RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-706-21 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc., a non-profit corporation, to pay County an amount not to exceed $53,294 for participation in the California Emerging Infections Program (EIP) for the period from September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $53,294 in funding by Food and Drug Administration Grant for the Emerging Infections Program through the Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (No County match required)

BACKGROUND:

The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) for Enteric Bacteria was established in 1996 to monitor bacterial resistance, specifically, the resistance among Salmonella and other enteric bacteria. The 17 participating state health departments forward every tenth human Salmonella isolate to Center for Disease Control (CDC) for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.   



BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
The CDC is requesting that additional EIP sites participate in the study of food-borne bacteria. Such bacteria is not uncommon and often is associated with the use of antimicrobial agents in food animals, especially in retail food. This study will assist in generating a database that may be utilized to augment the development of intervention programs to stem the high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in the meal and poultry food supply. The goal of the study is to determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella, Campylobacter, E.coli and enterococci isolated from a sample of chicken, ground turkey, ground beef and pork chops purchased from selected grocery stores in the catchment area of the California EIP FoodNet site. This will include samples collected from Contra Costa, Alameda and San Francisco County retail grocery stores.   
  
Approval of this Agreement #28-706-21 will allow funding to support the EIP - Retail Foods Project, through August 31, 2019. This Agreement includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the County will not receive additional funding to continue provide services for the EIP.
