Salmonella Enteritidis Multi-cluster linked to travellers returning from Turkey
2 months ago
United Kingdom
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) reports clusters of gastrointestinal illness caused by the Salmonella Enteritidis pathogen in returnees from Turkey, primarily the Antalya region. Approximately 241 cases have been confirmed from January 15 to July 19, 2023.
The multi-cluster outbreak investigation identified 5 closely genetically related strains of Salmonella Enteritidis through whole genome sequencing. The majority of infections were detected from April onward. Out of the 93 confirmed cases, the travelers reportedly stayed in multiple hotels in Turkey, consuming an array of foods as part of all-inclusive holiday packages.
Intensive outbreak investigation efforts led to the discovery of this issue, but the direct source of infection remains undetermined. To prevent further infection, travelers are reminded to maintain hygiene protocols, particularly in handwashing. Food safety is also stressed, with advice to consume freshly prepared, thoroughly cooked foods and peelable fruits, along with pasteurised dairy products. It’s also recommended to limit food preparation when experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms.
UKHSA is working closely with ABTA, Turkish public health officials, and other international health partners to further investigate the sources and causes of these clusters. Collaboration with the National Travel Health Network and Centre ensures updated advice for UK travelers.
In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

My boyfriend and I went to Dine with Orcas at SeaWorld Orlando on December 2, 2023, and we’re 99% sure that he got food poisoning from his meal.

See More started feeling nauseous and vomiting like an hour after we were done with our meal and the symptoms got progressively worst throughout the day. The only conclusion is that he got food poisoning from the salmon, because I do not feel sick. So either the salmon was undercooked or it was left out for too long before it was served. I did notice that the food was a little bit cold by the time it was served to us. | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting See Less
