[ 21 ] From India, cases of food poisoning[ 22 ] neonatal sepsis,[ 23 ] surgical site infection like postcholecystectomy[ 24 ] have been reported. In our study, we have isolated three cases of Salmonella weltevreden from blood of SLE patients on steroids.…”

BACKGROUND: Infection with Salmonella has become an increasing problem worldwide. Recently, nontyphoid Salmonella (NTS) has become a global concern causing threat to the health of human. It causes gastrointestinal infection which may be self-limiting, but invasive infections may be fatal, requiring appropriate therapy. This study was done to analyze the spectrum of NTS infections causing extraintestinal infections and its susceptibility pattern from a tertiary care center in India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The medical records of 27 patients whose cultures were positive for NTS between the years 2013–2016 were included in this retrospective study. The relevant demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were analyzed. RESULTS: Among the 27 patients, predominant patients were in the age group of 20–30 years. The male to female ratio is 1.7:1. Salmonella typhimurium was the predominant NTS isolated among 15/27 (55.5%), followed by Salmonella enteritidis 4/27 (14.8%). 18/27 (66.6%) of NTS were isolated from blood. Nalidixic acid was sensitive in 2/15 of S. typhimurium, 2/4 of S. enteritidis and 1/3 of Salmonella weltevreden, while others are nalidixic acid-resistant implying resistance to quinolones. They were sensitive to other antibiotics reported. CONCLUSION: This study highlights the spectrum of NTS causing extraintestinal infections which is an emerging infection occurring mostly in immunosuppressed individuals. There should be a high degree of clinical suspicion which would help in the early diagnosis and management of patients.

“…[4] Extensive studies were conducted regarding the surface structures, toxicity, mechanism of virulence and molecular aspects of S. Weltevreden by various workers. [5,6] Pathogenicity of S.Weltevreden from the Indian Subcontinent is confined to the occasional reports in the medical literature [7][8][9] The available data does not provide a true index of regional distribution of this organism in the recent past. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second documented report of human infection due to S.Weltevreden from Karnataka State, the first one being, a report from Hubli, regarding two cases of neonatal sepsis due to this organism.…”

An outbreak of food poisoning due to Salmonella enterica serotype Weltevreden ( S.weltevreden ) involving 34 students has been reported from a tertiary care hospital in Mangalore. The symptoms developed 8-10 hours, after consuming a non- vegetarian dish, probably fish, from an outside caterer. The identity of the organism was confirmed at Central Research Institute, Kasauli. This report emphasizes the geographical distribution of this organism in the Coastal Karnataka region. S.Weltevreden may be overlooked due to the biochemical similarity to S. Paratyphi B & S. Typhimurium.

Weltevreden involving many nursing students had been occurred in our institute due to a non vegetarian dish, in a get togthrer. 25 E Enteritidis is usually causing extra intestinal manifestations and reported as aetiological agents of Septic arthritis, 26 complicated Aortic aneurism, meningitis, 27 polyserositis, arthritis following trauma in a child with Thalassemia Major.…”

Non Typhoidal Salmonellae (NTS) is emerging as a major health problem. NTS serovars have a wide variety of host range varying from domestic animals, aquatic fauna, reptiles, arthropods, leafy vegetables and many more. This zoonotic infection manifests as self limited gastroenteritis associated with food poisoning to fatal extra intestinal invasive infections. In this overview, an attempt is made to compile the documented reports due to NTS from Indian subcontinent for the last 5 decades, searching the available databases. These reports emphasizes the role of NTS in diverse clinical infections and the possible links of transmission. Prophylactic measures such as adoption of quality measures in fish and meat processing units, vaccination of farm animals, serotyping of all NTS strains, above all health education and public awareness program should be made mandatory to minimize the incidence of NTS in our country.
