Comparing Sporadic and Outbreak-associated Foodborne Illness
نویسنده
چکیده
[Eric Ebel] This project was inspired by a manuscript written by John Painter and others at the CDC – that was eventually published in EID in 2013. That paper estimated the fraction of different microbial illnesses that were attributed to different food categories. For example, it provided an estimate of what fraction of Salmonella illnesses were associated with consumption of poultry, beef, pork, dairy, and other general types of foods.

Comparing Characteristics of Sporadic and Outbreak-Associated Foodborne Illnesses, United States, 2004–2011
Outbreak data have been used to estimate the proportion of illnesses attributable to different foods. Applying outbreak-based attribution estimates to nonoutbreak foodborne illnesses requires an assumption of similar exposure pathways for outbreak and sporadic illnesses. This assumption cannot be tested, but other comparisons can assess its veracity. Our study compares demographic, clinical, te...
متن کاملEating in restaurants: a risk factor for foodborne disease?
Foodborne disease is a common, but preventable, burden of illness worldwide. Almost one-half of every dollar spent on food in the United States is spent on food from restaurants. A growing body of data from foodborne disease outbreaks and studies of sporadic (non-outbreak-associated) gastrointestinal disease of various etiologies suggest that eating food prepared in restaurants is an important ...
متن کاملOutbreak-associated Salmonella enterica Serotypes
Outbreak data and case–control studies have linked some serotypes to certain foods or exposures. Information obtained during outbreak investigation is a key tool in understanding which foods are common sources of pathogens contributing to foodborne infections. During outbreak investigations, illnesses can be linked to a particular food by using epidemiologic or laboratory evidence. We analyzed ...
متن کاملMultiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis for strain discrimination of non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.
Non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are foodborne pathogens of growing concern worldwide that have been associated with several recent multistate and multinational outbreaks of foodborne illness. Rapid and sensitive molecular-based bacterial strain discrimination methods are critical for timely outbreak identification and contaminated food source traceback. One such method, m...
متن کاملCase-control studies of sporadic enteric infections complement information from outbreak investigations.
For example, a case-control study of sporadic infections enabled an unprecedented response time during the large U.S. listeriosis outbreak in 2011. Data collected by the Listeria Initiative led to the identification of an association with cantaloupe within days rather than weeks or months (CDC, 2011a). We estimate that the commercial recall of the implicated cantaloupe just 12 days from outbrea...
