A total of 21 people, 13 of them adults and 8 children, are hospitalized in stable condition after suffering food poisoning, likely from salmonella, last weekend at a hotel in La Manga del Mar Menor.
Specifically, 20 patients are hospitalized at the Santa Lucía Hospital in Cartagena, and one, an adult, is at the Virgen de la Arrixaca Hospital in Murcia. This is 12 more than on Monday, when there were 9 patients, according to sources from the Ministry of Health in a statement.
The Epidemiology, Food Safety, and Zoonosis Service and the Public Health laboratories of the General Directorate of Public Health and Addictions continue to investigate this outbreak, in which 146 cases have been detected. To determine the source, the Epidemiology Service has activated the investigation protocol, which includes conducting a study to identify the vehicle of infection , comparing food exposure among those affected with others who consumed food at the same establishment but did not become ill.
The precautionary suspension of the hotel's kitchen remains in effect. The Ministry of Health conducted 2,434 tests during 2024 to prevent, monitor, and detect the presence of salmonella in food throughout the entire processing process until final consumption, representing an increase of more than 28 percent compared to the previous year. The incidence of salmonellosis decreased in 2024, recording 815 cases, 206 fewer than in 2023.
The Ministry of Health has explained that the Region of Murcia has one of the "most comprehensive" epidemiological surveillance systems thanks to the incorporation, starting in 2020, of the Microbiological Information System, which includes both outbreaks and individual cases in the regional reporting system.
"This has allowed for an increase in the capacity to detect cases of this disease , with a consequent increase in the scope of public health measures, both in individual cases and in outbreaks, which entail specific control measures and inspections of food establishments and processing facilities," the same sources added.

The technicians in charge of analyzing the samples have observed signs that the outbreak is related to the spread of salmonella bacteria through cross-contamination, and have found solid evidence to propose opening a disciplinary procedure against the hotel.
