Epidemiology of non ‐typhoid Salmonella infection in the Australian Capital Territory over a 10‐year period

ConclusionsNTS notifications in the ACT have increased over time, with outbreaks of food‐borne disease contributing to this increase. Crude age‐specific incidence is highest in the very young, while rates of hospitalisation are highest in the elderly. Comorbid disease and infection with a non‐S. Typhimurium serotype were associated with complicated NTS disease course. Antimicrobial resistance in NTS is low and has not increased over time.
