Abstract |
In early July 2008, a cluster of six Salmonella Agona was identified in the Republic of Ireland. A dispersed, common source outbreak was suspected. Later in July a further case was identified and the Health Protection Agency in the UK indicated that they had 32 cases of S. Agona since Feb 2008. This chapter discusses how pulsed field gel electrophoresis was used to help confirm an outbreak and to trace the source of the outbreak. |
