BACKGROUND: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an uncommon, sporadic disease and outbreaks are rare. In November 2013, outbreak of SJS was identified at Children’s Hospital Colorado. METHODS: Outbreak cases were children aged 5–21 with a discharge diagnosis admitted from September 1 to 30, 2013. Medical charts reviewed using standardized data collection forms. Respiratory specimens tested for viruses Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We conducted separate 4-year...
Campylobacter causes an estimated 1.3 million diarrheal illnesses in the United States annually (1). In August 2017, Florida Department of Health notified CDC six jejuni infections linked to company A, a national pet store chain based Ohio. examined whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data and identified isolates from A puppies that were highly related isolate customer This information prompted multistate investigation by local state health agriculture departments identify outbreak source prevent...
Ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (Typhi), the bacterium that causes typhoid fever, is a growing public health threat. Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) resistant to ceftriaxone and other antibiotics used for treatment, including ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (1). In March 2018, CDC began enhanced surveillance ceftriaxone-resistant in response an ongoing outbreak of XDR fever Pakistan. had previously reported first five cases...
More than 7.15 million cases of domestically acquired infectious waterborne illnesses occurred in the United States 2014, causing 120,000 hospitalizations and 6,600 deaths. We estimated disease incidence for 17 pathogens according to recreational, drinking, nonrecreational nondrinking (NRND) water exposure routes by using previously published estimates. In a total 5.61 (95% credible interval [CrI] 2.97-9.00 million) were linked recreational water, 1.13 CrI 255,000-3.54 drinking 407,000...
In September 2018, CDC identified Salmonella enterica serotype Newport (Newport) infections that were multidrug resistant (MDR), with decreased susceptibility to azithromycin, a recommended oral treatment agent. Until 2017, azithromycin had occurred in fewer than 0.5% of isolates from U.S. residents. This report summarizes the investigation multistate MDR outbreak conducted by CDC, state and local health departments, Department Agriculture's Food Safety Inspection Service. During June...
In August 2016, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services notified U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg infections in people who reported contact with dairy calves. Federal state partners investigated this to identify source scope outbreak prevent further illnesses. Cases were defined as human infection caused by a strain that had one seven pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns or was related whole...
In the US, yersinosis was understood to predominantly occur in winter and among Black or African American infants Asian children. Increased use of culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDTs) has led marked increases diagnoses. We describe differences epidemiology yersiniosis diagnosed by CIDT versus culture 10 US sites, identify determinants health associated with method. Annual reported incidence increased from 0.3/100 000 2010 1.3/100 2021, particularly adults ≥18 years, regardless race...
In the United States, typhoid vaccination is recommended for international travelers to areas with a recognized risk of exposure. Using MarketScan® Commercial Database from 2016 through 2022, we estimated costs by route (injectable vs. oral) and provider setting (clinic pharmacy). Of 165,930 vaccinated individuals, 99,471 received injectable 66,459 oral vaccines, 88% 17% respectively administered at clinics. Average were $132.91 per person [95% confidence interval (CI): $132.68-$133.13],...
Abstract Background Campylobacter is the leading cause of enteric bacterial infections in United States, causing an estimated 1.5 million illnesses annually. Antimicrobial therapy can reduce duration illness and limit complications; macrolides fluoroquinolones are typically recommended as first- second-line treatment, respectively. The Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) investigates emerging resistance strains to identify potential sources collaborate on approaches its spread....
Salmonella serovar Kentucky is frequently isolated from chickens and dairy cattle, but recovery humans comparatively low based on the U.S. National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) reports. We aimed to better describe genetic diversity, antimicrobial resistance, virulence determinants of isolates humans, food animal ceca, retail meat poultry products, imported foods other samples. analyzed genomes 774 found that 63% (54/86) human were sequence type (ST)198, 33% (29/86)...
