Ministry of Public Health officials have identified food infected with staphylococci bacteria as the cause of the illness that affected a group of British tourists who were staying at the Bahia Principe Rio San Juan resort in the province of Espaillat. Health Minister Bautista Rojas said that he was informed of the situation on Sunday and immediately ordered an investigation. Preliminary reports are that the outbreak could have been caused by Staphylococcus aureus, a leading cause of gastroenteritis resulting from the consumption of contaminated food.
The London Times reports that around 200 tourists have been affected by the spread of the illness, which caused vomiting and diarrhea. Lawyer Sukki Chocar says that some of the visitors have started legal proceedings. Tour operator Thomas Cook has responded by canceling new bookings at the hotel.
