Summary

In Germany, phage type 4 (PT4) Salmonella enteritidis predominated in 1990-91, accounting for 70.8% of isolates. This contrasts with North America, where PT8 is most common.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Epidemiology
  • Food Safety

Background:

  • Salmonella enteritidis is a significant foodborne pathogen.
  • Monitoring phage types is crucial for understanding epidemiological trends.
  • Previous data on S. enteritidis phage types in Germany was limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To monitor the epidemiological situation of Salmonella enteritidis in Germany.
  • To determine the prevalence of different phage types (PT) of S. enteritidis.
  • To compare German phage type distribution with other regions.

Main Methods:

  • Phage typing of 1138 Salmonella enteritidis isolates collected from over 180 locations in West Germany between 1990-1991.
  • Analysis of 1124 typeable strains representing 21 different phage types.

Main Results:

  • Phage type 4 (PT4) was the predominant phage type, isolated from 70.8% of strains.
  • Other epidemiologically relevant phage types included PT7 (7.2%), PT25 (6.1%), PT34 (5.1%), and PT8 (4.5%).
  • PT4 predominated in Germany, similar to other European countries, but was infrequent in North America where PT8 was most common.

Conclusions:

  • Phage type 4 is the dominant Salmonella enteritidis strain in Germany.
  • Geographical variations in S. enteritidis phage type prevalence exist, notably between Europe and North America.
  • Continued surveillance of phage types is essential for effective control strategies against Salmonella enteritidis.
