Hypothesis
Human-to-bovine transmission of Salmonella infections may occur regularly.
Conclusion
Increased emphasis on Salmonella infection control could help reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms.
Supporting Evidence
- Thousands of cases of bovine Taenia saginata cysticercosis occurred before and during the spread of MR-DT104.
- Human-to-animal transmission of enteropathogenic agents is confirmed in the United States.
- Controlling Salmonella infections is essential to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant strains.
Takeaway
People can get sick from Salmonella when they travel, and it can spread from humans to cows, so we need to be careful about infections.
