Outbreak of Yersinia enterocolitica Serogroup O:9 Infection and Processed Pork, Norway

Abstract

An outbreak involving 11 persons infected with Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 was investigated in Norway in February 2006. A case-control study and microbiologic investigation indicated a ready-to-eat pork product as the probable source. Appropriate control measures are needed to address consumer risk associated with this product.
