Excerpt from Invasive Strep A, What Do We Need to Know?: Hearing Before the Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session; July 28, 1994

It is important that appropriate surveillance of invasive group A streptococcal infections and other emerging pathogens be conducted at State and national levels. The capacity to perform serotyping for group A streptococcal isolates in the United States is only available at CDC and the University of Minnesota. This capacity must be maintained, as changes in M-type distribution may be used to track changes in clinical disease.

Enhancing infectious disease surveillance, and strengthening the public health infrastructure at the local, State, and Federal levels to provide needed laboratory support and training are major priorities included in the CDC plan for prevention of emerging infectious disease threats. The changes in occurrence of severe group A streptococcal infections during the past decade demonstrate how infectious diseases may increasingly threaten public health and contribute significantly to the escalating costs of health care.
