WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SALMONELLA DURING AN OUTBREAK

Posted on November 21, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Poison Journal

There are two Salmonella species: Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) and Salmonella bongori (S. bongori). S. bongori strains predominantly colonize cold-blooded reptiles, whereas S. enterica strains are capable of infecting both humans and mammals.[1] Based on factors such as morphology, structure, mode of reproduction, and other criteria, the two species are further classified into subgroups called serotypes or serovars. More than 2,600 serotypes have been described for Salmonella, and they are characterized by the type(s) of animal they are found in or by the clinical symptoms they cause.[2] Of these, less than 100 are responsible for most human Salmonella infections.[3]

Research – Multinational investigation of a Salmonella Umbilo outbreak reveals rocket salad and baby spinach as the likely infection vehicles, Europe, 2024

Posted on November 21, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Eurosurveillance

We report on the collaborative investigation of an outbreak including about 200 cases of  serotype Umbilo (. Umbilo) that affected several European countries mainly between July and September 2024. The investigation enabled to rapidly identify and microbiologically confirm rocket salad (also known as arugula or rucola) from company A in Italy as the likely food vehicle. Baby spinach and possibly other items produced by the same company could be additional food vehicles. While case numbers appeared to decline in October 2024, some . Umbilo infections (with genomic analysis pending to confirm these cases) continue to be detected at the time of writing.

USA – Great Falls Salmonella Illnesses might be linked to Multi-State Outbreak

Posted on November 18, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Poison Journal

At this time, ten cases have been confirmed. Nine of those confirmed cases are within four GFPS elementary schools. Additional test results are pending.

The MT State lab is performing genomic sequencing of test samples for each confirmed salmonella infection. These results would determine whether the Great Falls cases are linked to cases in other jurisdictions but will not confirm a specific food source. As of 11/15, we have not yet received those results.
