Consumer alert: An antibiotic-resistant strain of salmonella is sickening people who eat contaminated beef and unpasteurized soft Mexican cheese, U.S. health officials warned Thursday.
Among the 255 patients, 60 were hospitalized and two died, Plumb said. The patients who died had other illnesses, but salmonella was a factor in their deaths, he said.
"We underestimate the number of salmonella infections out there, and it's quite possible that there were many more cases that for whatever reason didn't make it to the local public health departments, and that's what we expect," he said. One expert not involved with the report thinks that preventing the growth of antibiotic-resistant salmonella bacteria has to start at the source -- the farm.
