To evaluate progress toward prevention of enteric illnesses, the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) CDC's Emerging Infections Program monitors incidence laboratory-diagnosed infections caused by eight pathogens transmitted commonly through food at 10 U.S. sites.* This report summarizes preliminary 2019 data and describes changes in compared with that during 2016-2018. The these reported FoodNet sites continued to increase or remained unchanged, indicating controlling...
Each year, infections from major foodborne pathogens are responsible for an estimated 9.4 million illnesses, 56,000 hospitalizations, and 1,350 deaths in the United States (1). To evaluate progress toward prevention of enteric States, Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) conducts surveillance laboratory-diagnosed caused by eight transmitted commonly through food at 10 U.S. sites. During 2020-2021, FoodNet detected decreases many that were due to behavioral modifications,...
Foodborne illnesses are a substantial and largely preventable public health problem; before 2020 the incidence of most infections transmitted commonly through food had not declined for many years. To evaluate progress toward prevention foodborne in United States, Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) CDC's Emerging Infections Program monitors laboratory-diagnosed caused by eight pathogens reported 10 U.S. sites.* FoodNet is collaboration among CDC, state departments, Department...
To evaluate progress toward prevention of enteric infections in the United States, Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) conducts active population-based surveillance for laboratory-diagnosed caused by Campylobacter, Cyclospora, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia at 10 U.S. sites. This report summarizes preliminary 2021 data describes changes annual incidence compared with average 2016-2018, reference period...
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...
is the most common cause of bacterial diarrhea in United States; resistance to macrolides and fluoroquinolones limits treatment options. We examined epidemiology US
In July 2019, we investigated a cluster of Yersinia enterocolitica cases affecting youth summer camp and nearby community in northeastern Pennsylvania. After initial telephone interviews with owners members, identified pasteurized milk from small dairy conducting on-site pasteurization, Dairy A, as shared exposure. We conducted site visits at the A where collected other samples. Samples were cultured for Y. enterocolitica. Clinical nonclinical isolates compared using molecular subtyping....
Pathogen detection has changed with increased use of culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDTs). CIDTs do not yield isolates, which are necessary to detect outbreaks using whole-genome sequencing. The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) monitors clinical laboratory testing practices improve interpretation surveillance data and assess availability isolates. We describe changes in over 8 years.During 2012-2019, 10 FoodNet sites collected standardized about laboratories...
The relationships between socioeconomic status and domestically acquired salmonellosis leading Salmonella serotypes are poorly understood.We analyzed surveillance data from laboratory-confirmed cases of 2010-2016 for all 10 Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) sites, having a catchment population 47.9 million. Case residential were geocoded, linked to census tract poverty level, then categorized into 4 groups according level. After excluding those reporting international...
Shigella infections are an important cause of diarrhea in young children and can result severe complications. Disparities well documented among US adults. Our objective was to characterize disparities incidence severity children.We analyzed laboratory-diagnosed reported FoodNet, active, population-based surveillance system 10 sites, during 2009-2018. We calculated the rate stratified by sex, age, race/ethnicity, species, disease severity. Criteria for classification were hospitalization,...
Abstract Background Culture-independent diagnostic testing (CIDT) provides rapid results to clinicians and is quickly displacing traditional detection methods. Increased CIDT use sensitivity likely result in higher case but might also obscure infection trends. Severe illness outcomes, such as hospitalization death, are less affected by changes practices can be used indicators of the expected incidence trend had methods not changed. Methods Using US Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance...
Abstract Background Nontyphoidal Salmonella causes an estimated 1.35 million US infections annually. Antimicrobial-resistant strains are a serious public health threat. We examined the association between resistance and clinical outcomes of hospitalization, length-of-stay ≥3 days, death. Methods linked epidemiologic data from Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network with antimicrobial National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) for nontyphoidal 2004 to 2018. defined any...
In low- to medium-income homes, indoor air quality is a significant factor with regards both respiratory and overall health. this paper, we discuss proof-of-concept design that provides an open-hardware/open-software solution for the monitoring of in new existing homes. Our commitment open hardware challenges traditional approach environmental sensing, difficulties encountered our work suggest critical strategies those who would pursue similar or related areas research.
Abstract This brief methods paper is being published concomitantly with “Preliminary Incidence and Trends of Infections Caused by Pathogens Transmitted Commonly Through Food— Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, 10 U.S. Sites, 2016–2021” in Morbidity Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR). That article describes the application new model described here to analyze trends evaluate progress towards prevention infection from enteric pathogens United States.
