The success of the conjugate Hib vaccines has been spectacular. Prior to their introduction, an estimated 10,000 cases of Hib meningitis occurred annually in the United States, which was approximately 1 in 300 children. It was even higher among native Alaskan and American Indian children. Since the widespread use of the vaccine, the disease has nearly disappeared in the United States, with only 40 cases in children under age 5 years reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2014. Thus, bacterial meningitis, once a scourge that killed and damaged too many American children is, for the most part, now a bad memory.

Abstract According to 2010 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. It is assumed that various diabetes interventions are available to help individuals manage this chronic disease, but that is not the case. The literature is scant regarding interventions focused on people with disabilities who have diabetes. The purpose of this article is to review interventions specifically focused on people with disabilities who have diabetes and to discuss the effect of these interventions on this population.

Spread Of Infection

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States (US) last week released its plans to cope with a deliberate release of smallpox (1). The plan centres on rapid ring vaccination of the contacts of infected individuals to contain the spread of infection. Mass vaccination in advance of an outbreak will not be used, partly because the risks associated with vaccination outweigh the risks of exposure to smallpox.

Animal Isolates

One hundred thirty-eight isolates of Salmonella enteritidis from human, animal, and avian species were analyzed for the presence of plasmid DNA. Plasmid DNA from S. enteritidis isolates were extracted by a modification of a high alkaline extraction procedure. Comparisons were made between samples based on the number of plasmids present and their molecular weights. There were seven different profiles seen among the 15 human isolates from the Centers for Disease Control. These seven profiles were recognized with the animal isolates from the National Veterinary Services Laboratory, the chicken isolates from the northeastem (NE) region of the United States, and the turkey isolates from Minnesota (MN). There were no shared profdes between the human isolates and the chicken isolates from MN. The greatest relationship existed between the human isolates and the chicken isolates from the NE region of the United States, sharing four common profiles. Every Centers for Disease Control isolate shared a plasmid profile with chicken isolates from the NE region of the United States. The chicken isolates from MN had no profiles in common with any isolates from any other groups. The majority of animal isolates from National Veterinary Services Laboratory and the turkey isolates from MN possessed the virulence-associated 54 kb plasmid alone. This paper describes how plasmid profiles can be used as a tool in epidemiological investigations.
