1 WHO Surveillance Programme for Control of Foodborne Infections and Intoxications in Europe Country Reports: Austria BfR AUSTRIA Population 1999: Population 2: Area: km 2 1. General information 1.1 Reporting In Austria (country abbreviation: AT), notification of disease outbreaks in humans is regulated by the Austrian Epidemic Act, BGBl. Nr. 186/195 idgf. Both confirmed and suspected cases of diseases and deaths due to cholera, bacterial foodborne disease, typhoid and paratyphoid fever, shigellosis, and trichinellosis are considered notifiable diseases. Since June 1996, official reports on bacterial foodborne diseases have provided specifications in regard to causative agents (e.g. Campylobacter, Salmonella, Yersinia enterocolitica, etc.). The attending physician is obliged to report these notifiable diseases to the local health authority (Bezirksverwaltungsbehörde) within 24 hours. Their reports are forwarded to the state health authority (Landessanitätsdirektion) and submitted monthly to the Ministry of Social Security and Generations. 1.2 Preventive and control measures Each incident or suspected case of a notifiable disease must be investigated epidemiologically. The competent authorities, assisted by physicians at their disposal, must undertake without delay investigations and collection of samples necessary for the diagnosis of the disease. In the case of bacterial foodborne diseases, a close check-up of the food establishments concerned comprises part of the epidemiological investigation, and samples are taken jointly with the local food controlling authority and the trade board (Marktamt).
2 1.3 Control of food handlers According to the Act on the Health Control of Food-handlers, only persons certified by an authorised medical officer to be free from acute and chronic infectious disease, parasites and otherwise objectionable medical conditions are allowed to work in food establishments. Food handlers must undergo a medical examination prior to and at defined intervals during their employment. 1.4 Salmonella surveillance In 1954, the Salmonella Centre was founded at the Federal Institute for Bacteriology and Serology in Vienna (Bundesstaatliche bakteriologisch-serologische Untersuchungsanstalt Wien). In 1965 it moved to the Federal Institute for Bacteriology and Serology in Graz (now part of the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety ). The Centre receives Salmonella strains from the entire territory of the Federal Republic for identification. The isolates originate from investigations carried out according to the Act on the Excretion of Bacteria, as well as from examinations of sick persons and their environment and also include non-human sources (e.g. foods, feeds, water, sewage, animals). An overview of Austrian reference centers and the diseases under their supervision is given in Table AT 1.

4 The foodborne disease with the highest incidence notified in 1999 and 2 was salmonellosis, followed by campylobacteriosis (Table AT 2). The number of notifications of campylobacteriosis cases has gradually increased in recent years, reflecting an improvement in the surveillance of campylobacter rather than a true rise in human infections. An overview of the number of cases of foodborne diseases notified in Austria in the period 1993 to 2 is given in Figures AT 1 and 2.

In 9 % of these cases, S. Enteritidis was isolated. S. Typhimurium was responsible for about 5% of the cases serotyped in both years (Table AT 3). An overview of the frequency of Salmonella serotypes isolated from 1993 to 2 is given in Figures AT 3 and 4.

Epidemiologically investigated incidents As in previous years, data from investigations of foodborne disease outbreaks in Austria 1999 and 2 is only available for those outbreaks caused by Salmonella sp. For 1999, 12 salmonellosis outbreaks with a total of 281 cases were reported; in 2, details of eight salmonellosis outbreaks involving 123 cases were provided. 3.1 Causative agents The most frequently isolated serotype in foodborne salmonellosis outbreaks reported in 1999 and 2 was S. Enteritidis (1 % in 1999 and 87.5 % in 2). S. Typhimurium accounted for 12.5 % of salmonellosis outbreaks investigated in 2 (Table AT 4).

A total of 64 salmonellosis outbreaks were reported to the Salmonella Reference Center during that period. In each year, the predominant serotype was S. Enteritidis.

Eggs and egg products were most frequently registered as being responsible for the outbreak in both years; this coincides with the frequency of S. Enteritidis (Table AT 5)

A quarter of the reported outbreaks occurred in the private home, whereas 5% occurred in the restaurant sector, schools and kindergartens (Table AT 6).
