Case-control study of Salmonella Serogroups B and D, 1996
In 1996, FoodNet conducted a case-control study to identify risk factors for non-typhoidal Salmonella serogroup B or D infection. Reptile contact was associated with infection, and breast feeding protected against it. Eating chicken and undercooked eggs were associated with Salmonella serotype Enteritidis and Salmonella serotype Heidelberg infections. Antimicrobial use in the month before illness was associated with multi drug-resistant Salmonella serotype Typhimurium DT104 infection.

Cohort study of Salmonella Typhi, 2002
In 2002, FoodNet conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine the impact on clinical outcome of reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones in Salmonella serotype Typhi infection. Results showed that patients infected with a strain with reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones had more prolonged fever and more frequent treatment failure.

Case-control study of Salmonella serotypes Enteritidis and Newport, 2002
In 2002, FoodNet conducted a case-control study of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) and Salmonella Newport infections. Among persons who had not recently traveled internationally, SE infections were associated with eating chicken prepared outside the home and undercooked eggs inside the home. SE infections were also associated with contact with birds and reptiles. Infection with Salmonella serotype Newport strains resistant to third generation cephaolosporin antimicrobial agents was associated with eating undercooked eggs and beef.

Case-control Study of Salmonella in Infants, 2002
In 2002, FoodNet conducted a case-control study to identify risk factors for Salmonella infection in infants less than 2 months old. Risk factors identified included exposure to reptiles, attending daycare with a child with diarrhea, consuming meat, consuming reconstituted infant formula, and riding in a shopping cart next to meat or poultry. Breastfeeding was protective.

Cohort Study of Multi-Drug Resistant Salmonella, 2006
In 2006, FoodNet conducted a cohort study to investigate the impact of resistance to antimicrobial agents on clinical outcome of infection with non-Typhi Salmonella. Subject enrollment and data collection are complete; analyses are ongoing.
Case-control study of selected Salmonella Serotypes, 2007
In 2007, FoodNet conducted a case-control study to identify risk factors for Salmonella Javiana, Salmonella Infantis, and Salmonella I 4,[5],12:i:- infections. Data collection is complete; analyses are ongoing.
