 AB    We review the epidemiology and prevention of and future research
       priorities for bacterial enteric infections in persons infected with the
       human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV-infected persons are more
       frequently infected with Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria, and
       (possibly) Shigella species than are individuals not infected with HIV.
       In addition, Salmonella and (possibly) Campylobacter infections are more
       likely to be severe, recurrent, or persistent and associated with
       extraintestinal disease when they occur in HIV-infected persons.
       Infections caused by Shigella and Vibrio species can also result in more
       serious disease in HIV-infected persons than in those not infected with
       HIV. Risk of these infections can be reduced with proper precautions,
       particularly those pertaining to food hygiene, animal contact, and
       travel. Individuals infected with HIV should be informed of their
       increased risk of acquiring these diseases and should be counseled on
       the recommended precautions.
