A large food-borne outbreak of campylobacteriosis in kindergartens and primary schools in Pescara, Italy, May-June 2018.
Conclusion. It is plausible that a failure of the pasteurization process contributed to the contamination of the cheese batches. Timely suspension of the catering service and summer closure of the schools prevented further spread.
