Summary

The number of isolates (n=146) showed a decrease in
comparison with February 2008 (n = 162). The ongoing outbreak of S.
Typhimurium phage type 1 resulted in a further 23 isolates being confirmed this
month (5 in February 2008). Molecular
typing of the isolate identified two separate outbreaks of S. Typhimurium phage type 1: one centered in Auckland and the second
one in the Gisborne area. Uncommon New Zealand
serotypes identified this month included S. Kiambu (2 human isolates
since 2002) and Indiana
(3 human isolates since 2002).
