ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

In May 2010, a nationwide excess of infections with the specific monophasic variant Salmonella enterica serotype 4,12i- was investigated in France. Subtyping with multilocus variable number of tandem repeats analysis revealed a distinct epidemic strain within this excess. Epidemiological investigations identified a dried pork sausage sold by a particular chain of supermarkets as the likely vehicle of transmission. The suspected batches have been withdrawn and recalled.
