项目摘要 DA/T5 微生物学能力/能力发展--环孢菌科 这一分析轨道的目的是建设更多的能力并扩大#年的国家能力 新兴技术的微生物领域和/或FDA已确定具体需求的领域。 目标：发展检测人类食品和环境样品中环孢子菌的能力。 环孢子菌是威斯康星州和整个美国的一种新出现的致病菌。一个值得信赖的 直到最近才有回收食物和水样本中的微生物的方法，使 与这种有机体有关的暴发的鉴定很难评估。FDA最近推出了 一种更可靠的检测这种生物体的方法。 威斯康星州在过去两年中卷入了两起疑似环孢子菌疫情，但威斯康星州劳工统计局 无法进行食品和娱乐安全局(DFRS)要求的检测。 Wi BLS已经派其一名工作人员Jay Lee参加了关于Cylopora的蕨类培训(LB302)。在……里面 此外，他还参加了多次关于该方法的网络研讨会。 环孢子虫是一种WI希望增加其范围的方法。授予WI BLS此路径可增强我们的能力 以满足DFRS的需求，并实现赠款中列出的提高能力和能力的目标。

Project Summary DA/T5 Microbiology Capability/Capacity Development - Cyclospora The purpose of this analytical track is to build additional capability and expand the national capacity in microbiological areas of emerging technology and/or where FDA has identified a specific need. Goal: Develop the capability to test for Cyclospora in human food product and environmental samples. Cyclospora is an emerging pathogen of interest in Wisconsin and throughout the US. A dependable method for recovering the organism in food and water samples does/did not exist until recently, making the identification of outbreaks related to this organism difficult to assess. FDA has recently come out with a more dependable method of testing for this organism. Wisconsin has been involved in two suspected outbreaks of Cyclospora in the past two year, but WI BLS was unable to do the testing the Division of Food and Recreation safety (DFRS) requested. WI BLS has already sent one of its staff members, Jay Lee, FERN training on Cyclospora (LB 302). In addition, he has attended multiple webinar updates on the method. Cyclospora is a method WI would like to add to its scope. Granting WI BLS this track enhances our ability to meet DFRS needs, and meets the goal of improved capacity and capabilities as out lined in the grant.
