Abstract

In January 2002, an outbreak of Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 infections occured on 'Asirat', an oil tanker, during its return test voyage from Split, Croatia to Trieste, Italy. Of the 120 crewmembers and workers 22 (18%) suffered from gastrointestinal symptoms. In 17 patients Y. enterocolitica O:3 was isolated from stool samples. All available food and water samples were negative and the source of infection was not determined. Probably a foodborne transmission was involved, although person to person transmission could not be excluded.

摘要

2002年1月，一艘名为“阿西拉特”的油轮在从克罗地亚斯普利特返回意大利的的里雅斯特的试航途中，爆发了小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌O:3感染。在120名船员和工作人员中，有22人（18%）出现了胃肠道症状。17名患者的粪便样本中分离出了小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌O:3。所有可得的食物和水样检测均为阴性，感染源未确定。虽然不能排除人际传播，但可能涉及食源性传播。
