Abstract

|
|
Background: Salmonella I 4,[5],12:i:- was first reported as a new serovar by the Spanish National Reference Laboratory in 1997. Thereafter, several outbreaks caused by this serovar have been reported, indicating worldwide transmission.
Materials and Methods: Stool samples and patient data were collected from diarrhea cases in an outbreak at Daegu city in 2008. Salmonella isolates were characterized by phage typing, antibiotic resistance profile and flagella gene deletion. Deposited isolates in the EnterNet-Korea, acute diarrheal surveillance system, were also screened for this serovar.
Results: Isolates from diarrhea patients in the Daegu outbreak (2008) were identified as Salmonella I 4,[5],12:i:-. Screening the deposited isolates in the EnteroNet-Korea revealed that an unidentifed isolate in 2001 was the Salmonella I 4,[5], 12:i:-.
Conclusions: Salmonella I 4,[5],12:i:-. was the causative pathogen of the 2008 foodborne outbreak of salmonellosis in Daegu City. Retrospective screening revealed that Salmonella I 4,[5],12:i:- was present in Korea as early as 2001.
