title: Pathogen: clinical or host-associated sample from Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis RM2969
organism: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis
description: In 2000 to 2001 and 2005 to 2006, outbreaks involving Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis PT30 were linked with the consumption of raw almonds and raw tomatoes. During the outbreaks, S. Enteritidis PT30 was isolated from clinical samples in the United States, Canada, and Sweden. The raw almonds and tomatoes were traced back to specific almond orchards and a specific tomato grower in California. During the traceback analysis and a 5-year sampling of these almond orchards, S. Enteritidis PT30 was also isolated from almond hulling equipment, orchard soil and orchard almonds.
