  • Description:
    Sometimes the very places where people live, work, and play can expose them to dangerous pathogens. Infectious, sometimes rare, bacteria and fungi can lurk in soil, in water, or even inside our homes, healthcare facilities, or recreational centers. Symptoms of illnesses from environmental pathogens tend to mimic cold and flu symptoms, making them less frequently identifiable. With AMD technologies, CDC scientists are finding ways to trace and pinpoint sources of environmental pathogen threats, both in people and in the places where we can be exposed. This work is helping locate and stop outbreaks much faster than ever before.
