Animal contact-related nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica outbreaks in humans in the U.S. (2009–2022): serovar-specific temporal trends and associations with exposure sources and settings

The findings of this study can inform public health authorities in their efforts to reduce the burden of NTS infections. The persistence of NTS serovars across diverse animal sources and exposure settings highlights the ongoing zoonotic transmission risk at the human-animal-environment interface. A comprehensive, One Health approach to prevention and control is suggested to mitigate the health burden of NTS outbreaks.
