April, 2011:
Govt discloses a drug-resistant salmonella food poisoning outbreak due to contaminated turkey burgers.
So far 10 states are affected [Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Washington and Wisconsin.]
55,000 lbs have been recalled by the Jennie-O Turkey Store in Willmar, MN.
The CDC found the Samonella Hadar bacteria in the meat. It’s resistant to ampicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanate, cephalothin and tetracycline.
The CDC said the resistance increases the risk of “treatment failure” in infected people. Three ppL have been hospitalized in the outbreak w/ no deaths reported.
Health officials have long worried about a strain of drug-resistant bacteria causing a mass outbreak of foodborne illness.
