An outbreak of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium belonging to phage type (PT) 193 occurred in autumn 1995 and involved 83 individuals in a large area of Northern Italy (Lombardy Region). Epidemiological and microbiological investigations of strains isolated from clinical and food specimens revealed that the vehicle was a batch of salami, produced on 4 September 1995 by a local firm. The outbreak was contained when the batch was withdrawn from sale. Insufficient ripening of the salami had allowed the salmonella to survive, emphasizing the need to define criteria for the ripening process of foods such as salami.
1995年秋季，意大利北部大片地区（伦巴第大区）爆发了由噬菌体分型（PT）193的肠炎沙门氏菌鼠伤寒血清型引起的疫情，涉及83人。对从临床和食品标本中分离出的菌株进行的流行病学和微生物学调查显示，传播媒介是当地一家公司于1995年9月4日生产的一批意大利腊肠。当这批腊肠下架后，疫情得到了控制。意大利腊肠成熟不足使沙门氏菌得以存活，这凸显了为意大利腊肠等食品的成熟过程制定标准的必要性。
