In August 2017, an outbreak of six listeriosis cases in Denmark was traced to cold-smoked salmon, using epidemiological investigations and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analyses. Exchange of genome sequences allowed identification in France of a food isolate from a salmon-derived product and a human isolate from 2016 within the same cgMLST cluster as the Danish isolates (L2-SL8-ST8-CT771). The salmon product came from a third European Union country. WGS can rapidly link human cases and food isolates across Europe.
2017 年 8 月,丹麦暴发了 6 起因食用熏冷三文鱼而感染李斯特菌的病例,通过流行病学调查和全基因组测序(WGS)分析发现了这一事件的源头。对基因组序列的交换分析,使得法国能够鉴定出一种源自三文鱼产品的食品分离株和 2016 年的人类分离株,它们与丹麦分离株(L2-SL8-ST8-CT771)同属于一个 cgMLST 聚类。该三文鱼产品来自于第三个欧盟国家。WGS 可以快速将欧洲的人类病例和食品分离株联系起来。
