prevalence of foodborne pathogens in bulk tank milk.	bulk tank milk from 131 dairy herds in eastern south dakota and western minnesota was examined for the presence of for foodborne pathogens. campylobacter jejuni, shiga-toxin producing escherichia coli, listeria monocytogenes, salmonella spp., and yersinia enterocolitica were detected in 9.2, 3.8, 4.6, 6.1, and 6.1% of bulk tank milk samples, respectively. thirty-five of 131 (26.7%) bulk tank milk samples contained one or more species of pathogenic bacteria. isolates of salmonella belonged to gro ...	2001	11699446
quinolone-resistant campylobacter jejuni infections in minnesota, 1992-1998. investigation team.	increasing resistance to quinolones among campylobacter isolates from humans has been reported in europe and asia, but not in the united states. we evaluated resistance to quinolones among campylobacter isolates from minnesota residents during the period from 1992 through 1998.	1999	10332013
food-borne antibiotic-resistant campylobacter infections.	a recent report has provided some important information concerning the apparent emergence of quinolone-resistant bacterial infections in the united states. in particular, this report indicates an increase in domestically acquired, quinolone-resistant campylobacter jejuni infections, likely associated with poultry consumption.	1999	10453177
a point-source outbreak of campylobacteriosis associated with consumption of raw milk.	after a one-day field trip to a minnesota farm, 22 (45%) of 49 third-grade students and three (14%) of 21 adult chaperones developed campylobacteriosis. campylobacter jejuni was isolated from specimens of 13 children and one asymptomatic adult. illness was associated with the consumption of raw milk during a picnic lunch (odds ratio = 41.0, p less than .0001) and participation in hand milking of cows (odds ratio = 37.5, less than .0001). two additional findings implicated consumption of raw milk ...	1985	4031557

serologic study of two clusters of infection due to campylobacter jejuni.	the serologic responses to campylobacter jejuni in persons involved in two clusters of infection and in control subjects were studied. in the first cluster, in which previously unexposed persons drank raw milk, the attack rate was high and elevated complement-fixing (cf) and specific igg and igm antibodies were demonstrated. in the second cluster, involving farmers who chronically drank raw milk, the attack rate was low, but titers of cf and igg antibodies were high in both affected and unaffect ...	1983	6842019
