BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
every tenth human Salmonella isolate to CDC for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
The CDC is requesting that additional Emerging 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 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 Amendment Agreement #28-706-17 will allow additional funding to continue supporting 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 the additional funds to continue provide ser-vices for
the Emerging Infections Program - Retail Foods Project.
