An outbreak of Salmonella dublin infection occurred in England and Wales in October to December 1989. Forty-two people were affected, mainly adults, and most lived in south-east England. Microbiological and epidemiological investigations implicated an imported Irish soft unpasteurized cows' milk cheese as the vehicle of infection. A case-control study showed a statistically significant association between infection and consumption of the suspect cheese (p = 0.001). Salmonella dublin was subsequently isolated from cheeses obtained from the manufacturer's premises. Initial control measures included the withdrawal of the cheese from retail sale and a Food Hazard Warning to Environmental Health Departments, as well as a press release, from the Department of Health. Subsequently, a decision was taken by the manufacturer to pasteurize milk used in the production of cheese for the UK market and importation of the cheese resumed in June 1990.
1989年10月至12月，英格兰和威尔士爆发了都柏林沙门氏菌感染疫情。42人受到感染，主要为成年人，且大多数居住在英格兰东南部。微生物学和流行病学调查表明，一种进口的爱尔兰软质未杀菌牛奶奶酪是感染源。一项病例对照研究显示，感染与食用可疑奶酪之间存在统计学上的显著关联（p = 0.001）。随后，从制造商生产场所获取的奶酪中分离出了都柏林沙门氏菌。初步控制措施包括从零售市场下架该奶酪，并向环境卫生部门发布食品危害警告，同时卫生部发布新闻稿。随后，制造商决定对用于英国市场奶酪生产的牛奶进行巴氏杀菌，并于1990年6月恢复该奶酪的进口。
