| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0x851nU. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. In August 1997, an outbreak of gastroenteritis from Salmonella Hadar phage type 2 occurred among customers of a restaurant in Rimini (Emilia-Romagna region, Italy). Twenty-nine people who had eaten food prepared in the restaurant on 2 or 3 August had symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. The infection was culture-confirmed in 24 cases and the stool specimens of four healthy people were positive for Salmonella Hadar. Twelve people had to be hospitalized and a 3-year old girl died. The case-control study identified roast rabbit as the likely vehicle of infection (OR : 6.00 ; CI 95% : 1.65-22.83). The microbiological investigation carried out on food taken from the restaurant confirmed high levels of Salmonella Hadar in a sample of roast rabbit. Since the rabbit was well cooked, the food contamination likely occurred after cooking. Poor hygienic conditions found in the restaurant, together with inappropriate food-handling practices and inadequate storage temperatures may have contributed to spread to other foods and the severity of the outbreak. |
