Multi-country outbreak of Salmonella enteritidis infection linked to the international ice hockey tournament.

abstract：:During a 15-month period in Scotland a small but important number of human Campylobacter cases (3·2%) arose from 91 putative household outbreaks. Of the 26 outbreaks with known strain composition, 89% were composed of the same MLST which supports the potential use of MLST in public health epidemiology. The number of c...
