Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: There is an increasing awareness in the field of Salmonella epidemiology that focusing control efforts on those serotypes which cause severe human health outcomes, as opposed to broadly targeting all Salmonella, will likely lead to the greatest advances in decreasing the incidence of salmonellosis. Yet, little guidance exists to support validated, scientific selection of target serotypes. The goal of this abstract is to develop an approach to identifying serotypes of greater concern and present a case study using beef-attributed outbreaks to examine challenges in developing a standardized framework for defining target serotypes.
