On May 16, 2008, CDC reported on a 2006-2007 multistate outbreak of infection with Salmonella enterica serotype Schwarzengrund that was associated with dry dog food. At the time of that report, a total of 70 cases had been reported from 19 states, with the last case identified on October 1, 2007. Subsequently, an additional case was identified on December 29, 2007. Epidemiologic and environmental investigations have suggested the source of the outbreak was dry pet food produced by one manufacturer, Mars Petcare US. This report updates the previous CDC report, provides additional epidemiologic findings, and describes additional actions taken by public health agencies and the manufacturer. In 2008, eight more cases have been reported, bringing the total number of cases in the outbreak to 79. On September 12, 2008, the company announced a nationwide voluntary recall of all dry dog and cat food products produced during a 5-month period at one Pennsylvania plant. Dry pet food has a 1-year shelf life. Contaminated products identified in recalls might still be in the homes of purchasers and could cause illness. Persons who have these products should not use them to feed their pets but should discard them or return them to the store.
2008年5月16日,美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)报告了2006 - 2007年一起由肠炎沙门氏菌施瓦岑格鲁德血清型感染引发的多州疫情,该疫情与干狗粮有关。在那份报告发布时,已从19个州共报告了70例病例,最后一例病例于2007年10月1日被确认。随后,在2007年12月29日又确认了一例病例。流行病学和环境调查表明,此次疫情的源头是由玛氏宠物护理美国公司(Mars Petcare US)一家制造商生产的干宠物食品。本报告更新了美国疾病控制与预防中心之前的报告,提供了更多的流行病学调查结果,并描述了公共卫生机构和制造商采取的其他行动。2008年,又报告了8例病例,使此次疫情中的病例总数达到79例。2008年9月12日,该公司宣布在全国范围内自愿召回宾夕法尼亚州一家工厂在5个月期间生产的所有干狗粮和猫粮产品。干宠物食品的保质期为1年。召回中确定的受污染产品可能仍在购买者家中,并可能导致疾病。拥有这些产品的人不应将其用于喂养宠物,而应丢弃或退回商店。
