Area of Science:

  • Veterinary epidemiology
  • Food hygiene
  • Infectious disease epidemiology

Context:

  • Enteric Salmonella are a leading cause of bacterial diarrhea in Switzerland.
  • Reported cases have increased significantly since 1987.
  • Rising prevalence is observed globally, linked to food contamination.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the increasing prevalence of enteric Salmonella infections.
  • To identify sources of contamination, particularly in poultry and eggs.
  • To discuss implications for food handlers and treatment options.

Summary:

  • High contamination rates in poultry and eggs contribute to rising Salmonella prevalence.
  • Conventional egg preparation methods are insufficient to eliminate Salmonella.
