Veterinarians who encounter a patient that has eaten peanut butter or peanut-containing products and has signs of a Salmonella infection are encouraged to report the information to their state and send samples.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asks that suspected or confirmed cases ofSalmonella infection be reported to determine whether an animal is infected with the outbreak strain,Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. This can be done by contacting a regional Food and Drug Administration consumer complaint coordinator. For a state-by-state listing of coordinators, go towww.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/complain.html.
The CDC also advises reporting any incidence to a state veterinarian or state public health veterinarian; see links at www.avma.org/aa/peanut_butter_recall.asp. The product manufacturer should also be contacted.
