“…On the other hand, as we collected only microbiologically proven infections, some mild and self‐resolving episodes of infections may have been undiagnosed because the patients did not seek medical attention. Despite a diagnostic bias towards enhanced testing in SOT recipients, we observed an incidence of Campylobacter infections 8‐40 times higher than the general population (19.6‐100 cases per 100 000 persons per year in the general population) . The proportion of HEV reflects the endemic situation in Switzerland (seroprevalence of 20% among blood donors) .…”

“…Among these infections, foodborne infections are frequent and may be caused by bacteria (including Campylobacter , Salmonella , Shigella , Vibrio , Escherichia coli , and Listeria ), viruses (such as hepatitis A [HAV] and E viruses [HEV] or norovirus) and parasites (including Giardia , Toxoplasma , or tapeworms) transmitted by specific food products . Foods considered particularly at risk include raw/undercooked meat, fish or seafood, eggs or egg products, unpasteurized milk or dairy products, and some raw vegetables.…”

Food‐safety measures are recommended in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. However, the actual adherence of patients in a real‐life setting and the impact on the incidence of foodborne infections remain largely unexplored. We performed a survey among SOT recipients followed at our institution, aiming to evaluate their food‐safety behavior. We assessed the incidence of microbiologically proven foodborne infections by chart review. One hundred ninety‐seven SOT recipients (kidney = 117, lung = 35, liver = 29, and heart = 16) participated in the survey. Overall, 17.7% of the participants observed all food‐safety recommendations (22.0% avoided food at risk of contamination while 67.9% applied hygiene recommendations). Patients within the first year after transplantation (odds ratio [OR] 5.42; P = .001) and females (OR 4.67; P = .001) followed food‐safety recommendations more closely. Although the majority of SOT recipients felt concerned and actively sought information on food safety (68%‐70%), only 27% were able to recognize all risks of foodborne infection in hypothetical scenarios. Incidence of proven foodborne infections was 17.9% (95% confidence interval 9.9%‐30.9%) 5 years after transplantation. Importantly, foodborne infections occurred exclusively among patients not following food‐safety recommendations. In summary, most SOT recipients eat foods that make them at risk of foodborne infections. Our results indicate that there is room for improvement in patient education, particularly later after transplantation, and reinforce current food‐safety recommendations.

“…In this study, NTS was the third common pathogen causing 10.3% of diarrhea and was the leading bacterial pathogen in outpatient children with diarrhea. Globally, NTS is an important pathogen of sporadic and outbreak foodborne gastroenteritis and children < 5 years are most susceptible, especially in developed countries (25,26). The annual prevalence of NTS during 2015-2018 was stable with S. typhimurium and S. enteritidis serovars remaining predominant.…”

Background Diarrhea is still a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. This hospital-based study aimed to monitor the consecutive epidemiological trend of etiology in children with acute diarrhea in Shanghai.Methods Outpatient children with diarrhea were prospectively enrolled within 7 days after onset of diarrheal symptoms during 2015-2018. Fresh stool samples were collected for testing enteropathogens. Enteric bacteria were identified and typed through culture and serotyping. Enteric viruses were identified through real-time PCR assay. hadResults Enteric pathogens were identified in 1572 (58.4%) of the 2692 enrolled children with acute diarrhea. Viruses were more frequently detected than bacteria (41.3% versus 25.0%), and co-infection with 2 or more pathogens was found in 13% of outpatients. Nontyphoidal Salmonella spp . (NTS) was the most common bacteria with 10.3% of isolate rate, followed by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) (6.5%), enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) (6.2%), Campylobacter spp . (3.6%), enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) (1.1%), Shigella spp . (0.2%), and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) (0.1%). Rotavirus was the most common virus with 16.0% of detection rate, followed by norovirus (15.5%), adenovirus (7.2%), sapovirus (3.0%) and astrovirus (2.7%).Conclusions Infectious diarrhea remains the major cause of diarrhea in children in Shanghai. Rotavirus, norovirus and NTS were the major enteric pathogens responsible for diarrhea in Shanghainese children. Improving uptake of rotavirus vaccine and strengthening prevention of foodborne pathogens will be helpful to reduce the burden of diarrheal diseases in children in Shanghai.

Vibrio sp. has been a major pathogen that resulted in difficult to treat infections, and greatly impacting the aquaculture industry. Thus, more effective approaches are needed to overcome this problem. Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces is a group of prolific producers for various bioactive compounds. Streptomyces species with antibacterial activity against Vibrio sp. have been reported from numerous studies, indicating that Streptomyces could be a good candidate for treatment of Vibrio infections. This review aims to provide an overview on the distribution of the Streptomyces with anti-Vibrio activity from diverse geographical locations. Furthermore, this review also highlighted that Streptomyces sp. can be a great source for anti-Vibrio agents to control vibriosis, such as in the aquaculture settings.
