Costs and benefits of a subtype-specific surveillance system for identifying Escherichia coli O157:H7 outbreaks.

We assessed the societal costs and benefits of a subtype-specific surveillance system for identifying outbreak-associated Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections. Using data from Colorado, we estimated that if it averted five cases annually, the system would recover all its costs.
