A Salmonella outbreak in England that sickened more than 60 people earlier this year has been linked to eggs from Poland.
Samples from patients are also similar to previously reported isolates that fall into a cluster that is part of several national and international investigations.
There were 65 cases associated with the English outbreak; 25 confirmed and 18 probable infections linked to a restaurant, ten confirmed with unknown links to the establishment, and 12 with no link to the restaurant.
The outbreak linked to the unnamed restaurant was reported to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) East of England Health Protection Team in early April. UKHSA was notified of multiple cases of gastroenteritis following food consumption at the site, with attendance or takeaway dates in late March, according to a study published in the journal Eurosurveillance.
