“…Serovars S. Newport, S. Derby and S. Kentucky replaced S. Stanley as 5-7th most commonly reported Salmonella serovars for the time after the S. Stanley outbreak linked to the turkey meat in several MS in 2011. Cases of S. Stanley peaked in 2012 and increased again in 2015, suggesting a continued circulation of the serovar in the food chain until 2016 (ECDC, 2015). S. Newport, the fifth in the top five among all cases, was replaced by S. Derby, among the cases acquired in the EU.…”

“…Other STEC serogroups identified included O113 (6.3% of the 144 strains with an identified serogroup), O103 (2.8%), O91 (2.8%), O111 (1.4%) and O145 (0.7%). These STEC serogroups are all among the 15 most commonly reported groups in human infections in the EU in the period 2013(EFSA and ECDC, 2015. The top five serogroups most commonly reported in foods were: O26 (0.1% of 17,364 samples tested and 5.1% of the positive specimens), O157 (0.07% of 17,364 samples tested and 3.2% of the positive specimens), O103 (0.02% of 17,364 samples tested), O111 (0.01%) and O145 (0.01%) (Table 17).…”

This report of the European Food Safety Authority and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control presents the results of the zoonoses monitoring activities carried out in 2016 in 37 European countries (28 Member States (MS) and nine non-MS). Campylobacteriosis was the most commonly reported zoonosis and the increasing European Union (EU) trend for confirmed human cases since 2008 stabilised during 2012-2016. In food, the occurrence of Campylobacter remained high in broiler meat. The decreasing EU trend for confirmed human salmonellosis cases since 2008 ended during 2012-2016, and the proportion of human Salmonella Enteritidis cases increased. Most MS met their Salmonella reduction targets for poultry, except five MS for laying hens. At primary production level, the EU-level flock prevalence of target Salmonella serovars in breeding hens, broilers, breeding and fattening turkeys decreased or stabilised compared with previous years but the EU prevalence of S. Enteritidis in laying hens significantly increased. In foodstuffs, the EU-level Salmonella non-compliance for minced meat and meat preparations from poultry was low. The number of human listeriosis confirmed cases further increased in 2016, despite the fact that Listeria seldom exceeds the EU food safety limit in ready-to-eat foods. The decreasing EU trend for confirmed yersiniosis cases since 2008 stabilised during 2012-2016, and also the number of confirmed Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections in humans was stable. In total, 4,786 food-borne outbreaks, including waterborne outbreaks, were reported. Salmonella was the most commonly detected causative agent -with one out of six outbreaks due to S. Enteritidis -followed by other bacteria, bacterial toxins and viruses. Salmonella in eggs continued to represent the highest risk agent/food combination. The report further summarises trends and sources for bovine tuberculosis, brucellosis, trichinellosis, echinococcosis, toxoplasmosis, rabies, Q fever, West Nile fever and tularaemia.
