In March 1988, there was an outbreak of infection by a strain of Salmonella saint-paul with a distinctive antigenic marker. A total of 143 reports were received between 1 March and 7 June. Preliminary investigations suggested that raw beansprouts were a possible source of infection and a case-control study confirmed the association. S. saint-paul of the epidemic type was isolated from samples of beansprouts on retail sale in different cities in the United Kingdom and from mung bean seeds on the premises of the producer who was most strongly associated with cases. In addition, Salmonella virchow PT34 was isolated from samples of raw beansprouts and was subsequently associated with seven cases of infection. Four other serotypes of salmonella were also isolated from beansprouts. On 8 April the public were advised to boil beansprouts for 15 seconds before consumption, and the premises of the one producer associated with many cases were closed. As a result of these actions there was a significant decrease in the number of infections with S. saint-paul.
1988年3月，出现了由一株带有独特抗原标记的圣保罗沙门氏菌引起的感染疫情。在3月1日至6月7日期间共收到143份报告。初步调查表明，生豆芽可能是感染源，一项病例对照研究证实了这种关联。从英国不同城市零售的豆芽样本以及与病例关联度最高的生产商场所内的绿豆种子中，分离出了流行型圣保罗沙门氏菌。此外，从生豆芽样本中分离出了维尔肖沙门氏菌PT34，随后该菌与7例感染病例相关。还从豆芽中分离出了其他四种沙门氏菌血清型。4月8日，建议公众在食用前将豆芽煮沸15秒，并关闭了与多起病例相关的一家生产商的场所。由于采取了这些措施，圣保罗沙门氏菌感染病例数量显著减少。
