Salmonella Serotypes Associated with Illnesses after Thanksgiving Holiday, United States, 1998-2018.

We sought to determine which Salmonella serotypes cause illness related to the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States and to foods disproportionately eaten then (e.g., turkey). Using routine surveillance for 1998-2018 and a case-crossover design, we found serotype Reading to be most strongly associated with Thanksgiving. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
