STOCKHOLM, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- Infected chicken meat is suspected to be the source of salmonella outbreaks in 11 European countries, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said on Wednesday.
At least 134 cases, including one fatality, had been identified, most of them reported between January and August, the ECDC said in a press release, adding that the majority of the tested isolates displayed genetic changes causing resistance to ciprofloxacin, a common antibiotic for severe salmonella infections.
