abstract: In total were registered 30,515 cases of bacterial foodborne infections and intoxications (salmonelloses of animal source, staphylococcal, botulism, other bacterial and caused by undetermined agents) in 1998. Morbidity amounted 78.9/100,000. In 399 outbreaks of collective illnesses (4 people and more) 8225 cases were registered altogether. S. Enteritidis caused 92.5% cases in outbreaks. The main vehicle of foodborne infections and intoxications in outbreaks was food prepared from raw materials of animal source, which caused 86.8% cases in outbreaks. Dishes from eggs brought about 45.5% of these cases. Among the places of the ready made food production, private homes prevailed (58.1% of the whole amount of outbreaks). Seven epidemics numbering above 100 cases each were registered in 1998.
