Salmonella serovars from humans and other sources in Thailand, 1993-2002

Emerg Infect Dis. 2004 Jan;10(1):131-6. doi: 10.3201/eid1001.02-0781.

Abstract

We serotyped 44,087 Salmonella isolates from humans and 26,148 from other sources from 1993 through 2002. The most common serovar causing human salmonellosis in Thailand was Salmonella enterica Weltevreden. Serovars causing human infections in Thailand differ from those in other countries and seem to be related to Salmonella serovars in different food products and reservoirs.
