Whole-Genome Sequencing assisted outbreak investigation of Salmonella Enteritidis, at a hospital in South Africa, September 2022

2024-10-04

Abstract excerpt

Health authorities were notified of a suspected outbreak of foodborne disease in a hospital in South Africa, where staff and patients reported acute onset of abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, fever, and rigors after eating a chicken pasta meal. The aim of this report is to discuss the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis of bacterial isolates to support an epidemiological investigation. An epidemiological inve...
