| a multi-jurisdiction outbreak of salmonella typhimurium phage type 135 associated with purchasing chicken meat from a supermarket chain. | a multi-jurisdiction case control study was conducted after an increase of salmonella typhimurium phage type 135 notifications (a local designated subgroup) was observed throughout australia. hypothesis generating interviews conducted in three jurisdictions identified consumption of chicken, eggs, beef and bagged carrots as common among cases and that a high proportion of cases (> 80%) reported purchasing their groceries from a particular supermarket chain (supermarket a). we conducted a case co ... | 2006 | 17330387 |
| increasing incidence of salmonella in australia, 2000-2013. | salmonella is a key cause of foodborne gastroenteritis in australia and case numbers are increasing. we used negative binomial regression to analyze national surveillance data for 2000-2013, for salmonella typhimurium and non-typhimurium salmonella serovars. we estimated incidence rate ratios adjusted for sex and age to show trends over time. almost all states and territories had significantly increasing trends of reported infection for s. typhimurium, with states and territories reporting annua ... | 2016 | 27732615 |
| a pilot survey of 39 victorian wwtp effluents using a high speed luminescent umu test in conjunction with a novel gc-ms-database technique for automatic identification of micropollutants. | in 2007, samples of treated effluent were collected at point of discharge to the environment from 39 wastewater treatment plants (wwtps) located across victoria, australia grouped by treatment type. sample genotoxicity was assessed with a high-throughput luminescent umu test method using salmonella typhimurium tl210 strain, with and without addition of a commercially available metabolic activation system. samples were also screened using a gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric mass-structure da ... | 2012 | 22766865 |
| an outbreak of salmonella typhimurium 9 at a school camp linked to contamination of rainwater tanks. | in march 2007, an outbreak of gastroenteritis was identified at a school camp in rural victoria, australia, affecting about half of a group of 55 students. a comprehensive investigation was initiated to identify the source. twenty-seven attendees were found to have abdominal pain, diarrhoea and nausea (attack rate 49%). of 11 faecal specimens tested all were positive for salmonella typhimurium definitive phage type 9 (dt9). of four samples taken from the untreated private water supply, two were ... | 2009 | 18687158 |
