NJDA Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory and FDA CVM VetLIRN Program Co-operative Agreement to Safeguard Animal and Human Health

项目摘要 新泽西州农业部动物健康诊断实验室 (AHDL)参与该项目的目标是获得设备、用品和 人员以及标准化测试方法的培训，以提高AHDLs 测试对饲料或药品掺假事件的响应能力。通过参与这一活动 计划，AHDL将提高作为Vet-LIRN实验室的能力，并 应对潜在的紧急疫情或受污染的饲料/药物事件。AHDL语言将 还提高了为兽医抗菌素耐药性研究生成数据的能力 通过更多地提交从狗身上收集的样本来预防病原体。 在参加Vet-LIRN计划时，AHDL将参与样品分析， 方法发展，动物性食品/药物防御分配，细菌分离，抗菌药物 敏感性研究、培训和熟练程度测试(如果可用)。实验室将会 在发生大规模事故时，根据Vet-LIRN/FDA的需要提供浪涌容量 微生物或化学恐怖主义或自然病原体暴发事件影响 动物性食品或药品。AHDL语言将共享方法开发的结果、方法 VPO和网络实验室的验证和矩阵扩展研究，由 VPO。Ahdl还将为抗菌素敏感性研究提供细菌分离株。 包括共享易感性数据和相关元数据。

Project Summary The New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory’s (AHDL) objectives in participating in this project are to obtain the equipment, supplies, and personnel as well as the training in standardized testing methodologies to increase the AHDL’s testing capabilities in response to an event of a feed or drug adulteration. By participating in this program, the AHDL will improve the capabilities to function as a Vet-LIRN laboratory and to respond to potential emergency outbreaks or contaminated feed/drug incidents. The AHDL will also improve its ability to generate data for antimicrobial resistance studies in veterinary pathogens through increased submission of samples collected from dogs. In participating in the Vet-LIRN programs, the AHDL will be participating in sample analyses, methods development, animal food/drug defense assignments, bacterial isolates, antimicrobial susceptibility studies, training, and proficiency testing when available. The laboratory will provide surge capacity as needed by the Vet-LIRN/FDA in the event of a large-scale microbiological or chemical terrorism or natural pathogenic organism outbreak event affecting animal food or drug products. The AHDL will share results of method development, method validation and matrix extension studies with VPO and network laboratories as determined by the VPO. The AHDL will also provide bacterial isolates for antimicrobial susceptibility studies including sharing the susceptibility data and relevant metadata.
