Epidemiology of Infant Salmonellosis in the United States, 1996-2008: A Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network Study

Abstract

Black infants had a greater risk of salmonellosis and invasive disease than other racial groups, and despite the greatest decrease in incidence over the study period, they continued to have the highest incidence of salmonellosis. The decrease in salmonellosis in black infants suggests that future improvements may be possible for other population subgroups.
