Abstract

In early July 2008, a cluster of six Salmonella Agona was identified in the Republic of Ireland. A dispersed, common source outbreak was suspected. Later in July a further case was identified and the Health Protection Agency in the UK indicated that they had 32 cases of S . Agona since Feb 2008. This chapter discusses how pulsed field gel electrophoresis was used to help confirm an outbreak and to trace the source of the outbreak.
