Abstract

Salmonella Typhimurium was isolated from two adult cows and a veterinary pathologist who performed a necropsy examination on one of the cows. The isolates had indistinguishable phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. A splash exposure was the suspected means of transmission of the human infection. Veterinary practices and other at-risk occupations should establish site-specific infection control plans and review recommendations for use of facial protection measures during procedures that may produce splashes or aerosols.

摘要

从两头成年奶牛以及对其中一头奶牛进行尸检的一名兽医病理学家身上分离出了鼠伤寒沙门氏菌。分离出的菌株具有难以区分的表型和基因型特征。疑似人感染的传播途径是飞溅暴露。兽医诊所及其他高危职业应制定针对具体场所的感染控制计划，并审查在可能产生飞溅物或气溶胶的操作过程中使用面部防护措施的建议。
