    Abstract:
    In outbreaks of foodborne infections and intoxications in 1985-1999 in Poland among salmonellas S. Enteritidis amounted for 84.9% in 1986 and 97.8% in 1991-1992. In 1985-1999, among the total number of diseases in outbreaks most of the cases occurred after eating of the dishes made from eggs (over 50%). In 1987-1999, food prepared in private homes had the largest influence on the occurrence of the outbreaks (up to 65.4% of outbreaks). The private homes were also the most frequent places of the consumption of that food. Contamination of the ready-made dishes was found to be due to the raw materials, mainly eggs coming from private farms. In Poland and in neighboring countries Salmonella of animal's source determines the epidemiological situation of foodborne infections and intoxications.
