Article Synopsis
- - Non-typhoidal infections are a major global health issue, prompting a study to analyze strains from human samples in central and southern Italy for epidemiological insights.
- - The research involved serotyping 150 strains, testing their antibiotic resistance using the disk diffusion method, and molecular characterization via PCR to detect virulence genes.
- - Eighteen serotypes were identified, with Typhimurium and Enteritidis being the most common; notable resistance rates were found for several antibiotics, indicating a concerning prevalence of resistant strains.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the gap in knowledge regarding rotavirus circulation in adults and the general population in Italy, despite the existence of a molecular surveillance network for children.
- During 2010-2011, researchers analyzed 285 sewage samples from four cities, detecting rotavirus in 60.4% of them, with a variety of genotypes identified, notably G1 and P[8].
- The findings indicate that certain genotypes, particularly G2, G9, and P[4], were more prevalent in wastewaters than in hospitalized pediatric patients, suggesting these strains might circulate widely in the general population or persist longer in the environment.
