Microbiology: Analytical Track 2: Human Food Testing

总结：微生物学分析轨道2（人用食品检测） 由食物微生物污染引起的严重食源性疾病是一种值得注意的， 可预防的公共卫生问题。本提案的总体目标是促进 国家粮食紧急情况的全面综合粮食保护实验室中心 响应网络（FERN）能够分析许多不同威胁优先级的食物。一 该计划的基石是对人类食品进行微生物污染检测。实验室 被授予两个成功的FERN合作协议，用于维持第七届 我们的食品测试环境实验室连续一年获得ISO/IEC 17025：2017认证， 并加强与我们内部测序核心的合作， 受污染的食物样本这项提案现在试图通过测试高样本来保持这一势头 各种各样的人类食物。这一计划中的战略还利用了强大而密切的合作， 我们内部的测序核心该提案特别侧重于商品/危险 FDA在PAR-20-105中将其设定为国家优先事项。由于MDH实验室 美国食品药品监督管理局是一个人类食品监管实验室， 根据食品加工监管标准，将收集15%或更多的分析样品 由训练有素的马里兰州食品保护办公室收集者通过这条赛道。

SUMMARY: MICROBIOLOGY ANALYTICAL TRACK 2 (HUMAN FOOD TESTING) Serious foodborne illness resulting from microbiological contamination of food is a notable and largely preventable public health problem. The overarching aim of this proposal is to contribute a comprehensive and integrated food protection laboratory hub to the national Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) that is capable of analyzing food across many diverse threat priorities. A cornerstone of this plan is human food testing for microbiological contamination. The Laboratory was awarded two successful FERN cooperative agreements that were used both to maintain the 7th continuous year of ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accreditation for our food testing environmental laboratory, as well as to strengthen collaboration with our in-house Sequencing Core to sequence whole genomes from contaminated food samples. This proposal now seeks to maintain this momentum by testing high sample numbers of diverse human foods. This planned strategy also leverages a strong and close collaboration with our in-house Sequencing Core. The proposal is focused specifically on the commodity/hazard pairs that the FDA has set as the national priority in PAR-20-105. Since the MDH Laboratories Administration is a human food regulatory laboratory and a primary servicing laboratory for the Manufactured Food Product Regulatory Standard, 15% or more of analyzed samples will be collected by trained Maryland Office of Food Protection collectors through this track.
