Inter-agency public health collaboration: Western States Escherichia coli O157:H7 investigation associated with ground beef
2010
Between 1st Jan. and 31st Dec. 2007, 10 of 21 voluntary recalls of ground beef (minced beef) were associated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections. The 2007 Western States E. coli O157:H7 investigation illustrated the importance of inter-agency collaboration and availability of accurate product information to enhance outbreak response. Foodborne disease investigations have become increasingly complex. Consequently, coordination and collaboration between public health partners throughout investigations are essential to respond to reports of illness and ultimately reduce the burden of illnesses caused by foodborne pathogens.
