• ABCs- Active Bacterial Core surveillance of the Emerging Infections Programs
  In 2001-02 surveillance was conducted in three sites to determine the incidence of CA-MRSA and define the epidemiology of MRSA in the community including determining populations at-risk, clinical disease spectrum and outcomes. From 2004-present, invasive MRSA infections are monitored in nine sites across the United States currently participate in the ABC's MRSA surveillance, representing a population of about 16.3 million persons.
