Description:$241,009 Funding for AR Activities Fiscal Year 2017
Funding to local health departments:
$210,995 - RAPID DETECTION & RESPONSE to emerging drug-resistant germs is critical to contain the spread of these infections. With 2016 funding, Idaho increased its capacity to respond to emerging threats. The Idaho Bureau of Laboratories has identified the necessary laboratory procedures to participate in the AR Laboratory Network, and the HAI/AR program has supported investigations into 39 confirmed outbreaks.
$30,014 - FOOD SAFETY projects protect communities by rapidly identifying drug-resistant foodborne bacteria to stop and solve outbreaks and improve prevention. Idaho implemented whole genome sequencing of Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter and E. coli isolates submitted to its lab and began uploading sequence data into PulseNet for nationwide monitoring of outbreaks and trends. In Fiscal Year 2018, Idaho will begin simultaneously monitoring these isolates for resistance genes. When outbreaks are detected, local CDC-supported epidemiologists investigate the cases to stop spread.
