Background: As a producer of gastro-enteritis and other symptoms, Salmonella spp. Remains an important problem for world public health. Epidemiological knowledge at both general and local level by means of serotypification is considered one of the fundamental aspects for its control.
Material And Method: We studied 15.181 stool samples, and the others specimens. Isolation using the usual routine media, agar MacConkey, Salmonella-Shigella, selenito F. Identification using the automated Microscan and wider I method, serotypification with multi-purpose and monospecific serums (Difco), and confirmation of Salmonella and Shigella by the National Reference Laboratory, from the LNRSSE.
Results: Although 96.6% of Salmonella spp. Is detected in cultures of faeces and blood, it is also noted in LCR, sputum, rectal biopsy and vaginal secretions among other sites. In total of 1290 patients, 37 different serotypes were isolated, the most frequent of which were Enteritidis and Typhimurium. The presence of Virchow, isolated in both faeces and LCR, was notable in the years 94-99, as was as the presence of less typical serotypes, such as Blockley, London, Give and Mikawasima, among others.

Introduction: Non-typhoidal (NTS) are leading bacterial agents of foodborne illnesses and a global concern for human health. While there are over 2,600 different serovars of NTS, epidemiological data suggests that certain serovars are better at causing disease than others, resulting in the majority of reported human illnesses in the United States. To improve food safety, there is a need to rapidly detect these more pathogenic serovars to facilitate their removal from the food supply.

Background: The clinical outcomes and microbiological features of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) and classical Klebsiella pneumoniae (cKp) have not been well understood.
Methods: This study collected 287 non-repetitive Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from 287 LRTI patients. All these strains underwent annotation for resistance and virulence factors, with 141 strains undergoing mouse infection experiments to assess their virulence.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a highly contagious, economically important disease of livestock and wildlife species. Active monitoring and understanding the epidemiology of FMDV underpin the foundations of control programmes. In many endemic areas, however, veterinary resources are limited, resulting in a requirement for simple sampling techniques to increase and supplement surveillance efforts.
