Salmonella infections in Denmark from 2013 to 2022
A new study published in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases analyzed Salmonella infections in Denmark from 2013 to 2022, focusing on serotype distribution, invasiveness, age, sex, and travel exposure.
The most prevalent non-typhoid Salmonella (NTS) serotypes identified in Denmark during the study period (2013-2022) were as follows:
1. S. Enteritidis: Accounting for 26.4% of cases
2. Monophasic S. Typhimurium: Responsible for 16.5% of cases
3. S. Typhimurium: Contributing to 13.5% of cases
A total of 9,944 cases of Salmonella enterica subsp. Enterica were identified in Denmark, with an average annual incidence rate of 16.9 per 100,000 inhabitants.
These findings provide critical insights into the epidemiology of Salmonella infections in Denmark, including trends, prevalent serotypes, and risk factors associated with invasive illness
