From July through September 2000, patients in five European countries were infected with a multidrug-resistant strain of Salmonella Typhimurium DT204b. Epidemiologic investigations were facilitated by the transmission of electronic images (Tagged Image Files) of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles. This investigation highlights the importance of standardized protocols for molecular typing in international outbreaks of foodborne disease.
2000年7月至9月期间,欧洲五个国家的患者感染了鼠伤寒沙门氏菌DT204b的多重耐药菌株。脉冲场凝胶电泳图谱的电子图像(标记图像文件)传输有助于进行流行病学调查。这项调查突出了标准化分子分型方案在食源性疾病国际暴发中的重要性。
