Incidence and Trends of Infection with Pathogens Transmitted Commonly Through Food — Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, 10 Sites, 2006–2013
The partnership of state public health and
community organizations can play an Progress in preventing foodborne illnesses
has been limited. Salmonella infections decreased slightly in 2013 compared
with the preceding 3 years, and are back to levels seen in 2006–2008. The
frequency of most other infections tracked in Foodborne Diseases
Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet)
has not changed much at all; however, Vibrio infections increased in 2013.
These findings highlight the need to continue to identify and address food
safety gaps that can be targeted for action.Foodborne diseases
continue to be an important public health problem in the United States.
Progress in preventing these infections has been limited in recent years, as
evidenced by a modest decrease in the incidence of Salmonella and an increase in incidence of Vibrio. FoodNet, a
foodborne disease surveillance component of CDC's Emerging Infections Program,
conducts surveillance in 10 U.S. sites for all laboratory-confirmed infections
caused by selected pathogens transmitted commonly through food to help assess
whether efforts to decrease illnesses are succeeding. This report describes
2013 surveillance data and trends since 2006; the information contributes to
our understanding of the human health impact of foodborne diseases.
