Cluster analysis <strong>of</strong> S.Typhi
Some f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
Aprox. Aprox.<br />
115 different XbaI Xba Pulsed-Field Pulsed Field Pr<strong>of</strong>iles (PFPs ( PFPs) ) were observed<br />
among the 300 isolates analyzed (F:0.4-1.0; (F:0.4 1.0; 14-22 14 22 b<strong>and</strong>s; 22-600 22 600 kbp). kbp).<br />
The present observation concurred with the previous report (Thong (Thong<br />
et<br />
al.,JCM 1994) that stra<strong>in</strong>s associated with outbreaks are genetically<br />
more homogeneous as compared with those from sporadic cases <strong>of</strong><br />
typhoid fever.<br />
Each <strong>of</strong> the outbreaks was associated with stra<strong>in</strong>s with 1-3 closely related<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iles (F:0.74-1.0) while stra<strong>in</strong>s isolated from sporadic cases are more<br />
diverse (F:0.4-1.0)<br />
Six out <strong>of</strong> the 11 outbreaks (between 1987-2003) occurred <strong>in</strong> a northeastern<br />
state <strong>of</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>. This area is particularly <strong>in</strong> highly endemic for Salmonella<br />
Typhi.<br />
The exact reasons are not clear. However, the population is generally<br />
poorer. Poor hygiene <strong>and</strong> contam<strong>in</strong>ated foods/water are most probable<br />

Disease <strong>Surveillance</strong>,<br />
M<strong>in</strong>istry <strong>of</strong> Health, <strong>Malaysia</strong><br />
Lack <strong>of</strong> reliable data to describe the actual burden <strong>of</strong><br />
diseases<br />
Infrastructure, facilities, resources available but<br />
uncoord<strong>in</strong>ated.<br />
Hence, MyFoodNet was proposed to coord<strong>in</strong>ate <strong>and</strong><br />
improve resources <strong>and</strong> capabilities <strong>in</strong> control <strong>and</strong><br />
prevent <strong>of</strong> foodborne diseases<br />
To establish an active surveillance system <strong>of</strong> FD<br />
To precisely estimate the actual burden <strong>of</strong> FD<br />
PulseNet activities will placed also be coord<strong>in</strong>ated
