Salmonella enterica espeziearen andui monofasikoen karakterizazio molekularra eta epidemiologikoa

Abstract

Salmonellosis, is one of the most common food-poisoning disease caused by bacteria of the genus Salmonella in developed countries. More than 2,500 serotypes of Salmonella enterica species are described today, but a few serotypes have been received a harbor epidemiological monitoring. On the first decade of the 21th century, thanks to advances in molecular biology techniques, the Spanish National Center of Microbiology detected an emergence and increase of monophasic variants of Salmonella enterica. Typification methods allow us the analysis and characterization of 4 monophasic variants. As a result, it has been possible to determine their evolutionary origin and provide epidemiological markers designed for their detection, monitoring and control to facilitate the work in epidemiology of the health authorities.
