The cases are sporadic and not linked to a common group or event. Preliminary reports suggest an association of illness with pre-packaged salads. Investigators identified cases by hospital and laboratory reports. Interviews were conducted on 60 patients found with laboratory confirmed listeriosis and 90 well people from randomly selected households. Case-patients and well people were similar with respect to age, sex, and level of education. Forty-five (45) people with listeriosis reported consuming pre-packaged salad. Nine (19) well people reported consuming pre-packaged salad. 2x2 table + - Total + A B A+B - C D C+D Total A+C B+D A+B+C+D List the values for each cell: A, B, C, D, A+B, C+D, A+C, B+D, A+B+C+D…arrow_forwardA) A short paragraph on the habitat of the organism.
