BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 anti-microbial
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.
Approval of this Agreement #28-706-16 will allow continuous funding to support the Emerging Infections Program -
Retail Foods Project, through July 31, 2015. This Agreement includes mutual indemnification.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, The County will not receive additional funding to continue provide ser-vices for
the Emerging Infections Program - Retail Foods Project.
