The results were analyzed and interpreted by MB, PF and AB. SAG gave special attention to the antimicrobial
resistance aspect of data and the choice of control strains. FXW was responsible for the clinical isolates and performed some phage-typing assays. All the authors were involved in drafting or revising the manuscript. The authors read and approved the final manuscript.”
“Introduction Salmonella species are recognized as agents of illness and disease in both humans and animals with greater than 2000 serotypes recognized; the gastrointestinal tract of animals is considered the primary reservoir of the pathogen with human illness usually linked to exposure to contaminated animal-derived products such as meat or poultry [1, 2]. Annually in the US Salmonella is estimated to cause approximately 1 million illnesses, 19,000 hospitalizations and approximately 378 deaths [3].
