Enhancing Human and Animal Food Testing in North Carolina in Support of an Integrated Food Safety System: Microbiology Track 5

研究及相关其他项目信息 项目总结/摘要 组件：微生物学轨道5 北卡罗来纳州农业部食品和药物保护司（FDPD） 消费者服务（NCDA&CS）将支持一个全国性的综合和预防为重点的食品和 通过构建和部署新的分析能力， 和联邦合作伙伴的关键数据。在合作协议的第一年，FDPD将开发 通过设备采购、培训和能力建设，提高全基因组测序能力 评估。随着FDPD WGS项目的发展，所有从食品中分离出的病原体， 饲料和环境样本将进行WGS，数据将与GenomeTrakr共享， 促进检测和控制食源性疾病的爆发。

Research & Related Other Project Information Project Summary/Abstract Component: Microbiology Track 5 The Food & Drug Protection Division (FDPD) within the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) will support a nationally integrated and prevention-focused food and feed safety system by building and deploying new analytical capabilities that can be used to supply state and federal partners with critical data. In Year 1 of this cooperative agreement, FDPD will develop whole genome sequencing (WGS) capabilities through equipment purchase, training, and competency assessments. Following development of the WGS program at FDPD, all pathogens isolated from food, feed, and environmental samples will undergo WGS, and data will be shared with GenomeTrakr to facilitate detection and control of outbreaks of foodborne illness.
