Project Summary Abstract The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) is seeking funding from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under PAR-17-141 to support the Department’s Office of Laboratory Services, Lynchburg Regional Animal Health Laboratory (RAHL)’s capability to rapidly detect, identify and enumerate pathogens in animals, animal feed, drugs and other substrates. The amount of funding requested is $ 218,500. The VDACS, Office of Laboratory Services, Lynchburg RAHL meets all requirements to be eligible for this funding. The Lynchburg RAHL is a participating laboratory in the Veterinary Laboratory Investigation and Response Network (Vet-LIRN). It has met the requirements for Vet-LIRN participation, successfully completing several proficiency tests for microbiological testing since becoming a member laboratory in 2015. The microbiological testing that falls under the Vet-LIRN mission is accredited to ISO 17025 standards by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). The Lynchburg RAHL utilizes the USALims Laboratory Information Management System, which can integrate electronic reporting and data summaries into forms that can be utilized by the Vet-LIRN Program Office (PO), thereby providing rapid testing results during case investigations of potential animal, food or drug adulteration or contamination. Funding from this opportunity is being requested to widen, improve and develop testing capabilities within the Lynchburg RAHL that would make it better able to respond to both routine surveillance assignments with the Vet-LIRN, as well as to larger scale animal/food/drug emergencies requiring enhanced surge capacity. The Lynchburg RAHL would upgrade obsolete testing equipment and methods for microbiological identification of organisms, for detecting antimicrobial susceptibilities of organisms, for supporting testing of animal/feed/drug substrates, and for expanding the existing capabilities of testing. In addition, it would add the capability for enumeration of bacteria, yeasts and molds in animal/feed/drug substrates. This increased capability would also allow for participation in additional projects and/or method validation as determined by the Vet-LIRN PO. Other activities would include using funds to further efforts to adhere and maintain its A2LA accreditation status, as well as take advantage of training opportunities and Vet-LIRN meetings.

项目摘要摘要 弗吉尼亚州农业和消费者服务部(VDACS)正在寻求资金 来自美国食品和药物管理局的PAR-17-141，以支持该部的 林奇堡地区动物卫生实验室(RAHL)实验室服务办公室S 能够快速检测、识别和列举动物、动物饲料、药物中的病原体 和其他底物。申请的资金数额为218,500美元。 林奇堡·拉尔实验室服务办公室的VDACS符合所有要求 有资格获得这笔资金。林奇堡Rahl是兽医的一个参与实验室 实验室调查和反应网络(VET-LIRN)。它已经满足了以下要求 VET-LIRN参与，成功完成多项微生物能力测试 自2015年成为成员实验室以来一直在进行检测。属于以下范围的微生物测试 VET-LIRN任务是由美国国际标准化组织认证的17025标准 实验室认可(A2LA)。林奇堡·拉尔利用美国利姆斯实验室 信息管理系统，可集成电子报告和数据汇总 Vet-LIRN计划办公室(PO)可以使用的形式，从而提供快速 在潜在的动物、食品或药品掺假或 污染。 要求从这个机会获得资金，以扩大、改进和发展测试 Lynchburg Rahl内的能力，使其能够更好地响应这两个例程 VET-LIRN的监测任务，以及对更大规模的动物/食品/药物的监测 需要增强涌浪能力的紧急情况。林奇堡·拉尔将升级为过时的 生物体微生物鉴定的检测设备和方法 用于支持动物/饲料/药物底物测试的生物体的抗微生物敏感性， 并用于扩展现有的测试能力。此外，它还将增加以下功能 动物/饲料/药物基质中细菌、酵母菌和霉菌的计数。这增加了 能力还将允许参与其他项目和/或方法验证，如 由Vet-LIRN PO确定。其他活动将包括利用资金进一步努力 坚持和保持其A2LA认证地位，并利用培训 机会和兽医-LIRN会议。
