CDC's Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD) program fosters scientific innovation to transform public health and protect people from disease threats.cdc.gov/amdJoined March 2015
Congratulations to @SDCountyHHSA as they placed the final beam on their new Public Health Lab. 🏢
Partially supported by @CDCgov’s Office of AMD, the new facility will provide critical space for laboratory testing to track, analyze, and respond to disease outbreaks.

#AMD technologies identified pathogens with the potential to cause debilitating diarrhea in wild chimpanzees and gorillas. The highly contagious pathogens, usually found in humans, could have catastrophic impacts to endangered ape populations in the wild: bit.ly/3TBJ57Q
Using molecular and culture-based methods, scientists detected Naegleria fowleri in 5 park hot springs in Wyoming's #GrandTetonNationalPark. This heat-loving ameba can be found in fresh water across the US. Review the findings: bit.ly/4aCU7QX
Happy Lab Week 2024! 🧪🥼 🧬
Laboratory professionals protect our future by skillfully adapting to meet today’s evolving patient care and public health challenges with resilience, innovation, and expertise.
Thank you to the many amazing and dedicated laboratory professionals!
Epidemiologists investigating an outbreak found that 15 patients across 9 states acquired infections after cosmetic surgery performed in a South Florida clinic. Whole genome sequencing determined the infections were closely related: bit.ly/3I4sjbW#mmwr
In 2022, drug-resistant, life-threatening infections were detected in 18 states. Researchers used epidemiology and genomic data from more than 50 patients to link the cause of the infections to contaminated artificial tears eye drops. Read more: bit.ly/3vr6px1
Historically, a definitive diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease can only come from examining brain tissue during an autopsy. Researchers found that genomic biomarkers in skin samples at autopsy can aid diagnosis when brain tissue is not an option: bit.ly/3vffysy#mmwr
Contact with bearded dragons was the source of a Salmonella outbreak in 2021-2022, which disproportionately affected infants and often resulted in severe illness. #GenomeSequencing determined that cases in the U.S. & Canada were part of the same outbreak: bit.ly/4aqh4Xp
Learn more about #EmergencyPreparedness at @CDCgov for #NPHW👉 CDC launched the Pathogen Genomics Centers of Excellence, a network of health departments and research institutions, to prevent and respond to microbial public health threats like #COVID19: bit.ly/3J96jgw
#NPHW is a great time to highlight new tools and innovations. Wastewater surveillance is a new #publichealth tool🔧 used by @CDCgov to provide early warnings for the spread of infectious diseases like #COVID19 or mpox in communities. Learn more: bit.ly/AMDWastewater
In 2021, 5 snow leopards and 1 lion living in zoos died from #COVID19. #GenomeSequencing confirmed that the cats were infected with the Delta variant, suggesting that it may have high zoonotic transmissibility and affect snow leopards more severely: bit.ly/3PwAuSq
Multi-pathogen PCR testing was used to quickly identify a 2022 adenovirus outbreak at a university in South Carolina. Testing linked 195 college students to the outbreak, highlighting increased transmission in close university settings: bit.ly/4bzTEjJ
This morning, AMD’s Duncan MacCannell joined @RIHEALTH as they placed the final beam on the future home of the state health laboratory. Partially funded with an $81.7 million AMD/ELC award from @CDCgov, the 212,000 sq ft building will include a dedicated genomic sequencing lab.🏢
RIDOH was honored to join in the excitement of today's topping off and beam signing ceremony. The construction of this new state lab facility will be one of the most important developments in public health in Rhode Island for decades to come!

It was once thought that only one species of fungi caused sporotrichosis. 🍄Advanced molecular technologies helped scientists identify several species. This report is a genomic epi study of the largest collection of Sporothrix brasiliensis sequences: bit.ly/48CmhKt#AMD
