Frederick Animal Health Vet-LIRN Network Capacity Building Project

摘要：这项提案的重点是为弗雷德里克动物健康实验室(FAHL)扩大规模寻求资金 支持兽医实验室调查和反应网络执行任务的能力， 虽然增加了带有浊度计的Sensititre Vizion数字MIC观察系统来检测细菌 提交样品的灵敏度。该设备将允许FAHL参与Vet-LIRN全基因组 通过提供多重耐药细菌菌株的测序项目。Fahl是国际标准化组织17025认可的诊断标准 实验室，是马里兰州农业部的一部分。法尔有工作人员、设备、技术和 管理系统能够提供关键资源，使Vet-LIRN受益并为其提供支持。

Abstract: The focus of this proposal is to seek funding for the Frederick Animal Health Laboratory (FAHL) to expand the capability to support the mission of Vet-LIRN (Veterinary Laboratory Investigation and Response Network), though the addition of a Sensititre Vizion Digital MIC Viewing System with Nephelometer for determining bacterial sensitivities of submitted samples. This equipment will allow FAHL to participate in the Vet-LIRN Whole Genome Sequencing project by providing multidrug resistant bacterial strains. FAHL is an ISO 17025 Accredited diagnostic laboratory and is part of the Maryland Department of Agriculture. FAHL has the staff, equipment, technology, and management system to be able to provide critical resources that will benefit and support Vet-LIRN.
