據美國食品安全新聞網消息，20日美國疾控中心公布了2014年馬里蘭州的黃瓜沙門氏菌疫情數據，數據顯示該起疫情導致275人感染，1人死亡。
美國疾控中心于八月份發起了調查。調查顯示致病菌株為紐波特沙門氏菌。該菌株曾在2006-2007年間導致弗吉尼亞州的番茄受污染，并引發疫情。

At least 275 people in 29 states and Washington, D.C., were sickened and one man died in a Salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers grown in the Delmarva region of Maryland, according to a report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC） published Friday.
This is the first public mention of the outbreak, which occurred between May 20 and Sept. 30, 2014.
CDC began investigating the outbreak in August, when a cluster of Salmonella Newport illnesses showed up on PulseNet, the national database of transmittable diseases. Salmonella with that particular genetic code last appeared on PulseNet in an outbreak from 2006-2007 linked to tomatoes grown in the Delmarva region of Virginia.
