“…Antimicrobial resistance in NTS has increased in recent years worldwide, due to the widespread use of antimicrobial drugs in human and veterinary sectors, and poses an on-going threat to global public health [118,119,120,121]. The incidence of resistance to traditional antibiotics (e.g., ampicillin, tetracycline and streptomycin) is evident to be high in Salmonella isolates from foods of animal origin, especially poultry, in EMR countries [86,87,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120]. This finding is highly concerning from a public health perspective, as many of these traditional (1st generation) antibiotics are still widely prescribed to treat diarrhoea in children and adults due to their low cost and availability in developing countries, including countries of the EMR [121,122].…”

Diarrhoeal disease is still one of the most challenging issues for health in many countries across the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR), with infectious diarrhoea being an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in children under five years of age. However, the understanding of the aetiological spectrum and the burden of enteric pathogens involved in diarrhoeal disease in the EMR is incomplete. Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS), the focus of this review, is one of the most frequently reported bacterial aetiologies in diarrhoeal disease in the EMR. Strains of NTS with resistance to antimicrobial drugs are increasingly reported in both developed and developing countries. In the EMR, it is now widely accepted that many such resistant strains are zoonotic in origin and acquire their resistance in the food-animal host before onward transmission to humans through the food chain. Here, we review epidemiological and microbiological aspects of diarrhoeal diseases among children in the EMR, with emphasis on the implication and burden of NTS. We collate evidence from studies across the EMR on the zoonotic exposure and antimicrobial resistance in NTS at the interface between human and foods of animal origin. This review adds to our understanding of the global epidemiology of Salmonella with emphasis on the current situation in the EMR.
