Approximately 41 percent of the visitors and employees who were at a ski resort in Montana between December 23, 1974, and January 17, 1975, became ill with diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. The association between illness and water consumption proved to be significant, and the previously noncontaminated water supply was found to contain coliforms. No pathogens except Yersinia enterocolitica were isolated, and it was isolated from two wells serving the area. The role of Y. enterocolitica in this outbreak is not clear, but it was the only organism isolated that is known to be pathogenic.
1974年12月23日至1975年1月17日期间,在蒙大拿州一个滑雪胜地的游客和员工中,约41%的人出现腹泻及其他胃肠道症状。事实证明,疾病与饮水之间存在显著关联,且此前未受污染的供水系统中检测出大肠菌群。除小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌外,未分离出其他病原体,且该菌是从为该地区供水的两口井中分离出来的。小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌在此次疫情中的作用尚不清楚,但它是唯一分离出的已知致病微生物。
