SIERRA VISTA, AZ — In the past week and a half, seven confirmed salmonella cases have been reported in the Sierra Vista area. Health officials have not been able to identify the source of the outbreak.
“We’re investigating the problem to get as much information as possible and we’ve been reporting it to the state,” said Karla Jensen, spokeswoman for the county health department. “People are filling out
information forms for us and the state is helping with the investigation.” Of the seven cases, two have been serotyped as Oranienburg, the same kind of salmonella that had been reported in another outbreak during the fall months. The other five cases have been serotyped as Enteridis, Jensen said.
