| Abstract: | TO THE EDITOR: Infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Agbeni is rare. In Canada, it was reported 8 times during 2000-2010 and never in the province of British Columbia (2011 population?4.5 million) (Public Health Agency of Canada, unpub. data). In June 2011, an outbreak of S. enterica ser. Agbeni affecting 8 persons was identified in British Columbia; pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns for all isolates were identical. Although no specific source was identified, 2 features were noted: 1) diagnosis through urine specimens for 3 of 8 persons and 2) a longer than typical incubation period for Salmonella spp. infection. |
