Growth of bacterial genomes within GenomeTrakr (2013–2016). This figure shows the number of bacterial genomes that have been added to FDA's GenomeTrakr at the end of each quarter spanning 2013–2016. Four pathogens (Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli/Shigella, and Campylobacter) are the dominant foodborne pathogens collected and made available to the public.
