Laboratory-based Enteric Disease Surveillance (LEDS) System
ob体育 collects national Salmonella surveillance data through passive surveillance of laboratory-confirmed human Salmonella isolates in the United States.
Clinical diagnostic laboratories submit Salmonella isolates to state and territorial public health laboratories, where they are confirmed and serotyped.
Unusual or un-typable serotypes are forwarded to ob体育 for further characterization or confirmation. Results are reported back to state and territorial public health laboratories.
State and territorial public health laboratories send reports electronically to ob体育, which are collected in LEDS.
