The serotyping and phage typing schemes that have been developed have enabled microbiologists to differentiate between thousands of Salmonella strains with widely varying natural histories, which helps to identify the source of infections 1 . Epidemiological and microbiological investigations have demonstrated that poultry and eggs are the main source for the most important disease-causing strains of S. Enteritidis. Outbreaks of infection are most commonly associated with the consumption of poultry and eggs. In 2005, there was a marked decline in the number of outbreaks of S. Enteritidis (non PT4) associated with catering establishments in England and Wales, which followed a decline in the purchasing of non-UK eggs by the catering sector 1 . Strains of S. Typhimurium have been found to be associated with the consumption of a variety of foods including beef, dairy produce, pork, lamb, chicken and turkey. A range of vehicles of infection has been found to be associated with the other serotypes of Salmonella. Most are of animal origin, however a wide variety of spices, herbs and other produce have also been implicated in general outbreaks of infection 1 . 1 Data sourced from Zoonoses Report UK – available via http://defraweb/animalh/diseases/zoonoses/zoonoses_reports/zoonoses2005.pdf 10
4.2 VTEC O157 Vero cytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) have emerged in the last 25 years as a group of pathogens of worldwide importance. The number of laboratory confirmed cases of VTEC O157 infection in the UK rose by 25% from 926 in 2004 to 1155 in 2005. However, overall the general trend has been stable in the last few years (see Figure 3) 1 . Figure 3. Laboratory reports of VTEC 0157 in people, UK 1987 – 2005. The main reservoir of VTEC O157 in livestock is ruminants, particularly cattle, sheep and goats but the organism has been found in faeces from a wide range of animals including horses, pigs, dogs, domestic geese and wild rabbits. Information from outbreak surveillance in the UK demonstrates that VTEC O157 infection can be transmitted via consumption of contaminated food or water; person to person spread; contact with livestock; and environmental exposure 1 . 4.3 Campylobacter The number of laboratory confirmed cases reached a peak of 65,209 cases in 1998. Since then there has been a general decline in disease incidence. However between 2004 and 2005 the number of reported cases of campylobacteriosis in the UK again rose from 47,466 to 49,803 (see figure 4) 1 . 1 Data sourced from Zoonoses Report UK – available via http://defraweb/animalh/diseases/zoonoses/zoonoses_reports/zoonoses2005.pdf 11
