ANNEX IIISpecific criteria to determine salmonella serotypes with public health significance

Annotations:

When determining which are the salmonella serotypes with public health significance to which F1targets apply, account must be taken of the following criteria:

  1. 1.

    the most frequent salmonella serotypes in human salmonellosis on the basis of data collected F2by the appropriate authority's monitoring systems;

  2. 2.

    the route of infection (that is, the presence of the serotype in relevant animal populations and feed);

  3. 3.

    whether any serotype shows a rapid and recent ability to spread and to cause disease in humans and animals;

  4. 4.

    whether any serotypes show increased virulence, for instance as regards invasiveness, or resistance to relevant therapies for human infections.
