Article Synopsis
- An outbreak of campylobacteriosis in Pescara, Italy, affected students and staff from several kindergartens and primary schools in May-June 2018, leading to an epidemiological and microbiological investigation to identify its cause.
- A case-control study conducted with 176 cases and 62 controls found that the highest infection rate occurred on May 29, primarily linked to 'caciotta' cheese consumed during school lunches.
- Genomic analysis confirmed that the strains isolated from infected individuals and the cheese matched, suggesting that the cheese was the source of the outbreak, likely due to a pasteurization failure.
