CAN YOU FIGURE IT OUT? Last week, Colorado State's department of public health was alerted to an unusual cluster of diarrheal illness in Denver. Thus far, 26 cases have been associated with this outbreak. All of the cases submitted fecal samples and cultured positive for the pathogen Salmonella Serotype Infantis. 83% of these cases are children. Safety & Sanitation TM
