Tracing the Origins of Salmonella Outbreaks

Bäumler, Andreas J., Hargis, Billy M., Tsolis, Renee M.·2000·Science

Abstract

Salmonellosis is a serious illness transmitted by various serotypes of the Salmonella bacteria that are present as contaminants in chicken carcasses, eggs, and egg products. In a Perspective, BA¤umler and colleagues put forward the hypothesis that the increased incidence of food-borne Salmonella since the late 1960s is due to the emergence of one particular serotype, S. enteritidis, as a major poultry-associated pathogen. Through retrospective analysis of epidemiological data on the prevalence of Salmonella pathogens in humans and poultry, the authors propose that the culling of poultry infected with two related Salmonella serotypes (that carry a common antigen, O9) depleted flock immunity, enabling S. enteritidis to fill the niche left behind by the elimination of the avian pathogens.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
