Surveillance Population

U.S. map highlights 10 areas participating in ABCs surveillance: entire states of Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico and Oregon as well as specific areas within California, Colorado, New York and Tennessee.

Surveillance Areas/Isolate Collection

The total population of Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs) for invasive disease is approximately 43.5 million. However, most states restrict the population further for certain pathogens to ensure complete reporting. The table below illustrates the population under surveillance and isolate collection for each pathogen and state as of January 2017. Isolates are collected for all cases included in surveillance areas, except where indicated (*) as different in the table below.
