ABSTRACT
Whereas the overall incidence of human Salmonella infections in Denmark has fallen during the past three years, the number of infections with multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium definitive type 104 (DT104) has risen. We report five cases of human infection with DT104 in patients living on farms, in which cattle and mixed herds of cattle and pigs were infected with DT104. Transmission from the animals to the patients in the cases described is likely to have occurred. These cases emphasize the risky of infection through contact with animals infected with DT104.
