Incidence rates and clinical Symptoms of Salmonella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Shigella infections in China, 1998–2013

Conclusions: Salmonella has been identified as the third-most frequent cause of diarrhea from 1998–2006, as the second-most frequent cause from 2006–2010, and as the most frequent cause from 2011–2013, which was mainly due to a sharp decrease of V. parahaemolyticus infections in 2011–2013. Salmonella strains collected in 2011–2013 showed high susceptibility to imipenem (100%) and meropenem (100%), whereas susceptibilities for ampicillin (39%) and piperacillin (40%) were low.
