PulseNet International Collaboration Centre Message posted in forum "Outbreaks and Urgent Notifications". AUTHOR: Jeniffer Concepcion-Acevedo Shigella sonnei Illness Associated with International Traveling Hello all: In coordination with state and local health departments, CDC is investigating a cluster of 93 cases of illness caused by Shigella sonnei among residents of 29 states or territories. Cases are associated with PulseNet outbreak 1407MLJ16-2, Xbal pattern J16X01.0232. Of the 93 patients involved in this cluster, travel information is available for 54 patients. Fifty-seven percent (31/54) of patients traveled internationally before their illness. Travel destinations included the Dominican Republic or Haiti (n=19); India (n=7), and Morocco (n=2), the Russian Federation n=(1), Turkey (n=1), and the United Kingdom (n=1).?? Onset dates of confirmed cases range from May 10 to December 10, 2014.?Ages ranged from 1-82 years (median=34); 45% were female.?Ten patients have been hospitalized; no deaths have been reported. No single source has been identified. Nalidixic acid and/or fluoroquinolone resistance has been reported among isolates associated with this cluster. I have included here TIFF files with the PFGE pattern and a bundle file with additional details. We appreciate if you could investigate possible matches in your databases.

AUTHOR: Jeniffer Concepcion-Acevedo International Salmonella Javiana cluster associate with cucumber consumption In coordination with US health departments and Canada, CDC is investigating a cluster of 36 cases of illness caused by Salmonella Javiana with onsets from October 25 2014 to December 26, 2014. Cases are associated with PulseNet outbreak 1412MLJGG-1 and Xbal patterns JGGX01.0097, JGGX01.2310, and JGGX01.2198. The age range is 2-86 with a median of 18 and 61% of cases are female.? Currently, 86% of our cases are reporting exposures to cucumbers. Canada has 12 cases and many of them also report cucumbers consumption. I have included here whole genome sequencing information, TIFF files with the PFGE pattern and a bundle file with additional details. We appreciate if you could investigate possible matches in your databases. ? PFGE XbaI patters: NY15014, lane 3----> JGGX01.0097 NJ15003,lane 7-----> JGGX01.2310 FNW14034, lane 5 ---->JGGX01.2198 ?
