This paper describes an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness affecting at least 110 people, of whom 41 had microbiological confirmation of Campylobacter jejuni infection. The outbreak of infection was found to have been associated with consumption of inadequately pasteurised milk from a local dairy. The problem of enforcement of food and safety regulations when milk from dairies fails the phosphatase test is discussed. The prevalence of seroconversion to campylobacter in the community is estimated from a sample of cases and controls involved in this outbreak.
本文描述了一起影响至少110人的胃肠道疾病暴发事件,其中41人经微生物学确认感染空肠弯曲菌。发现此次感染暴发与食用当地一家乳品厂未经充分巴氏杀菌的牛奶有关。文中讨论了乳品厂牛奶磷酸酶检测不合格时食品和安全法规的执行问题。根据此次暴发所涉及的病例和对照样本,估计了社区中空肠弯曲菌血清转化的发生率。
