A food-borne outbreak with about 200 Umbilo cases occurred mainly between July and September 2024 in several European countries. Collaborative work between outbreak teams in Germany, Austria and Denmark, including epidemiological and microbiological investigations, allowed to rapidly identify rocket salad as the likely infection vehicle. Umbilo was detected in rocket salad, and later in baby spinach. The food isolates and clinical outbreak strain were genetically closely related. Both food items originated from the same company in Italy.
在 2024 年 7 月至 9 月期间,几个欧洲国家发生了一起与 Umbilo 相关的食源性疾病暴发,约有 200 例病例。德国、奥地利和丹麦的疫情应对团队开展了合作,包括进行流行病学和微生物学调查,这使得他们能够迅速确定火箭生菜是可能的感染源。在火箭生菜中检测到 Umbilo,后来在婴儿菠菜中也检测到了 Umbilo。食品分离株和临床暴发菌株在基因上密切相关。这两种食品均来自意大利的同一家公司。
