Which Products Pose a Risk?

Rosabella Moringa Powder Drug-Resistant Salmonella Outbreak
Health officials confirmed 10 illnesses in eight states: AZ, FL, IA, IL, IN, TN, VA, and WA, but many more people were likely sickened.
DNA fingerprinting tests on the Salmonella Newport cultured from all patients show they match. This means patients were exposed to the same source of contamination. Health officials interviewed eight of the patients; seven reported taking these capsules before they became ill. The FDA and state health departments are working to determine the source of the contamination.
Because all seven cultures of this Salmonella Newport outbreak strain show predicted resistance to 15 common antibiotics, it is considered extensively drug resistant (XDR). This means patients requiring treatment may need a different medicine.
Antibiotic-Resistant Salmonella Newport
This is the first time a U.S. outbreak has been linked to this “extensively drug-resistant strain of Salmonella Newport with an NDM-1 gene,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
XDR Salmonella shows resistance to:
- All first-line antibiotics
- Common alternative antibiotics
May also be resistant to:
- Multiple β-lactam antibiotics
The CDC advises doctors to consult an infectious disease specialist for treatment of patients with XDR Salmonella infections and monitor them for treatment failure.
Salmonella Symptoms
Symptoms of a Salmonella infection usually develop within six to 72 hours and include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal cramps
- Diarrhea that is sometimes bloody
- Fever
