T1 - Timeliness of Enteric Disease Surveillance in 6 US States T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2008 VL - 14 IS - 2 SP - 311 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We reviewed timeline information for a sample of Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Campylobacter spp., and Escherichia coli O157:H7 cases and all confirmed foodborne outbreaks reported in 6 states during 2002. Increasing the timeliness of case follow-up, molecular subtyping, and linkage of results are critical to reducing delays in the investigation of foodborne outbreaks.
