FDA FERN Microbiology Cooperative Agreement Continuation Program (U18)

项目摘要 自1999年以来，食品安全实验室（FSL），动物健康，食品安全和生物安全中心 (The新墨西哥州州立大学（NMSU）的中心）与食品和药物管理局（FDA）密切合作， 美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）现场科学办公室的各种食品安全和国防任务。 FDA要求我们评估、分析和验证快速检测方法。我们改进了许多 细菌学分析手册（BAM）方法并提供快速方法的验证数据， 已由FDA区域实验室实施。林业发展局还分发了 食品紧急反应网络（FERN）成员实验室的分析方法。 我们直接参与了FERN的许多使命目标。我们提供实验室外展服务， 新墨西哥州州立大学的农业计划，以种植者和食品加工商。我们有 在方法开发和验证方面具有丰富的经验。通过新墨西哥州合作社 推广服务计划，我们为种植者和食品加工者提供食品安全培训， 防御我们使用BAM和新的快速测试方法进行定期的能力测试和验证。 在被要求的情况下，我们参与监督活动。我们是电子实验室的成员 交换网络（eLEXNET）电子通信程序。 当我们被选为FERM MCAP实验室时，我们提高了我们的能力，并希望继续 服务于FERN计划，在当地，州和州检测和识别食品中的威胁因子， 联邦一级，为国家服务。 作为FERN CAP实验室，我们打算继续： 1)熟练掌握CAP提供的设备 2)雇用一名微生物学家与现有实验室人员一起进行分析工作 3)为实验室工作人员提供适当的培训 4)根据FERN国家项目办公室（NPO）的要求，参与所有FDA/FERN活动

Project Summary Since 1999, the Food Safety Laboratory (FSL), Center for Animal Health, Food Safety, and Biosecurity (The Center) at New Mexico State University (NMSU) has worked closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Field Science on a variety of food safety and defense assignments. We are tasked by FDA to evaluate, analyze and validate rapid test methods. We have improved many Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) methods and provided validation data for rapid methods that have been implemented by FDA Regional Laboratories. FDA has also distributed improvements in analytical methods to Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) member laboratories. We are directly involved in many of the FERN mission objectives. We provide laboratory outreach with New Mexico State University agricultural programs to growers and food processors. We have demonstrated experience in method development and validation. Through the New Mexico Cooperative Extension Service Programs, we provide training to growers and food processors in food safety and defense. We perform regular proficiency testing and validation with BAM and new rapid test methods. When requested, we participate in surveillance activities. We are a member of the Electronic Laboratory Exchange Network (eLEXNET) Program for electronic communications. When we were selected as a FERM MCAP lab, we increased our capabilities and hope to continue to serve the FERN program in detecting and identifying threat agents in food at the local, state, and federal levels and be a service to the nation. As a FERN CAP lab, we intend to continue to: 1) Develop proficiency in the equipment received from the CAP 2) Hire an additional microbiologist to conduct analytical work alongside the existing laboratory staff 3) Obtain appropriate training for laboratory staff 4) Participate in all FDA/FERN activities as requested by the FERN National Program Office (NPO)
