Description:
For the Month of February 1968

This issue of the SalmoneLla Surveillance Report includes reports of three outbreaks, a preliminary study of salmonella contamination in broilers, a survey of dry milk plants, and a study of salmonellae in further processed turkey products.

In February 1968, 1,161 isolations of salmonellae were reported from humans, an average of 290 isolations per week (Tables I, II, and V-A). This number represents an increase of 18 (6.6 percent) over the weekly average of January 1968 and a decrease of 6 (2.0 percent) from the weekly average of February 1967.

Reports of 1,036 nonhuman isolations of salmonellae were received during February, an increase of 457 (78.9 percent) over January 1968 (Tables III, IV, and V-B). The marked increase in nonhuman isolations represents reports from January received too late to be included in the January issue.
