Animal-to-human transmission of Salmonella Typhimurium DT104A variant

Susan W M Hendriksen et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2004 Dec.

Abstract

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was isolated from a pig, a calf, and a child on a farm in the Netherlands. The isolates were indistinguishable by phenotyping and genotyping methods, which suggests nonfoodborne animal-to-animal and animal-to-human transmission. Persons in close contact with farm animals should be aware of this risk.
