Defined as 2 or more cases of similar illness resulting from the ingestion of a common food.
Magnitude may range from 2 local cases to thousands cases in a multi-national level.

Foodborne Disease Outbreak
![Page 3: Salmonella strain typing : An important Tool for the control of food-borne illness](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012922/568163c1550346895dd4e2e3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Culture and isolate Pathogen involved in the outbreak from human, environment, and/or food/water source.
Strain type the bacterial isolates Report to other Public Health agencies and
compare to other isolates.

Role of Public Health Laboratory
![Page 4: Salmonella strain typing : An important Tool for the control of food-borne illness](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012922/568163c1550346895dd4e2e3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Phenotypic or genomic characteristics that helps discriminate the relatedness between isolates of the same species.
Examples of phenotypes: Biotypes, Phage types, Serotypes
Examples of Genotypes: Pulese-Field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), Restriction Fragments Length Polymorphism (RFLP), Multi-loci variable tandem repeats (MLVA)

What is strain typing and why is it necessary?
![Page 5: Salmonella strain typing : An important Tool for the control of food-borne illness](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012922/568163c1550346895dd4e2e3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Causes 1.4 million illnesses and 600 deaths in U.S.
Biochemical tests used for Identification of the genus and subspecies.
Serotyping further differentiate isolate based on the O (somatic) antigen and H (flagellar) antigen
Serotypes are further subtyped by Pulse-Field Gel Electrophoresis.

Title 17, CCR, Section 2505 requires that an isolate of salmonella must be submitted to the local public health laboratory for definitive identification and serotype.
LA PHL still identify all isolates using conventional culture plates and biochemical tests.

Step 1 – Salmonella ID
![Page 7: Salmonella strain typing : An important Tool for the control of food-borne illness](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012922/568163c1550346895dd4e2e3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2 Salmonella species (Enterica and bongori)Salmonella enterica is separated Biochemically into 6 subspecies>99.5% of salmonella isolates belong to enterica ssp. enterica>2,500 serotypes (antigenic formula)> 2,000 serotypes performed annually by LA PHL.

Step 2 -Salmonella Serotyping
![Page 8: Salmonella strain typing : An important Tool for the control of food-borne illness](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012922/568163c1550346895dd4e2e3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Salmonella Serotype is based on the Somatic (O) and Flagellar (H) antigens.
e.g. Salmonella typhimuriumI 4,5,12 : i : 1,2I = subspecies I4,5,12=somatic antigeni = 1st Phase flagellar antigen1,2 = 2nd phase flagellar antigen

Step 3 - PFGE Molecular Subtyping
![Page 13: Salmonella strain typing : An important Tool for the control of food-borne illness](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012922/568163c1550346895dd4e2e3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In 1984, Schwartz and Cantor described pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), introducing a new way to separate DNA. In particular, PFGE resolved extremely large DNA for the first time, raising the upper size limit of DNA separation in agarose from 30-50 kb to well over 10 Mb (10,000 kb).
PFGE is essentially the comparison of large genomic DNA fragments after digestion with a restriction enzyme. Since the bacterial chromosome is typically a circular molecule, this digestion yields several linear molecules of DNA. The basic concept of interpretation of this experiment is the following: if one is comparing two strains that are clonal (i.e. the same strain), the sites at which the restriction enzymes act on the DNA and the length between these sites would be identical. Therefore, after digestion of the DNA and electrophoresis through an agarose gel, if the DNA banding patterns between any two isolates is identical, then these isolates are considered the same strain. Conversely, if two isolates are not the same strain, then the sites at which the restriction enzymes act on the DNA and the length between these sites would be different; thus their DNA banding patterns will be different.

PulseNet is part of CDC and it uses the PFGE data from PulseNet participating labs to identify clusters across state and sometimes across countries. State/Local public health labs, Federal agencies (FDA, USDA, and CDC), and 67 countries all participate and submit their PFGE patterns to identify food borne disease case clusters by PFGE.

Victims recognize the common nature in an acute local outbreak and report to the local Public Health.
Diffuse Outbreaks – laboratory based public health surveillance systems –When data shows a surge of a particular serotype or PFGE pattern that is more frequent than “Baseline”

LAC Salmonella Give outbreak
Salmonella serotype Give : Formula Salmonella enterica I 3,10:l,v:1,7
2 parties with 41 ill reported eating food purchases from a meat market on
2/21/2010.
8 patient specimens were culture positive for salmonella by clinical lab.
LA PHL serotyped all 8 to be salmonella serotype give 56 interviewed and all 41 patients (100%) reported eating canitas, compared to 45%
for the control group (5/11).
Carnitas samples were sent to the LA county PHL and salmonella give was cultured
and isolated.
PFGE confirms the genotype to be identical from the patient isolates.

Public health microbiologists are a select group of professional laboratorians whose comprehensive approach to the identification and characterization of microorganisms of public health significance contributes to the control and prevention of disease.
The microbiologists perform a variety of complex laboratory techniques from traditional isolation methods and fluorescent microscopy to flow cytometry and molecular technology. In testing specimens from human, animal, food, water and dairy products and environmental sources.

Public health microbiologists are active in training laboratory personnel for public health and clinical laboratories. They develop improved laboratory procedures and practices. They provide consultation services to other laboratories and the medical community.
