Publication on Bacterial Enteric Infection in Children

27 January 2009

The Journal of Infectious Diseases has published a study on risk factors for bacterial enteric infection in children that was performed in Washington State. Most studies prior to this have dealt with specific outbreaks of bacterias such as Salmonella or E.coli, but these represent only 10% of all such infections.

This study sought to identify risk factors for the much larger set of sporadic infections. An editorial in the same issue of the journal discusses the significance of this study.

Craic Computing was part of the consortium of groups involved in the study and developed the data management tools that supported it.
