National Salmonella Surveillance System
The National Salmonella Surveillance System is based on data collected by state and territorial public health laboratories since the 1970s. Salmonella isolates are submitted to the state or territorial public health laboratory by clinical diagnostic laboratories. The public health laboratory confirms the isolates as Salmonella and performs serotyping according to the Kauffmann-White scheme. This information is reported to CDC electronically through the Public Health Laboratory Information
System (PHLIS), which is the public health laboratory-based, national surveillance system for infectious diseases. The system is primarily managed by the Biostatistics Office (BSO) in collaboration with Enteric Diseases Epidemiology Branch (EDEB) and the Enteric Diseases Laboratory Branch (EDLB). PHLIS is the only national source of critically useful serotype information for these pathogens.
Serotype-based surveillance provides a mechanism to rapidly detect unusual patterns in the incidence of foodborne and diarrheal pathogens. Rapid analysis of surveillance data allows public health officials to detect unusual disease clusters. Analysis can be conducted at state, regional, or national levels.
