Description:Using the latest technology to detect outbreaks and protect the public’s health For over 20 years, PulseNet, the national laboratory network that detects foodborne disease outbreaks, has prevented illness and saved money. PulseNet helps public health scientists identify and solve outbreaks of foodborne illness in the United States. PulseNet recently updated the technology it uses to detect outbreaks. This new technology, whole genome sequencing, gives public health scientists more information than ever before about the foodborne bacteria that make people sick. It improves investigators’ ability to link cases of illness to outbreaks and to identify common sources of infection. Based on CDC’s experience with whole genome sequencing, CDC expects to identify and solve more outbreaks and prevent more illnesses as WGS becomes the new standard in PulseNet for surveillance of foodborne bacteria.
