Serotyping has been the core of #PH monitoring of Salmonella infections for over 50 years. Scientists use DNA testing to further divide each serotype into subtypes and to detect more outbreaks. With next generation sequencing (#NGS) technology, advancements continue. (1/2)

This report is dedicated to the 48,700 families who lose a loved one each year to antibiotic resistance or Clostridioides difficile, and the countless healthcare providers, public health experts, innovators, and others who are fighting back with everything they have.
NEW: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria & fungi cause more than 2.8M infections and 35k deaths in the United States each year, according to the second #CDCARthreats Report released today. Progress has been made, but aggressive action must continue. bit.ly/CDCARthreats
