  • Title: An outbreak of food-borne Campylobacter jejuni infection and the possible role of cross-contamination.
    Author: Brown P, Kidd D, Riordan T, Barrell RA.
    Journal: J Infect; 1988 Sep; 17(2):171-6. PubMed ID: 3183409.
    Abstract:
    A point-source outbreak or campylobacter infection affected 24 of 51 delegates attending a business lunch. Failure to detect any specific vehicle for the infection led to observations of kitchen practice. Experiments demonstrated that cross-contamination as a result of handling raw and cooked food consecutively was a possible cause of the outbreak.
