Abstract:
Salmonellosis is one of the common food-borne diseases, local and cross-region outbreaks are not rare. The risk of cross-border transmission of Salmonella is increasing with the high frequency of global economic trades. The recently occurred multi-country outbreaks of Salmonella Typhimurium infection associated with chocolate products have highlighted the importance of improving capability of surveillance and warning of foodborne-disease, especially salmonellosis, in China. It is essential to strengthen the collaboration among clinical medicine, disease control and food safety institutions, improve the capability of whole-genome sequencing of Salmonella for the disease surveillance and tracing, and facilitate the information sharing and collaboration among the food safety related sectors for the timely detection, prevention and control of outbreaks of Salmonella infection in China.
