National Enteric Disease Surveillance: Salmonella Annual Report, 2013

The Laboratory-based Enteric Disease Surveillance (LEDS) system contributes to the understanding of foodborne disease by conducting basic laboratory-based surveillance for four enteric pathogens, Salmonella, Shigella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), and Campylobacter, using reports from state and territorial public health laboratories.

Highlights
  • The raw data reported to LEDS during 2013 can be found here.
  • In 2013, 52 jurisdictions reported 45,735 cases of laboratory-confirmed Salmonella infections to LEDS, 7% fewer than in 2012.
Incidence rates of Salmonella infection (per 100,000 population)

* Some states were plotted using a gray color if a) the number of laboratory-confirmed human Salmonella isolates reported to LEDS was less than 80% of the number of salmonellosis cases reported to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) or b) the number of fully serotyped laboratory-confirmed human Salmonella isolates reported to LEDS was fewer than 80% of all Salmonella isolates reported to LEDS
