Your latest case is an incidence of food poisoning in a fast food restaurant. 5 people have been hospitalized for food poisoning, so you are working with that hospital to identify the source of the outbreak. Hospital clinicians have taken samples from each of the 5 patients for culturing. Each bacterial culture grew one likely microbe, each labelled P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5. All 5 isolates appear to have the same colony morphology on the plates, and all appear to be Gram-negative rods 1 micron wide and 3 microns long under the microscope. In addition, all 5 isolates appear to perform the same on an API 20E test strip that tests bacteria for 20 biochemical abilities. No other testing has been done yet.
