Investigating the Meat Pathway as a Source of Human Nontyphoidal <i>Salmonella</i> Bloodstream Infections and Diarrhea in East Africa

Abstract

Our findings suggest that the meat pathway may be an important source of human infection with some clades of Salmonella Enteritidis ST11 in East Africa, but not of human infection by Salmonella Typhimurium ST313. Research is needed to systematically examine the contributions of other types of meat, animal products, produce, water, and the environment to nontyphoidal Salmonella disease in East Africa.
