Incidences are expressed as numbers/100,000 person observations years (PYO); 95% confidence intervals are written within brackets. BSI: bloodstream infections. NA: non-applicable. Nrs: numbers. iNTS: invasive non-Typhoidal Salmonella.
a Correction was applied for those BSI that were referred from HC other than Nazoanga.
