Salmonella Outbreak: 187 people sick in 42 states with 42 hospitalizations & 1 death from contact with backyard poultry.
States used pathogen genomics to match Salmonella in poultry arriving at retail stores w/ the same type affecting sick people. More: https://t.co/UBXCr2UTjB

It’s hard for many people to see the importance of what CDC does because when it succeeds, there isn’t an outbreak. Your neighbor doesn’t overdose. Your cousin stops smoking or your child doesn’t start. Your grandmother doesn’t develop cancer.

Cuts to this work would put us all at greater risk.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Massive cuts to programs that prevent disease would make Americans sicker. Cutting things isn’t likely to improve them. Actually improving takes expertise and investment. https://t.co/agEFkNGbmx

Whole genome sequencing (#WGS) gives scientists a detailed #DNA fingerprint of bacteria during foodborne outbreak investigations. Having this detailed information helps keep people, animals, plants, and our environment safe. https://t.co/nVe8RXITbA

Report found 3 bovine vet practitioners had evidence of antibodies to H5 bird flu, suggesting recent infection. Two reported no exposures to animals w/ known or suspected bird flu & one practiced in states w/ no known H5 virus-infected cattle at the time: https://t.co/XR4QUG2UL0
