Salmonella infection remains a global public health issue, with numerous outbreaks reported worldwide, highlighting the need for improved prevention and control programs and infectious disease surveillance.
Acute diarrheal disease remains a major public health issue. Salmonella spp. infection is one of the leading causes of acute diarrheal disease despite the preventive measures implemented. The clinical picture of salmonellosis varies from a common gastroenteritis to enteric fevers which are life-threatening diseases requiring a prompt and correct antibiotic treatment. In this review we present recent salmonellosis outbreaks and point out that Salmonella infections continue to be an important health issue. Numerous outbreaks of Salmonella spp. have been reported worldwide in recent years, indicating that prevention and control programs need to be improved as well as the infectious diseases surveillance, all over the world.
