USA – A 30-month Study of 80 Cases of Salmonella Oranienburg Infection
A 30-month study is reported of an epidemic of salmonellosis involving 46 newborn infants and 34 older individuals who were contacts and became carriers. A total of 80 persons was involved, all having positive stool cultures for Salmonella sp. (type Oranienburg). Of the total number of infants delivered during the epidemic, the 46 infected infants established an attack rate of 20%. The additional 34 older individuals who were carriers were contacts of the infected infants. The mechanics of contact or mode of pattern of spread could not be completely determined. In the newborn infants response to this infection varied. One infant died, 7 were acutely ill, 33 had symptoms of grossly abnormal stools, 5 had asymptomatic infection and were diagnosed by positive stool cultures alone. With one exception, the older individuals all were asymptomatic and were diagnosed by positive stool cultures. Serologic confirmation of the presence of this specific infection was established by determinations of specific antibodies. These were positive in 9 of 10 infants. In the older individuals, antibody agglutinations were positive in seven of eight so studied. Of the 33 infants followed, all became carriers and at the end of 30 months, cultures of stools of 30 of the total number had become negative for Salmonella sp. (type Oranienburg) and 3 remained positive. Of the 22 older individuals followed, all had cultures negative for Salmonella sp. (type Oranienburg) at the end of 13 months. Therapy was prescribed in six acute cases and all of these patients recovered. Experimental therapy for the carrier state resulted in failure in all cases. A comparison of the group of 20 infants not treated suggested that stools of the untreated patients cleared spontaneously more readily than those who were treated.

USA -Euro Foods Dba Citterio USA Corp. Recalls Salame Stick Products Due To Possible Salmonella Contamination
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2021 – Euro Foods, a Freeland, Penn. establishment, is recalling approximately 119,091 pounds of salame stick products that may be contaminated with Salmonella the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. FSIS issued a public health alert for the salame stick products on October 29, 2021, believing that the product was no longer in commerce. However, following this alert, FSIS observed product available at one retail location and two Citterio salame stick samples previously collected by the California Department of Public Health have tested positive for Salmonella.
The Italian-style salame stick items were produced prior to October 25, 2021. The following products are subject to recall [view label]:
- 2-oz. packages containing Citterio “Premium Italian-Style Salame Sticks ALL NATURAL” with “best by” dates through January 23, 2022, located next to the barcode.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 4010” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide and exported to Bermuda.
FSIS has been working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners to investigate a multistate outbreak of 31 Salmonella I 4,[5],12:i:- illnesses in 10 states with onset dates ranging from September 18, 2021 through October 18, 2021. The epidemiologic and traceback investigation identified that ill people consumed Citterio Italian-style Salame Sticks produced by Euro Foods Inc. Two unopened, intact, packages of Citterio Italian-style Salame Sticks collected by the California Department of Public Health as part of the ongoing investigation tested positive for Salmonella. Further testing is ongoing to determine if the product samples are related to the outbreak. FSIS continues to work with federal and state public health partners to determine if there are additional illnesses linked to these products.
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 6 hours to 6 days after eating the contaminated product. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. In some persons, however, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop a severe illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact their health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ pantries or refrigerators. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
