Non-typhoidal Salmonella bacteremia among adults: An adverse prognosis in patients with malignancy

Abstract

Malignancy is an adverse prognostic factor in patients with NTS bacteremia. Food safety in patients with malignancy should be emphasized to prevent salmonellosis.

Time to positivity in blood cultures of adults with nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteremia

“…30 However, another recent study in Taiwan showed an increasing proportion of serogroup D and a decreasing proportion of S. choleraesuis during a 10-year observation period. 8 S. choleraesuis has decreased in recent years, although it has been reported as a cause of invasive extraintestinal infections in the elderly, especially mycotic aneurysm. 31 In Taiwan, S. choleraesuis is also associated with greater antibiotic resistance, compared to serogroups B or D isolates.…”

Prevalence and antibiogram study of Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus in poultry meat

“…Amongst the foodborne pathogens, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) are the most common and frequent pathogens responsible for food poisoning and food related infections [4,5] . Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of enteric diseases in human and animal with millions of illness worldwide, whereas the nontyphoidal Salmonella species as a zoonotic agent are also predominantly associated with foodborne infections [2,6,7] . Salmonella species in foods of animal origin are most frequently considered to be associated with the foodborne pathogen outbreaks.…”

Salmonella as a biological “Trojan horse” for neoplasia: Future possibilities including brain cancer

“…While passive processes are apparently responsible for Salmonella accumulation in tumors [8], lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can still cause sepsis and endotoxic shock during bacterial migration to the tumor [9]. LPS causes sepsis by activating Toll-like receptors that promote the hyperinflammatory and vasodilatory effects underlying endotoxic shock [10].…”
