Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Salmonella were isolated from 106 (0.032%) of 331,644 fecal samples from food handlers, and from 144 of 11,478 fecal samples from symptomatic patients in Japan to determine the incidence and features of Salmonella serovars among food handlers. S. enterica subspecies enterica serovar Infantis (S. serovar Infantis) was the dominant serovar (accounting for 48.1%), followed by S. serovar Corvallis, which showed poor genetic diversity, and S. serovar Enteritidis among food handlers. The former two serovars were not dominant among symptomatic patients. The present study demonstrates the need for education on the sanitary handling of chicken eggs and chicken meat, which are possible infectious sources of these Salmonella serovars. |
