ABSTRACT
Salmonellosis is a major cause of gastroenteritis in the United States and can lead to septicaemia, and other extra-intestinal illness including urinary tract infections (UTIs). To examine trends in Salmonella bacteriuria in the United States, surveillance data from the National Salmonella Surveillance System from 1980 to the end of 1999 were reviewed. Overall, 17442 urinary Salmonella isolates were reported, representing 2% of all Salmonella isolates from a known source. This proportion increased from 2% during 1980--1984 to 4% during 1995--1999. The median age of persons from whom these isolates came was 51 years; 12,176 (70 %) were women. Compared to the last national survey conducted between 1968 and 1979, the rate of Salmonella bacteriuria increased among women, from 2.0 per million persons in 1980 to 3.7 in 1999; the highest rate occurring in women > or = 70 years. National reporting of Salmonella bacteriuria increased in absolute incidence and as a proportion of all Salmonella, especially in elderly women and may represent an increase in the incidence of Salmonella UTIs. Better understanding of the uropathogenicity of Salmonella serotypes may further clarify the mechanisms of Salmonella UTIs.
