A Review of Salmonellosis on Poultry Farms: Public Health Importance
Salmonella spp. is a bacterial causative agent that can cause salmonellosis in
humans and animals. Salmonellosis is categorized as an important zoonotic
disease in public health. Infection can be acquired by direct contact and
indirect contact with animals. Indirect transmission can occur through contact
with the environment around animals or with contaminated objects around
poultry farms. Salmonella in humans, which is an infectious disease, has three
types of infections, namely typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and non-typhoid
Salmonella (NTS). Typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever are caused by S. typhi
and S. enterica serovar Paratyphi (S. paratyphi), in contrast, S.typhimurium,
S. enteritidis, Salmonella enterica serovar newport (S. newport), and
Salmonella enterica serovar heidelberg (S. heildeberg) causes non-typhoid
Salmonella infection. The distribution of Salmonella is very widespread and
persistent in dry environments but can persist in water for up to several
months. In poultry, Salmonella can cause clinical disease or subclinical
infection in asymptomatic animals which are often referred to as carriers.
Infectious disease control in poultry farms always uses antibiotics. High
antibiotic use can lead to increased antibiotic resistance. Raising awareness is
critical to limiting the inappropriate use of antibiotic
