“…enterica serotype 4,5,12:i-monophasic is a common cause of food-borne illness in Spain and is believed to be associated with contaminated pork (Echeita et al, 1999;Astorga, et al, 2007). This serotype has also been found to be a cause of food-borne illnesses in New York, New York, USA, and in Luxembourg (Agasan et al, 2002;Anavisit et al, 2005;Mossong et al, 2007). The isolates in all of these outbreaks differed from the 4,5,12:i-monophasic isolates in this study as they all demonstrated resistance to multiple antibiotics.…”

“…The Spanish isolates were DT U302 (Astorga et al, 2007). The Luxembourg isolates were DT 193, giving them the same determinate type as the common S. enterica serotype 4,5,12:imonophasic isolates from the Cattle Egrets (Mossong et al, 2007). Although the Cattle Egret 4,5,12:i-monophasic isolates are distinguishable by antibiotic resistance patterns or determinate type from those causing disease in people, the chick-infection trials suggest that they are potential zoonotic pathogens.…”

ABSTRACT:Cattle Egrets have a worldwide distribution, feed in proximity to cattle and other domestic animals, and often nest in large colonies in urban woodlots. Over a 3-yr period, nestlings from five Cattle Egret colonies from Central Texas, USA, were surveyed for salmonellosis. Prevalence of infection ranged from 29% to 95%. Seventeen Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotypes were isolated, of which the 4,5,12:i-monophasic serotype predominated in cultures of both the digestive tract and pooled spleen and liver. Of 11 4,5,12:i-monophasic isolates phage typed, eight were determinate type 193. The 4,5,12:i-monophasic isolates were susceptible to all antibiotics tested and were highly invasive in the day-old chick infection model. Microscopic lesions were found in the livers of Cattle Egrets with systemic infections with the 4,5,12:imonophasic serotype, suggesting that infections with this serotype may often be fatal. Twenty-nine serotypes were identified in 179 S. enterica subsp. enterica isolates from horses admitted to the Texas A&M University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in 2 yr following the Cattle Egret study. The 4,5,12:i-monophasic serotype was not isolated from horses, but 12 serotypes were isolated from both horses and Cattle Egrets. The temporal distribution of the horse cases suggested that Cattle Egrets and horses may be exposed to similar sources of Salmonella, but provided no evidence of transmission between these two species. Similar conclusions were drawn when Cattle Egret isolates were compared to isolates from feedlot and dairy cattle from Texas and surrounding states. Given that the Cattle Egret 4,5,12:i-monophasic serotype was highly invasive and other isolates of this serotype have been associated with food poisoning, it is likely that Cattle Egret colonies pose a health risk to humans living near them.

“…Monophasic S. Typhimurium strains have been reported from pigs, cattle, poultry and humans (de la Torre et al 2003;Sorensen et al, 2002;Zamperini et al 2007). There have been food-borne outbreaks involving this strain in humans in MSs and non-European countries (Agasan et al 2002;Tavechio et al 2004;Amavisit et al 2005;Mossong et al 2007). The strain was also commonly reported in the EU-wide baseline surveys of slaughter and breeding pigs that were carried out in 2006until 2008(EFSA, 2008EFSA 2009c).…”

A European Union‐wide baseline survey on Campylobacter in broiler batches and on Campylobacter and Salmonella on broiler carcasses was carried out in 2008. A total of 10,132 broiler batches were sampled from 561 slaughterhouses in 26 European Union Member States and two countries not belonging to the European Union. From each randomly selected batch the caecal contents of 10 slaughtered broilers were collected, pooled and examined for Campylobacter. From the same batch one carcass was collected after chilling and the neck skin together with the breast skin was examined for the presence of Campylobacter and Salmonella, in addition to the determination of the Campylobacter counts. Campylobacter was detected in pooled caecal contents of broilers and on broiler carcasses in all participating countries. At Community level the prevalence of Campylobacter‐colonised broiler batches was 71.2% and that of Campylobacter‐contaminated broiler carcasses was 75.8%. The Member State prevalence varied from 2.0% to 100.0% and from 4.9% to 100.0%, for caecal contents and carcasses, respectively. The results of the counts of Campylobacter on broiler carcasses showed substantial variation among the countries in contamination levels. About two‐thirds of the Campylobacter isolates from the pooled caecal contents as well as from the broiler carcasses were identified as Campylobacter jejuni, while one‐third was Campylobacter coli. Twenty‐two Member States and one non‐Member State isolated Salmonella on the broiler carcasses, with a Community prevalence of 15.6%. This prevalence varied widely among the Member States, from 0.0% to 26.6%. However, one Member State had an exceptionally high prevalence of 85.6% with the majority of isolates being S. Infantis. The Community prevalence of Salmonella Enteritidis or Salmonella Typhimurium‐contaminated broiler carcasses was 3.6%. Salmonella Infantis and Salmonella Enteritidis were the two most frequently isolated serovars on broiler carcasses in the EU and accounted for about one‐third and one‐sixth of the Salmonella isolates, respectively.

“…Monophasic S. Typhimurium has been considered a new pandemic strain of Salmonella in Europe, typically showing resistance to four antimicrobials (ampicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides and tetracyclines) (Mossong et al, 2007;Hopkins et al, 2010). Many isolates are genetically related and, of definitive phage types, DT120 or DT193 and have been detected in several European countries, with pigs considered the likely reservoir of infection.…”

The antimicrobial resistance data on zoonotic and indicator bacteria in 2010, submitted by 26 European Union Member States, were jointly analysed by the European Food Safety Authority and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Data covered resistance in zoonotic Salmonella and Campylobacter from humans, food and animals, and in indicator Escherichia coli and enterococci from animals and food. Some data on meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in animals and food were also included. In isolates from humans, resistance was mainly interpreted using clinical breakpoints, whereas in animal and food isolates, microbiological resistance was defined using epidemiological cut-off values. No major changes in resistance in monitored bacteria were observed compared with previous years. Resistance was commonly found in isolates from humans, animals and food, although disparities in resistance were frequently observed between Member States. High resistance levels were recorded to ampicillin, tetracyclines and sulfonamides in Salmonella isolates from humans, whereas resistance to third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones remained low. In Salmonella and indicator E. coli isolates from fowl, pigs, cattle and meat thereof, resistance to tetracyclines, ampicillin and sulfonamides was also commonly detected, whereas resistance to third-generation cephalosporins was low. Moderate to high levels of ciprofloxacin (a fluoroquinolone) resistance were observed in Salmonella isolates from turkeys, fowl and broiler meat. In Campylobacter isolates from human cases, resistance to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid and tetracyclines was high, while resistance to erythromycin was recorded at low to moderate levels. High resistance to ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid and tetracyclines was also observed in Campylobacter isolates from fowl, broiler meat, pigs and cattle, whereas much lower levels were observed for erythromycin and gentamicin. Among the indicator enterococci isolates from animals and food, resistance to tetracyclines and erythromycin was commonly detected. Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was detected in some animal species and food of animal origin. mission is to identify, assess and communicate current and emerging threats to human health posed by infectious diseases. In order to achieve this mission, ECDC works in partnership with national public health bodies across Europe to strengthen and develop EU-wide disease surveillance and early warning systems. By working with experts throughout Europe, ECDC pools Europe's knowledge in health so as to develop authoritative scientific opinions about the risks posed by current and emerging infectious diseases.
