The PBS news video is a couple of months old, but is a decent instructional tool for what various government agencies did during the Great Salmonella Outbreak of 2008.

Have you seen any Salmonella Mississippi G2 in the states? My 7 month old had this and the only information I have found is that it is common in Tasmania. I also have a 2 year old who may have had it but wasn't tested because she was only sick for a day.
