[Use of a databank for new salmonella primary findings and the value of registering salmonella isolations for salmonella supervision and control]. / Uber den Nutzen einer vollständigen Erfassung neuer Salmonella-Erstfunde und den Wert der Registrierung von Salmonella-Isolierungen für die Salmonella-Uberwachung und -Bekämpfung.

There are given a retrospect to the history of the Kauffmann-White scheme, its actual delivery to the laboratories, the sources of worth knowing statements on all Salmonella first isolations, and the further incidence throughout the world. By means of a statistic established comprising more than 3.9 millions of Salmonella strains isolated and registered in the period from 1934 to 1987 for each Salmonella serotype exact statements can be made concerning the frequency, the relative incidence in man, food animals, other animals, foods, feeds, water, and sundries, and the relative continental distribution.

[On the frequency of occurrence of salmonella species. An analysis of 1.5 millions trains of salmonellae isolated in 109 countries during the period 1934-1975 (author's transl)]. / Uber die Häufigkeit des Vorkommens der Salmonella-Species. Eine Untersuchung an 1,5 Millionen Salmonella-Kulturen, die von 1934 bis 1975 in 109 Ländern isoliert worden waren.

1 542 257 strains of Salmonellae isolated in 109 countries during the period 1934-75 were analysed to determine the relative frequency of the 1864 species currently recognized. In addition to the absolute numbers of strains isolated, the "age" of the species and the numbers of reports were used to compute a frequency quotient (QF). It is proposed, on the basis of occurrence, that species be classified as most frequent, frequent, uncommon, rare and very rare. The Salmonella species most frequently isolated from man, food animals, other animals, foods, feeding stuffs, and water including sewage are listed in tables.
