Abstract

During an insidious outbreak of salmonellosis in a long-term care facility, residents who were treated with acid-suppressing medications were 8 times more likely than other residents to develop Salmonella infection. Among vulnerable populations, the risks and benefits of acid-suppressing medications should be considered carefully before use.
