Enter-net is an international network for the surveillance of human gastrointestinal infections, which monitors salmonellosis and Verocytotoxin producing E. coli (VTEC) O157, including their antimicrobial resistance. Main objectives of Enter-net are the harmonisation of typing methods, the establishment of a regularly updated international database including the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates, the recognition and investigation of outbreaks. The Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) represents Italy in the network and coordinates a national surveillance system that involves laboratories operating in the medical, veterinary and environmental fields. Since 2001, Enter-net Italia activities are presented in an annual workshop. This year the workshop is structured as a meeting that, beside presenting Enter-net activities, will provide an updating of the research project Foodborne zoonoses: harmonization and application of innovative methods in the medical and veterinary fields
. The project is funded by the Italian Ministry of Health.
Key words: Enteric infections, Surveillance, Zoonoses
