A community outbreak of Salmonella enteritidis phage type (PT) 4 infection, associated with eating food from a sandwich bar in Colchester, occurred in July 1991. One hundred and forty-four people were reported with food poisoning, of whom 132 met the clinical case definition. Three cohort studies of 92 people showed that illness was associated with the consumption of food containing mayonnaise. S. enteritidis PT4, indistinguishable by plasmid profile analysis, was isolated from stool samples from 83 people, food items including egg shells from the sandwich bar, and birds taken from the egg producing farm which supplied the eggs. This was the largest recorded outbreak of S. enteritidis PT4 infection in recent years associated with eggs produced in the United Kingdom. Existing advice on avoiding the use of raw eggs in uncooked dishes had not been followed. This outbreak highlights the importance of training in the implementation of this advice.
1991年7月,发生了一起肠炎沙门氏菌4型噬菌体感染的社区疫情,与食用科尔切斯特一家三明治店的食物有关。报告有144人食物中毒,其中132人符合临床病例定义。对92人的三项队列研究表明,疾病与食用含有蛋黄酱的食物有关。通过质粒图谱分析无法区分的肠炎沙门氏菌4型,从83人的粪便样本、包括三明治店的蛋壳在内的食品以及从供应鸡蛋的产蛋农场采集的鸟类中分离出来。这是近年来英国记录的与鸡蛋相关的肠炎沙门氏菌4型感染的最大规模疫情。关于避免在未煮熟菜肴中使用生鸡蛋的现有建议未得到遵循。此次疫情凸显了实施该建议培训的重要性。
