In August 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified CDC of a consumer complaint involving Salmonella Sandiego infection in a child (the index patient), who had acquired a small turtle (shell length <4 inches [<10 cm]) at an Alabama flea market. The subsequent investigation, which included examining data from PulseNet, the national molecular subtyping network for foodborne disease surveillance, identified four multistate Salmonella outbreaks: two involving Salmonella Sandiego and two involving Salmonella Poona. These serotypes have been linked to small turtles in previous outbreaks (1,2). Although selling small turtles as pets in the United States has been banned since 1975 (3), illegal sales still occur at discount stores and flea markets and by street vendors. CDC investigated to determine the extent of the outbreaks and prevent additional infections.
2015 年 8 月，食品和药物管理局（FDA）向疾病预防控制中心通报了一起涉及沙门氏菌感染儿童（即索引患者）的消费者投诉。该儿童在阿拉巴马州跳蚤市场购买了一只小龟（壳长<4 英寸 [<10 厘米]）。随后的调查包括检查脉冲网（PulseNet）的数据，该网络是用于食源性疾病监测的国家分子分型网络，确定了四起涉及沙门氏菌的多州暴发疫情：两起涉及沙门氏菌沙堤亚，两起涉及沙门氏菌波那。在以前的暴发疫情中，这些血清型与小龟有关（1,2）。尽管自 1975 年以来，美国已禁止将小龟作为宠物出售（3），但在折扣店、跳蚤市场和街头小贩处仍有非法销售。疾病预防控制中心进行了调查，以确定疫情的范围并防止进一步感染。
