The majority of isolates, 260(96%),were obtained from stool/rectalswab/rectum samples, and 12 (4%) isolates were obtained from blood samples. Salmonella serovar Stanley-positive stool/rectal swabs were detected throughout Thailand except in zone 6 and were variously distributed among the different regional zones. Of note, the highest numbers of cases were described in zones 1 and 4 (n 41 in each zone) and in BKK (Bangkok) (n 63) (data not shown). Salmonella serovar Stanley-positive blood samples were detected in zone 2(n 3), 4 (n 4), 5 (n 1), 7 (n 2), and BKK (n 2), thus covering the central part of Thailand from east to west (data not shown)
