Surveillance of Waterborne Disease Outbreaks Associated with Drinking Water - United States, 2015-2020
This report summarizes NORS drinking water outbreak epidemiologic, laboratory, and environmental data, including data for both public and private drinking water systems. The report presents outbreak-contributing factors (i.e., practices and factors that lead to outbreaks) and, for the first time, categorizes outbreaks as biofilm pathogen or enteric illness associated.PERIOD COVERED: 2015-2020.DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM: CDC launched NORS in 2009 as a web-based platform into which public health departments voluntarily enter outbreak information. Through NORS, CDC collects reports of enteric disease outbreaks caused by bacterial,...

Tapeworm Infection Diagnosed after Campylobacter jejuni-induced Enteritis
This report presents a rare case of coinfection with Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiensis and Campylobacter jejuni. Therefore, it is important to consider the coexistence of other intestinal infections when diagnosing parasitic infections in patients with fever.PMID:38462514 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.3388-23 (Source: Internal Medicine)

Urbanization influences the indoor transfer of airborne antibiotic resistance genes, which has a seasonally dependent pattern
Environ Int. 2024 Mar 1;185:108545. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108545. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOver the last few years, the cumulative use of antibiotics in healthcare institutions, as well as the rearing of livestock and poultry, has resulted in the accumulation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This presents a substantial danger to human health worldwide. The characteristics of airborne ARGs, especially those transferred from outdoors to indoors, remains largely unexplored in neighborhoods, even though a majority of human population spends most of their time there. We investigated airborne ARGs and mobile gene...

Houpt, Jie Liu, Kerry K. Coope, Margaret N. KosekCampylobacter causes bacterial enteritis, dysentery, and growth faltering in children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).Campylobacter spp. are fastidious organisms, and their detection often relies on culture independent diagnostic technologies, especially in LMICs.Campylobacter jejuni andCampylobacter coli are most often the infectious agents and in high income setting...
