Abstract

Salmonelosis is one of the most prevalent foodborne diseases in Brazil and around the world, presenting a continuous and marked increase in the number of related cases since the 70’s. The main foods associated to salmonelosis transmission are eggs and egg products, with handling practices playing an important role in bacterial dissemination by allowing cross contamination in the cooking surroundings. In Parana State, egg emerges as the food responsible for the most of outbreaks since 1993. Besides, the use of antibiotics for animal production, with profilatic, terapeutic or growth promotion objectives, have contributed to the emergence of resistant Salmonella strains, which may difficult the treatment of extraintestinal infections caused by the bacteria. Thus, this work aimed to review Salmonella contamination of eggs and egg products and the consequences of its antimicrobial resistance for public health.
