美国联邦卫生官员周五表示,一场已导致15个州数十人患病的大肠杆菌与沙门氏菌疫情,已与明尼苏达州的一家苜蓿种植商相关联。

美国食品药品监督管理局在一份新闻稿中表示,此次疫情与明尼阿波利斯市的“一切芽苗菜”公司分销的苜蓿芽有关,这些芽苗以“一切芽苗菜”和“卡尔科”品牌销售。FDA称,这些芽苗被供应给了餐厅和杂货店。

“一切芽苗菜”公司随后于周五宣布,自愿召回特定批次的苜蓿芽,这些芽苗可能携带可引发大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌感染的志贺毒素。

“一切芽苗菜”公司表示,被召回的苜蓿芽自5月27日起供应给明尼苏达州和威斯康星州的第三方分销商及零售杂货店。该公司称,部分被召回的芽苗装在带盖的5盎司塑料容器中。

“一切芽苗菜”公司在一份声明中表示,疫情暴发以来该公司每日都进行检测,“未收到任何阳性实验室结果”。

“截至目前,公司未收到任何涉及‘日常芽苗菜’牌苜蓿芽的患病报告,”“一切芽苗菜”公司称。

根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据,此次疫情目前已确认至少55例大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌感染病例,其中4名患者已住院治疗。

FDA表示,在全国范围内与此次疫情相关的55名确诊患者中,46人感染了大肠杆菌,7人感染了沙门氏菌,另有2人同时感染了两种病菌。

FDA称,这些病例的报告时间为5月31日至8月8日。

明尼苏达州和威斯康星州目前的确诊病例似乎最多。明尼苏达州卫生部门周四公布了本州的数据,称7月8日至8月8日期间,该州已有至少23例与苜蓿芽相关的沙门氏菌或大肠杆菌感染病例,其中2例住院治疗。

威斯康星州卫生服务部门周四报告了至少17例大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌感染病例,其中1例住院。

根据FDA的信息,其他出现相关疫情病例的州还有佛罗里达州、印第安纳州、艾奥瓦州、堪萨斯州、密歇根州、新罕布什尔州、纽约州、北卡罗来纳州、北达科他州、宾夕法尼亚州、南卡罗来纳州、南达科他州和华盛顿州。

根据CDC的信息,志贺毒素引发的大肠杆菌感染症状包括严重胃痉挛、带血腹泻和呕吐。

沙门氏菌感染的症状包括腹泻、发烧和胃痉挛。

此次疫情紧随一场始于6月的持续性沙门氏菌疫情,该疫情与墨西哥锡那罗亚州种植的哈拉佩尼奥辣椒相关,目前已导致32个州的400多人患病,CDC称。

An outbreak of E. coli and salmonella that has sickened dozens of people across 15 states has been linked to an alfalfa grower in Minnesota, federal health officials said Friday.

The Food and Drug Administration said in a news release that the outbreak was linked to alfalfa sprouts distributed by Minneapolis-based Everything Sprouts and sold under the Everything Sprouts and Calco brands. The sprouts were sold to restaurants and grocery stores, the FDA said.

Everything Sprouts announced later Friday that it was voluntarily recalling certain lots of alfalfa sprouts that could potentially be contaminated with the Shiga toxin that can produce E. coli and salmonella.

The recalled alfalfa sprouts were supplied starting on May 27 to third-party distributors and retail grocery stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin, Everything Sprouts said. Some of the recalled sprouts come in 5-ounce plastic containers with a lid, the company said.

Everything Sprouts said in a statement that it has conducted daily tests since the outbreak began and has “not received any positive lab results.”

“To date, no reports of illnesses involving Everyday Sprouts Alfalfa Sprouts have been reported to the company,” Everything Sprouts said.

At least 55 cases of E. coli and salmonella have been confirmed in the outbreak so far, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, four patients have been hospitalized.

The FDA said that of the 55 people with confirmed illnesses nationwide linked to the outbreak, 46 were infected with E. coli and seven with salmonella, while two people were infected with both illnesses.

The illnesses were reported from May 31 to Aug. 8, the FDA said.

Minnesota and Wisconsin appear to have experienced the most cases so far. The Minnesota Department of Health reported its own numbers Thursday, saying there have been at least 23 cases of salmonella or E. coli in the state between July 8 and Aug. 8 linked to alfalfa sprouts, with two of those cases resulting in hospitalization.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reported Thursday at least 17 cases of E. coli and salmonella, with one hospitalization.

Other states with cases linked to the outbreak are Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota and Washington, according to the FDA.

According to the CDC, symptoms of E. coli caused by the Shiga toxin can include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea that could be bloody and vomiting.

Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps.

This follows an ongoing salmonella outbreak first reported in June linked to jalapeño peppers grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, that has so far sickened more than 400 people across 32 states, according to the CDC.
