The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract
Infection with the zoonotic Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium DTI04 has been recognised since the beginning of the 90's as a health problem in several industrialised countries. The present investigation demonstrates that results of surveillance of Salmonella infection in food animals, food production and among humans enabled identification of an outbreak of human salmonellosis caused by a nalidixic acid resistant strain of S. typhimurium DTJ 04. The source of infection was traced back to a single slaughterhouse and two pig herds.
