Drug resistant salmonella linked to soft cheese and beef sickens hundreds

[MindWars]

(Fox News) – A multidrug-resistant strain of salmonella that has sickened hundreds has been linked to Mexican-style soft cheese and beef, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a warning this week. The strain — salmonella Newport — sickened 255 people in 32 states from June 2018 to March of this year. At least 60 people were hospitalized and two died, the CDC said in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published Thursday. The illnesses were mostly linked to soft cheeses purchased in Mexico and beef in the U.S., officials said.

I note that it is both Mexican cheese and American beef that was affected:

"An outbreak of drug-resistant Salmonella that impacted more than 250 people in the United States from mid-June 2018 to March 2019 has been linked to beef from the United States and soft cheese from Mexico, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cases involving the drug-resistant Salmonella were identified in 32 states, with nearly half of the patients having reported trips to Mexico prior to the illness.
Salmonella is a bacteria that is most commonly contracted from contaminated water and food. When consumed, this bacteria causes a number of symptoms, including fever, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Though most people are able to make a full recovery within a week and only need to drink fluids, some individuals are severely impacted and may need antibiotics
In those cases, doctors prescribe an antibiotic called azithromycin, commonly offered under the brand name Zithromax in the form of a ‘Z-Pak’ or ‘Tri-Pak.’ There’s a variety of Salmonella that is multi-drug-resistant, however, including to the effects of azithromycin, which makes it harder to treat.
Until 2017, according to the CDC, Salmonella resistant to this antibiotic accounted for less than 0.5-percent of cases in the United States. That changed primarily with the Salmonella enterica serotype Newport (Newport) outbreak that took place from June 2018 to March 2019. During that time, 255 people were identified as infected with this drug-resistant bacteria.
As part of the investigation, officials found Oaxaca and queso fresco soft cheese that was sold in Tijuana, Mexico, was contaminated with the drug-resistant Salmonella strain identified in at least one patient who became ill in the US following their trip to Mexico. As well, this same strain was found in beef samples from two Texas facilities."

So both are from Mexico. No surprise.
