Modelling counterfactual incidence during the transition towards culture-independent diagnostic testing Open
Background Culture-independent diagnostic testing (CIDT) provides rapid results to clinicians and is quickly displacing traditional detection methods. Increased CIDT use and sensitivity likely result in higher case detection but might also…

Changing Diagnostic Testing Practices for Foodborne Pathogens, Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, 2012–2019 Open
Background 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…

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Outbreaks in the United States, 2010–2017 Open
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause illnesses ranging from mild diarrhea to ischemic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS); serogroup O157 is the most common cause. We describe the epidemiology and transmission routes…

Disparities in Incidence and Severity of <i>Shigella</i> Infections Among Children—Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), 2009-2018 Open
Background Shigella infections are an important cause of diarrhea in young children and can result in severe complications. Disparities in Shigella infections are well documented among US adults. Our objective was to characterize dispariti…

Outbreaks Associated with Untreated Recreational Water — California, Maine, and Minnesota, 2018–2019 Open
Outbreaks associated with fresh or marine (i.e., untreated) recreational water can be caused by pathogens or chemicals, including toxins. Voluntary reporting of these outbreaks to CDC's National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) began in 20…

Preliminary Incidence and Trends of Infections with Pathogens Transmitted Commonly Through Food — Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, 10 U.S. Sites, 2016–2019 Open
To evaluate progress toward prevention of enteric illnesses, the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) of CDC's Emerging Infections Program monitors the incidence of laboratory-diagnosed infections caused by eight pathog…

Preliminary incidence and trends of infections with pathogens transmitted commonly through food — Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, 10 U.S. sites, 2015–2018 Open
Foodborne diseases present a major health problem in the United States in general, and transplant patients are at a higher risk from pathogens than the general population. Foodborne diseases present a major health problem in the United Sta…

Preliminary Incidence and Trends of Infections with Pathogens Transmitted Commonly Through Food — Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, 10 U.S. Sites, 2015–2018 Open
Foodborne diseases represent a major health problem in the United States. The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) of CDC's Emerging Infections Program monitors cases of laboratory-diagnosed infection caused by eight pa…
View article: 1759. High Proportion of Discordant Results in Culture-Independent Diagnostic Tests (CIDT) for Shiga Toxin, Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), 2012−2017
1759. High Proportion of Discordant Results in Culture-Independent Diagnostic Tests (CIDT) for Shiga Toxin, Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), 2012−2017 Open
Background FoodNet conducts active laboratory-based surveillance for 9 pathogens transmitted commonly through food, including Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Adoption of CIDTs has allowed for rapid identification of Shiga toxin or Sh…

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Characterization and Comparison to Similar Illnesses in a Highly Endemic Area—Arizona, 2002–2011 Open
RMSF epidemiology in this region appears different than RMSF elsewhere in the United States. No specific pattern of signs, symptoms, or laboratory findings occurred with enough frequency to consistently differentiate RMSF from other illnes…

Risk Factors for Fatal Outcome From Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in a Highly Endemic Area—Arizona, 2002–2011 Open
Earlier treatment with doxycycline can decrease morbidity and mortality from RMSF in this region. Recognition of risk factors associated with doxycycline delay and fatal outcome, such as early gastrointestinal symptoms and a history of alc…
