Microbiological Evidence May Prove Salmonella Outbreak
Newlyweds Taylor and Kyle Walker are doing their own investigation into a possible Salmonella outbreak involving their wedding guests. According to an interview of the couple on KTVB, the Boise, Idaho wedding reception included cascading fruit displays that contained cantaloupe purchased at Costco. In the days following the wedding, Costco called the wedding caterer and warned her that she had purchased a large quantity of cantaloupe that may have been contaminated with Salmonella Panama.
Taylor and Kyle Walker think that was the case and have done their own epidemiological study to help prove it, texting and calling guests to find out what they ate at the wedding. For legal claims, it is important to have microbiological evidence that supports the epidemiological evidence. Microbiological evidence includes a diagnosis of Salmonella Panama. Anyone still suffering from the symptoms of Salmonella who has not been specifically diagnosed should see a medical professional immediately. PFGE analysis should then be done . Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is the DNA "fingerprinting" method that scientists use to determine the source of bacterial foodborne outbreaks.
