The number of non-O157:H7 STEC infections reported to the CDC from 2000 to 2005 increased from 171 to 501 cases, suggesting a higher burden of illness than previously thought. Outbreaks associated with nonO157:H7 STECs have been reported worldwide, including thirteen in the United States from 1990 to 2006. The 2006 data is still preliminary. Many outbreaks were attributed to consumption of fresh produce; none were attributed to ground beef consumption. However, in 2006, nonO157:H7 STEC illness was diagnosed in a patient in New York who had consumed ground beef shortly before illness onset. The same STEC strain, indistinguishable by pulsed field gel electrophoresis, was detected in the patient’s stool and in leftover ground beef that the patient had consumed. In this case, FSIS was unable to take further action because the product could not be definitively traced to a production lot. FSIS, FDA CFSAN, and CDC will hold a public meeting on October 17, 2007, to solicit input from industry, consumers, academia, and other public health and regulatory agencies on the issue of whether non-O157:H7 STECs should also be considered to be adulterants. This meeting will rely on relevant data in addressing the most important questions that underlie this issue, including: • What is the epidemiology of nonO157:H7 STEC illness? • What can be done to enhance the surveillance and reporting of nonO157:H7 STEC illnesses? • What is the prevalence of nonO157:H7 STEC in livestock and in finished product? Are species other than cattle, such as sheep, goats, and swine, important sources of non-O157:H7 STECs? • What are the best methods for detecting pathogenic non-O157:H7 STECs in food? What are the most relevant markers for pathogenic STECs? • Are interventions designed to remove or destroy E. coli O157:H7 in foods or raw products effective against non-O157:H7 STECs as well? • How should regulatory agencies define, monitor, and control pathogenic non-O157:H7 STECs in food or raw products? All interested parties are welcome to attend the meeting and to submit written comments and suggestions through October 15, 2007 to Dr. Eblen by phone (202) 690–6238, fax (202) 690– 6334, e-mail: Denise.eblen@fsis.usda.gov, or at the mail address: U.S. Department of VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:07 Oct 05, 2007 Jkt 214001 Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service, Office of Public Health Science, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., 357 Aerospace Center, Washington, DC 20250–3766.
