The laboratory results essentially confirmed our hypothesis that
this outbreak was due to Staphylococcus aureus and indicated
that
turkey was the source of this agent. As both the isolate from
kitchen worker B (who had scars from recent sores on her hands)
and the turkey were nontypable, we cannot say with certainty that
worker B was the source. However, this is the most likely scenario
we were able to develop and is consistent with reports in the literature.
