o animal mostrou aumento severo do conteúdo escrotal, sendo o testículo direito maior do que o esquerdo e a cauda do epidídimo direita maior do que a esquerda. A consistência testicular, avaliada em escala de 1 a 5, foi 5 para o testículo direito e 2,5 para o esquerdo; o órgão apresentava-se muito sensível ao toque. Na ultrassonografia foram observadas estruturas anecoicas/hipoecoicas circulares na cauda do epidídimo, sugestivas de abscessos; alguns pontos hiperecogênicos no parênquima testicular, sugerindo lesões de calcificação; e todo o testículo direito rodeado por imagem hipoecoica, indicativa de edema. Uma das estruturas da cauda do epidídimo direita foi puncionada, encontrando-se exsudato purulento, o qual foi enviado para exame microbiológico, sendo isolada e identificada Salmonella enterica subespécie diarizonae. O carneiro foi submetido a orquiepididectomia, e o órgão foi caracterizado macroscopicamente por adesões fibrosas entre as camadas escrotais, coexistência de abscessos epididimários e degeneração testicular. A Salmonella enterica subespécie diarizonae deve ser considerada no diagnóstico diferencial de infecção genital em ovinos.Palavras-chave: epididimite, orquite, patologia, infecção, ovino ABSTRACT The objective of this manuscript was to report a case of orchiepididymitis associated with Salmonella enterica subespécie diarizonae infection in a vasectomized 4-year-old
