葡萄球菌食物中毒是食源性疾病的常见原因。在澳大利亚，自 2000 年以来，OzFoodNet 报告的食源性金黄色葡萄球菌疫情中，约 30% 与商业餐饮服务商制备的食品有关。我们对 2012 年 6 月一场精英体育赛事的参加者中爆发的胃肠道疾病进行了回顾性队列分析，当时有 22 人在吃了商业提供的自助晚餐后生病。所有人都回忆起当天早些时候吃过午餐的炒饭，22 人中有 20 人报告说吃了炒鸡肉。尽管没有可供分析的食物样本，但对四份粪便样本进行的实验室分析结果显示，一份样本中培养出金黄色葡萄球菌，另一份样本中检测到金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素。已知的葡萄球菌食物中毒流行病学表明，受感染的食品处理人员污染的食品可能导致了疫情的爆发。由于金黄色葡萄球菌食源性暴发经常被低估，这项调查对于金黄色葡萄球菌和葡萄球菌肠毒素引起的食源性疾病的证据基础和理解做出了宝贵的贡献。
Staphylococcal food poisoning is a common cause of foodborne illness. In Australia, since 2000, approximately 30% of foodborne Staphylococcus aureus outbreaks reported to OzFoodNet have been associated with foods prepared by commercial caterers. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness among participants of an elite sporting event during which 22 individuals became ill after eating a commercially catered buffet dinner in June 2012. All recalled eating fried rice which had been intended for lunch service earlier that day and 20 of the 22 reported eating chicken stir-fry. Though no food samples were available for analysis, laboratory analysis conducted on four faecal specimens resulted in S. aureus being cultured from one specimen and S. aureus enterotoxin detected in another. The known epidemiology of staphylococcal food poisoning suggests a food contaminated by an infected food handler which was subject to temperature abuse may have caused the outbreak. As S. aureus foodborne outbreaks are often underreported, this investigation is a valuable contribution to the evidence-base and understanding of foodborne illness due to S. aureus and staphylococcal enterotoxin.
