US – Update on Salmonella fron Turtles

Food Poisoning Bulletin

The CDC has released updated information about multistate outbreaks of Salmonella linked to small turtles. So far, 149 people in 28 states are infected with outbreak strains of four types of bacteria: Salmonella Sandiego, Salmonella Pomona, Salmonella Newport, and Salmonella Poona. We’ve told you about this outbreak in March 2012 and again in May 2012. In the last update, there were five outbreaks; now there are six.

Very interesting as a UK food laboratory that Salmonella Poona used to be many laboratories control strain.
