| multistate outbreak of salmonella typhimurium infections associated with eating ground beef--united states, 2004. | salmonella infections cause an estimated 1.4 million human illnesses and 400 deaths annually in the united states. although the incidence of several other foodborne bacterial infections decreased substantially during 1996-2004, the incidence of salmonella infections declined modestly. in september 2004, the new mexico department of health received reports from the new mexico scientific laboratory division of eight salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium isolates that had indistinguishable pulse ... | 2006 | 16498383 |
| occurrence of salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium dt104a in retail ground beef. | surveillance data of cattle and human isolates of salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium dt104 indicate that this pathogen emerged worldwide in the 1980s, particularly in cattle. studies were conducted to determine the prevalence of salmonella typhimurium dt104 in ground beef. samples were also tested for the presence of generic escherichia coli. a total of 404 fresh ground beef samples obtained at retail stores from new york, san francisco, philadelphia, denver, atlanta, houston, and chicago w ... | 2002 | 11848574 |
| salmonella typhimurium infections transmitted by chlorine-pretreated clover sprout seeds. | raw seed sprouts have caused numerous outbreaks of enteric infections. presoaking seeds in a 20,000 mg/liter (ppm) calcium hypochlorite solution before sprouting is recommended to reduce bacterial contamination and infection risk. in 1999, the authors investigated an outbreak of salmonella serotype typhimurium infections in colorado. in a case-control study, they matched 20 cases with 58 controls by age, sex, and telephone prefix; 10 (52%) of 19 cases and no controls recalled eating raw alfalfa- ... | 2001 | 11724718 |
| abstracts of papers presented at the 1980 meetings of the genetic society of america. boulder, colorado august 18-20, 1980. | the transposable tetracycline resistance element, tn10, can serve as a region of homology to promote rec-dependent deletion, duplication and directed transposition of bacterial genes. tn10 insertions in regions of the chromosome near the histidine operon (his) have been isolated and characterized in salmonella typhimurium. when strains are constructed containing two tn10 insertions flanking the his operon in the same orientation (tn10-his-tn10), recombination can occur between tn10 sequences res ... | 1980 | 7399262 |
| economic and health impacts associated with a salmonella typhimurium drinking water outbreak-alamosa, co, 2008. | in 2008, a large salmonella outbreak caused by contamination of the municipal drinking water supply occurred in alamosa, colorado. the objectives of this assessment were to determine the full economic costs associated with the outbreak and the long-term health impacts on the community of alamosa. we conducted a postal survey of city of alamosa (2008 population: 8,746) households and businesses, and conducted in-depth interviews with local, state, and nongovernmental agencies, and city of alamosa ... | 2013 | 23526942 |
