Diagnostic Tests and Foodborne Diseases
Please plan to attend the October 18 session of Public Health Grand Rounds, “Changes in Clinical Diagnostics and Tracking Infectious Diseases,” presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases.
The session explores how and why the use of culture-independent diagnostic tests is increasing – and the serious challenge this poses to public health surveillance, particularly for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and Salmonella. The rapid tests do not produce the bacterial isolates needed toidentify dispersed outbreaks, track trends in subtypes and antimicrobial resistance, and attribute illnesses to their sources.

Antibiotic Resistance: A Global Problem
Last week, the UN General Assembly adopted a political declaration calling for a collaborative, global response to the threat of antibiotic resistance. CDC works with a variety of human and animal health experts to fight antibiotic resistance through the Antibiotic Resistance Solutions Initiative. Learn more about how CDC is combatting antibiotic resistance in foodborne infections with our infographic.
