The objective of this study was to determine whether poultry shell eggs are a major reservoir of Salmonella enteritidis in Arkansas. One hundred dozen commercially purchased shell eggs were cultured for the presence of Salmonella sp. After each dozen eggs was examined, the contents of the 12 eggs were separated from their shells. The contents and the shells were separately pooled and cultured. One dozen of the 100 dozen egg shells cultured were found to be externally contaminated with S heidelberg, while none of the contents of the 100 dozen eggs were found to contain Salmonella organisms. The reevaluation of previously obtained telephone follow-up data on 204 patients with Salmonella infections from 1992-1993 revealed that 30 had consumed raw eggs before their salmonellosis but only one patient was infected with S enteritidis. These data suggest that poultry shell eggs are not a major cause of human illness due to S enteritidis in Arkansas.
本研究的目的是确定带壳禽蛋是否是阿肯色州肠炎沙门氏菌的主要储存宿主。对从商业渠道购买的100打带壳鸡蛋进行培养，以检测是否存在沙门氏菌属。检查每打鸡蛋后，将12个鸡蛋的内容物与蛋壳分离。内容物和蛋壳分别合并后进行培养。在培养的100打蛋壳中，有一打被海德堡沙门氏菌外部污染，而在100打鸡蛋的内容物中，未发现含有沙门氏菌。对1992年至1993年期间204例沙门氏菌感染患者先前获得的电话随访数据进行重新评估发现，30例患者在患沙门氏菌病之前食用过生鸡蛋，但只有1例感染了肠炎沙门氏菌。这些数据表明，在阿肯色州，带壳禽蛋并非人类因肠炎沙门氏菌患病的主要原因。
