BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Infections Program (EIP) sites participate in the study of foodborne bacteria. Such bacteria is not uncommon and
often is associated with the use of antimicrobial agents in food animals, especially in retail food. This study will assist
in generating a database that may be utilized to augment the development of intervention programs to stem the high
prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in the meal and poultry food supply. The goal of the study is to determine the
prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella, Campylobacter, E.coli and enterococci isolated from a
sample of chicken, ground turkey, ground beef and pork chops purchased from selected grocery stores in the
catchment area of the California EIP FoodNet site. This will include samples collected from Contra Costa, Alameda
and San Francisco County retail grocery stores. On June 26, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved
Agreement #28-706-11 with Public Health Foundation Enterprise, Inc. for the period from January 1, 2012 through
December 31, 2012.

microbiological testing services, including, but not limited to, personnel time, supplies, and food samples utilized in
the testing, through December 31, 2013, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any
claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
