Amanda Craten used to love cooking, especially big Sicilian dinners prepared for her extended family, relishing the family bonding as much as the food. But that changed in 2013 after Craten’s son and mother-in-law became seriously ill with Salmonella Heidelberg, a virulent, antibiotic-resistant strain of bacteria that was traced to chicken from Foster Farms, a leading poultry processor.
That contaminated chicken was part of a salmonella outbreak that spanned 16 months and sickened 634 people across the country, more than a third of whom had to be hospitalized. And for Craten’s family, in Arizona, the consequences were devastating.
This study aimed to characterize the Salmonella spp. distribution in a poultry processing facility, and to identify their antibiotic resistance profiles. S. enterica was detected in 146 samples (66.7%), and 125 isolates were identified as S. Heidelberg (n = 123), S. Abony (n = 1) and S. O:4,5 (n = 1). S. Heidelberg isolates were subjected to XbaI macrorestriction and PFGE, resulting in 66 pulsotypes grouped in 4 major clusters and demonstrating the cross contamination and persistence of this serotype in the processing facility. Also, S. enterica selected isolates were subjected to antibiotic resistance characterization, with most being categorized as multidrug resistant (n = 122, 97.6%). The resistance to third generation cephalosporins was particularly high: ceftazidime (n = 84, 67.2%) and cefotaxime and ceftriaxone (n = 91, 72.8%). Production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) was identified in 24 isolates (19.2%) and ESBL-producing isolates were resistant to at least eight different antibiotics. The study highlighted the occurrence and the distribution of S. Heidelberg in the poultry chain, allowing proper understanding of the ecology of this pathogen in the studied facility. Also, the presence of multidrug resistant S. enterica at high frequencies is a concern due to the potential consequences for public health.
A recall of Hannaford breads that were made with McCormick Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning that was recalled on July 27, 2021 for possible Salmonella contamination has been announced by the store chain. The seasoning itself was sold at Hannaford stores. No illnesses have been reported to McCormick in association with the consumption of the recalled spice blends.
