A prolonged outbreak of streptococcal infection among workers at a meat plant.
We describe an outbreak of skin sepsis due to an erythromycin-resistant strain of Streptococcus pyogenes in workers at a meat plant. The outbreak began among butchers in the boning room but subsequently spread to other groups of workers in the plant. Despite the introduction of additional control measures, the outbreak persisted for 7 months and affected 46/194 staff with 'hands on' occupations...
متن کاملInvestigation of a Q fever outbreak in a Scottish co-located slaughterhouse and cutting plant.
Outbreaks of Q fever are rare in the UK. In 2006, the largest outbreak of Q fever in Scotland occurred at a co-located slaughterhouse and cutting plant with 110 cases. Preliminary investigations pointed to the sheep lairage being the potential source of exposure to the infective agent. A retrospective cohort study was carried out among workers along with environmental sampling to guide public h...
متن کاملThe characterization and incidence of pale, soft, and exudative broiler meat in a commercial processing plant.
Pale, soft, exudative (PSE) turkey meat is a growing problem for the industry of further processed poultry meat. The low pH condition due to rapid glycolysis while the body temperature is still high leads to protein denaturation, causing pale color and reduced water-holding capacity. This condition impacts product yield and quality. These studies were designed to estimate the incidence of PSE b...
متن کاملClinical investigation of an outbreak of alveolitis and asthma in a car engine manufacturing plant.
BACKGROUND Exposure to metal working fluid (MWF) has been associated with outbreaks of extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) in the USA, with bacterial contamination of MWF being a possible cause, but is uncommon in the UK. Twelve workers developed EAA in a car engine manufacturing plant in the UK, presenting clinically between December 2003 and May 2004. This paper reports the subsequent epidemi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antifungal Effect of Gaseous Ozone in a Meat Processing Plant
Ozone is already known as effective food/environmental disinfection agent, thanks to its oxidative action towards microbial cell components. Bactericidal effect of ozone is well documented, while data concerning its inhibitory activity towards fungi are still ambiguous. Our study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of gaseous ozone towards potentially contaminant fungi in a meat product...
