Euro Surveill. 2008 Aug 28;13(35). pii: 18963.
On 5 August 2008, the National Reference Laboratory of Salmonella (NRLS) noted an increase in the number of isolates of Salmonella enterica serotype Kedougou. As of 22 August, 29 isolates have been reported during 2008, which is ten times more than the average number of isolates identified by the NRLS during 2002-2007. All isolates have a typical, indistinguishable Pulse Field pattern (SALKEDXB-1, Spanish code) and are fully sensitive to the standard suite of antimicrobials.
