In June 2021, a cluster of seven cases of Campylobacter fetus infections occurred in a rehabilitation center and caused significant morbidity in elderly patients, including five with bacteremia and two with osteoarticular medical device infections. Whole genome sequencing confirmed that the different strains of Campylobacter fetus had a common source, indicating a foodborne outbreak likely caused by the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, such as raw milk cheese from a farm-to-fork strategy.
In June 2021, a cluster of seven cases of Campylobacter fetus infections occurred in a rehabilitation center and caused significant morbidity in elderly patients including five with bacteremia and two with osteoarticular medical device infections. The genetic identity identified by whole genome sequencing of the different Campylobacter fetus strains confirms a common source. This foodborne illness outbreak may have resulted from the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, such as a cow's raw milk cheese resulting from a farm-to-fork strategy.
