Fwd: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Weekly Digest Bulletin

Here is the latest edition of the CDC Weekly Digest Bulletin. It is an interesting series that has general value to Outcomes researchers, but this week is especially interesting because we have so many students with a background in movement science right now.

Enjoy!

TM www.cdc.gov PHIL Images From This Week 0016803 10/14/2016 08:00 AM EDT CDC microbiologist Kitty Anderson holds up two culture plates growing bacteria in the presence of discs containing various antibiotics. The isolate on the left plate is susceptible to the antibiotics on the discs, and is therefore, unable to grow adjacent to the discs. The plate on the right was inoculated with a Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) bacterium that proved to be resistant to almost all of the antibiotics tested, and is therefore, able to grow near the discs.   0018101 10/13/2016 08:00 AM EDT This image captured during the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak, depicts CDC employee Jennifer, and a lab technician in Guéckédou, Guinea, as they were demonstrating the first step involved in the preparation of lab samples, which entails soaking the sealed samples in a container filled with a bleach solution, in order to disinfect the exteriors of the sample containers.   0016808 10/12/2016 08:00 AM EDT Working in the confines of a ventilated hood, and wearing a blue-colored protective bio-hazard suite, this 2014 image depicts Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Microbiologist, Tatiana Travis, as she was in the process of preparing a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test in order to detect drug-resistant pathogens. In her right hand she held a mechanized pipette containing a blue solution that she was pipetting into a 96-well plate, which she held in her left hand.   0019830 10/11/2016 08:00 AM EDT Captured inside the National Polio Laboratory located in Ibadan, the capital city of the Oyo State of Nigeria, this image depicts activities taking place during a training course on Intra-typic differentiation (ITD) methods for the detection of Polio viruses in support of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Polio Eradication Initiative. At this point in the course, Dr. Bola Ajuwan, was demonstrating enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques to other staff members.   Content source: Office of the Associate Director for Communications, Division of Public Affairs National Health Statistics Reports Update 10/14/2016 You are subscribed to receive email updates regarding National Health Statistics Reports from the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
