U.S. Pathogen Isolate Counts by Region and Quarter

Quarterly counts of bacterial and fungal isolates are reported by pathogen type and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services region. The data originates from the CDC's System for Enteric Disease Response, Investigation, and Coordination (SEDRIC) and is presented via the BEAM Dashboard. The dataset was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in Pathogen counts by Quarter and Year to identify seasonal outbreaks.
• Compare current Number_of_isolates against the Past_two_years_average within each HHS_Region to detect anomalies.
• Model the geographic distribution of specific Pathogen types across HHS_Region for resource allocation.
• Correlate pathogen prevalence by Month and HHS_Region with environmental or food source data.

Strengths

• Data is updated regularly, with a last update timestamp of March 2026.
• Provides a comparative baseline through the Past_two_years_average column.
• Includes geographic granularity via the HHS_Region column for U.S. analysis.

Limitations

• The total number of records (rows) is unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing verification of data structure and values.
• The specific time range of historical data coverage is not provided.
