Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs) is a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and several state health departments and universities participating in the Emerging Infections Program Network. ABCs conducts population-based active surveillance, collects isolates, and performs studies of invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, group A and group B Streptococcus, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae for a population of 17 to 30 million. These pathogens caused an estimated 97,000 invasive cases, resulting in 10,000 deaths in the United States in 1998. Incidence rates of these pathogens are described. During 1998, 25% of invasive pneumococcal infections in ABCs areas were not susceptible to penicillin, and 13.3% were not susceptible to three classes of antibiotics. In 1998, early-onset group B streptococcal disease had declined by 65% over the previous 6 years. More information on ABCs is available at www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/abcs. ABCs specimens will soon be available to researchers through an archive.
主动细菌核心监测（ABCs）是疾病控制与预防中心与几个州卫生部门以及参与新发传染病项目网络的大学之间的合作项目。ABCs开展基于人群的主动监测，收集分离株，并对1700万至3000万人口中由肺炎链球菌、A组和B组链球菌、脑膜炎奈瑟菌和流感嗜血杆菌引起的侵袭性疾病进行研究。1998年，这些病原体在美国估计导致了9.7万例侵袭性病例，造成1万人死亡。文中描述了这些病原体的发病率。1998年，ABCs地区25%的侵袭性肺炎球菌感染对青霉素不敏感，13.3%对三类抗生素不敏感。1998年，早发性B组链球菌疾病较前6年下降了65%。有关ABCs的更多信息可在www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/abcs上获取。ABCs的标本很快将通过一个档案库提供给研究人员。
