“…Investigation of outbreaks and sporadic cases has repeatedly indicated that, when a food vehicle is identified, the most common sources of S. Enteritidis infection are poultry and poultry derivatives, particularly, in the case of outbreaks, undercooked and raw eggs [35,41,65,74]. Although contamination of egg products with other Salmonella serotypes is a long-standing problem, that has been attributed either to the use of damaged eggs or to contamination at or after breaking, the situation with S. Enteritidis is different.…”

-Two major changes in the epidemiology of salmonellosis occurred in the second half of the 20th century: the emergence of food-borne human infections caused by S. Enteritidis and by multiple-antibiotic resistant strains of Salmonella. This review updates information on the S. Enteritidis pandemic and focuses on the emergence of Salmonella, carrying the SGI1 antibiotic resistance gene cluster, resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins, or resistant to fluoroquinolones. The factors responsible for the emergence of these Salmonella strains could be either of human origin or related to bacterial genome evolution. However, our increasing understanding of the molecular fluidity of the genome shows that any attempt to counteract bacteria results in further bacterial evolution or adaptation of other bacteria to take place in the new free ecological niche. In these conditions, we can ask who is faster: humans who want to eliminate bacterial pathogens or bacteria that continuously evolve to gain new niches.

“…Poultry products have proved important vehicles of infection, in particular poultry meat [2] and whole shell eggs [3,4] and the latter vehicle has provided a new dimension. Although not as common as PT 4, other S. enteritidis PTs have also been associated with poultry.…”

“…The number of reported cases of illness due to Salmonella enteritidispredominantly phage type 4 (PT4) -dramatically increased in the United Kingdom between 1984 and 1988 [1][2][3]. Common sources of S. enteritidis foodpoisoning outbreaks, in which attributable foods have been identified, are eggs and poultry [3].…”

SUMMARYThe effect of some factors on the growth of Salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 in artificially contaminated shell eggs was investigated.Salmonella enteritidis was found to be resistant to the antimicrobial properties of the albumen. Growth occurred on storage at 25 'C but not at 4 or 10 'C. The rate and extent of infection was influenced by the size of inoculum, the site of contamination relative to yolk movement, and the presence of iron in the inoculum.
