Mung bean sprouts was caused by a single strain of Salmonella Newport
An outbreak that sickened 126 people in Germany and the Netherlands traced to mung bean sprouts was caused by a single strain of Salmonella Newport.
Researchers said to their knowledge, mung bean sprouts had not been described as the infection vehicle in a Salmonella enterica serovar Newport outbreak to date.
It was the largest S. Newport outbreak ever reported in Germany.
The epidemic curve showed a peak from 21 October to 5 November 2011, which suggested an infection vehicle in circulation for a limited time due to a short shelf-life.
Findings demonstrate that consumption of raw or briefly cooked sprouts is associated with a considerable risk of foodborne illness, according to Rosner et al. (http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=20665)

Diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosis follows testing for salmonella bacteria in the stool. Treatment consists mainly of rehydration therapy to replace lost fluids. No solid food should be eaten during the first 24 hours of being ill.
In severe cases and in babies, hospital admission for fluid replacement by intravenous infusion may be necessary.
Salmonella food poisoning is treated with antibiotics only if the infection has spread to the bloodstream.
