Salmonellosis - national and import
Salmonellas are widespread in the environment and in herds of productive animals. Most of them, except S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium, have a narrow host range. S. infantis is rarely isolated from farm animals In the Russian Federation. Despite this there are marked increase in the incidence of its infection in people. There is reason to assume that the number of salmonella serovars (including S. infantis) come into the country with imported food and raw materials.
