4 Volume of notifiable enteric illnesses Condition 2017 Case Count Campylobacteriosis 2215 Salmonellosis 810 Giardiasis 668 STEC 404 Shigellosis 285 Cryptosporidiosis 150 Vibriosis 96 Listeriosis 17 Cyclosporiasis 9 Washington State Department of Health 4

5 Current cluster detection with PFGE Laboratorians determine PFGE pattern and look for recent matches Salmonella/STEC within 60 days Generally clusters of 2+ cases reported Exceptions for very common patterns Listeria 2 cases within 120 days Communication/data sharing notification Shared cluster linelist (excel) Database of PFGE patterns accessible to epi Weekly lab-epi meetings Washington State Department of Health 5

6 notification Washington State Department of Health 6

7 Cluster linelist Organism Outbreak Code NORS ID Primary Enzyme Cluster Date EPI WA notes-cluster summary S. Okatie 1801MLOKA-1 OKAX /26/2017 KrisandraKratom exposure S.

Multiple counties. Starting NHGQs Washington State Department of Health 7

8 PFGE Pattern Report Washington State Department of Health 8

9 Current WGS Status Sequencing all clinical Salmonella, Listeria, STEC WGS data not used routinely for cluster detection Special outbreak situations analysis requested at CDC Epi likes to spy in NCBI Hypothesis generation Excluding cases Including additional cases that didn t match by PFGE Washington State Department of Health 9

10 Epi Use 1: Answer a specific question Have we seen any recent listeriosis cases associated with an ice cream production facility? o Three known human illnesses in Third case occurred a year later than the original two o Listeria can persist in the environment for many years Washington State Department of Health 10

11 Epi Use 1: Answer a specific question Find the SNP cluster in NCBI Search for clinical to find and highlight clinical isolates No cases on the SNP tree other than the three known cases yay! Washington State Department of Health 11

12 Epi Use 2: Confirm what we expect Three case-patients with STEC O26, new PFGE pattern in WA, reported eating at a common restaurant Sequencing available for two isolates says just what we suspected! Washington State Department of Health 12

13 Epi Use 3: Find what we don t expect Four Salmonella I 4,[5],12:i:- cases from a single county, 2 Fall 2017, 2 May 2018 o Rare PFGE pattern o All clustered closely on the tree One unexpected isolate in the middle! o 2017 case, from the same county o Different PFGE pattern o Linked to a previous chicken outbreak Red isolates Same PFGE Pattern isolate Different PFGE Pattern Washington State Department of Health 13

14 Epi Use 3: Find what we don t expect Eventually 7 case identified over a year time-frame o All reported shopping at the same location of a warehouse store Investigated and reported as an outbreak Jump start on hypothesis generation by the presence of the isolate from a previous outbreak was critical Washington State Department of Health 14

15 2018 STEC WGS By the Numbers ~323 clinical WA STEC isolates sequenced 39 STEC clusters with at least two isolates in NCBI Washington State Department of Health 15

16 2018 Salmonella By the Numbers ~779 Clinical WA isolates sequenced Broke the NCBI search Washington State Department of Health 16

17 Epi Data Systems Washington State Department of Health 17

18 Epi Data Systems - WDRS New MAVEN-based surveillance implemented summer 2018 Allows for the electronic capture of much more complete exposure data Working through growing pains of system transition Washington State Department of Health 18

19 Salmonellosis exposure data in WDRS ORCA student team Public Health/Epidemiology graduate students Hired as temporary DOH employees Attempt NHGQ interviews on all eligible cases of salmonellosis Data is entered into WDRS Washington State Department of Health 19

20 Epi Data Systems - NCBI Bookmark links to trees in browser Washington State Department of Health 20

21 Epi Data Systems - NCBI Watched isolates feature Washington State Department of Health 21

22 Epi Data Systems - NCBI Washington State Department of Health 22

23 Epi Data Systems - SEDRIC SEDRIC provides an easy way to exchange information between states and CDC SEDRIC allows state partners to work backwards from PNUSA numbers in NCBI to find state isolate numbers Washington State Department of Health 23

24 Plans for the post-pfge world WGS cluster communications plans will closely mirror existing PFGE protocols Laboratorians will use Bionumerics to look for clusters and communicate via /cluster list Usefulness of allele codes will be assessed once they are released. Exploring ways to better access allele codes on the Epi side. Epi will use NCBI as a secondary tool to provide context for clusters Washington State Department of Health 24

25 Plans for the post-pfge world Exploring alternate cluster detection methods to address the time lapse in receiving WGS analysis results Spatio-temporal Simple case counts Serotype-specific case counts Better automation of analyzing exposure data Washington State Department of Health 25

29 Final Thoughts WGS is a powerful new tool that provides a great opportunity to learn more about outbreaks and illness sources But Washington State Department of Health 29

30 Final Thoughts Lastly, the added value of WGS surveillance is maximized by breaking down the silos of epidemiology and microbiology and engaging informatics specialists in data analysis and visualization. At the same time, the increasingly recognized value of datasharing creates new challenges of interdisciplinary communication and the communication of WGS results to the public.
