Prevention
- Monitor every step of food production, from handling of raw products to preparation of finished foods.
- With the increasing prevalence of S. enteritidis in egg-laying hens, it is recommended that pasteurized eggs be used at all nursing homes, hospitals, and commercial food-service establishments.
- Transmission via contaminated eggs can be prevented by cooking so that the liquid yolk is solidified or through pasteurization.
- All cases of nontyphoidal salmonellosis should be reported to public health departments.
- Tracking and monitoring of these cases lead to identification of the sources of local outbreaks and anticipation of large-scale international outbreaks.
- Prudent use of antimicrobial agents in both humans and animals is necessary to minimize further emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains.
