CDC’s Advanced Molecular Detection program strengthens public health capabilities nationwide. From confirming Listeria outbreaks to discovering the first human case of tick-borne Borrelia johnsonii, pathogen genomics methods transform disease detection. bit.ly/41Y6bLo

Diseases like Valley Fever, with symptoms mimicking cold and flu, can go undetected. Advanced molecular detection technologies can help quickly identify these threats to control and stop outbreaks. Learn more: bit.ly/3FTIvPG

Scientists used metagenomics technology to find 19 different bacterial pathogens in specimens from patients with tick bites—some never seen in humans before. This approach will improve patient care: bit.ly/43dpkK5

Advanced molecular detection is speeding up how we fight infections. With cutting-edge tools, public health experts can find pathogens faster & more accurately—helping determine effective treatments sooner. This means quicker care & better health outcomes. bit.ly/3U5TEk2

New advanced molecular detection technologies rapidly identify pathogens => quicker end to outbreaks. We are eliminating the need to culture samples by developing innovative tools to extract bacterial DNA directly from them. How? bit.ly/447JhlY

Advanced molecular detection (AMD) technologies play key roles in helping CDC quickly investigate & respond to infectious disease threats. These technologies are used to identify & study the unique DNA or RNA of harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, & parasites. For more:

Advanced molecular detection help scientists identify new, rare, and drug-resistant infections. Using analytical tools, they track threats like drug-resistant C. auris. Early detection leads to faster action to stop the spread & protect public health. bit.ly/4lKYsXZ

On #WFED, we celebrate field epidemiology in action. Krisandra Allen’s work in genomic surveillance shows how innovation helps detect and stop outbreaks faster — making a lasting impact on public health. Read more on the role of genomics in epidemiology bit.ly/46E8ea4

CDC scientists analyzed the DNA from malaria-causing parasites to track malaria transmission patterns across three states. Analysis revealed multiple geographic origins, data that can guide public health efforts. For more: bit.ly/3U5yVgp

Fungal Disease Awareness week is next week (Sept 15- 19). AMD revolutionized fungal disease research, surveillance, and outbreak response. Learn about fungal diseases and AMD’s role in understanding the factors driving the emergence of fungi. cdc.gov/fungal/fungal-…

Salmonella Outbreak UPDATE: More Deep brand frozen food products have been recalled. Do not eat these products. Throw them away. See the notice for new details: cdc.gov/salmonella/out…

Something mysterious is appearing in wastewater monitoring as fall approaches. Can you guess what it is? Here’s a hint: 🎃 Swipe to find out! To see what’s really appearing in your community’s wastewater, check out cdc.gov/wastewater

With WGS, CDC scientists found the epidemic of sporotrichosis, driven by S. brasiliensis, represents several independent emergence events followed by cat-to-cat & cat-to human transmission within & between Brazilian states. Read more #FungalWeek25 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38432234

CDC uses WGS to identify and describe the emergence of azole-resistant Aspergillus strains linked to fungicide use in agriculture. #FungalWeek25 cdc.gov/aspergillosis/…

We found pumpkin spice… in wastewater?! 😱 (Just kidding.) But wastewater does show us what viruses are rising — like Flu, COVID & RSV. As fall approaches, stay cozy and informed: cdc.gov/wastewater

CDC’s Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD) program is revolutionizing public health and disease detection via focused fellowships, strategic partnerships, and advanced training bit.ly/41Y6bLo

CDC scientists validated that the whole genome sequence-based allele schemes in the PulseNet 2.0 Escherichia national database provide ideal resolution for detecting outbreak clusters, ensuring high quality data of E. coli outbreaks in the U.S. mdpi.com/2076-2607/13/6…
