In May 1998, three large outbreaks of salmonellosis, affecting 91 persons, were identified in the Republic of Georgia. Eighteen Salmonella Typhimurium strains were characterized by arbitrary primed polymerase chain reaction and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; the results suggested that all cases were part of a single outbreak caused by a distinct clonal strain.
1998年5月，格鲁吉亚共和国确认发生了三起大规模沙门氏菌病疫情，涉及91人。通过任意引物聚合酶链反应和脉冲场凝胶电泳对18株鼠伤寒沙门氏菌菌株进行了特征分析；结果表明，所有病例均为同一独特克隆菌株引起的单一疫情的一部分。
