Pathogen Surveillance

The holistic approach of One Health, which sees human, animal, plant, and environmental health as a unit, rather than discrete parts, requires not only interdisciplinary cooperation, but standardized methods for communicating and archiving data, enabling participants to easily share what they have learned and allow others to build upon their findings.Ongoing work by NCBI and the GenomeTrakr project illustrates how open data platforms can help meet the needs of federal and state regulators, public health laboratories, departments of agriculture, and universities. Here we describe how microbial pathogen surveillance can be transformed by having an open access database along with Best Practices for contributors to follow. First, we describe the open pathogen surveillance framework, hosted on the NCBI platform. We cover the current community standards for WGS quality, provide an SOP for assessing your own sequence quality and recommend QC thresholds for all submitters to follow. We then provide an overview of NCBI data submission along with step by step details. And finally, we provide curation guidance and an SOP for keeping your public data current within the database. These Best Practices can be models for other open data projects, thereby advancing the One Health goals of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable (FAIR) data.

Resistance Data

Objective: Antibiotic resistance is one of the most significant problems of human-animal and environmental ecosystems. It is crucial to establish integrated surveillance systems and monitor resistance for the management of antibiotic resistance. Standardization of antibiotic resistance data obtained from various disciplines is the critical point in enhancing the data quality. To realize this objective, a common antibiotic susceptibility testing training program was prepared and performed for professionals from various disciplines to standardize the resistance data to be obtained from the human, animal, and environmental sectors in our country. Method: A total of 48 individuals participated in a five-day training program in three terms. In each period, four small groups, each consisting of four people from a group of different professions, were generated. Participants were trained on quality control, phenotypic tests, genotypic tests, and the use of resistance data in antibiotic susceptibility testing. Pre-test and post-tests were applied to the participants. Results: Individuals with a postgraduate degree who studied antibiotic susceptibility testing in the fields of medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, food, and environment participated in the training. The average number of correct answers in the pre-test and post-test increased from 4.8 to 10.5 in April, from 4 to 9 in June and from 3.4 to 8.5 in September. They studied phenotypic and genotypic tests in the supplied isolates under the supervision of the educators. Conclusion: We presume that dissemination of the training at graduate and postgraduate levels will also enable the One-Health approach to become widespread. In addition, worldwide application of similar trainings will help standardization of resistance data, as well as one health approach.

Health ministers met to discuss global recovery and the G20 Declaration on Health was subsequently published. It sets forth the G20's intentions for achieving global health goals, including tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and fulfilling priorities surrounding healthy and sustainable recovery, One Health resilience, coordinated and collaborative responses and the accessibility of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics. A key focus is on collaboration and people-centred preparedness, a need for which was highlighted by the pandemic, as well as strengthening healthcare systems through continuous investment. The Declaration underlines the need to, 'strengthen our collective preparedness to prevent, detect, report, and respond to health emergencies and notably promoting resilience of health systems and communities; to create trust by exchanging reliable information, data and scientific knowledge in a timely manner to develop science- and evidence-informed policies, measures and tools; and to sustain financial support and economic recovery in order to achieve full implementation of the 2019 Political Declaration on Universal Health Coverage (UHC).' A primary commitment for the G20 health ministers is providing 'timely, equitable and global access to safe, affordable and effective COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics (VTDs).' This includes promoting confidence in vaccines by providing reliable information. Further important elements of the Declaration are whole-society cooperation and cross-border collaboration, as well as the importance of a One Health approach. Concerns that emerged from the meeting were antimicrobial resistance (AMR), food systems and environmental health. Solutions will involve improved surveillance of antimicrobial use and the rise of resistance to new and existing therapeutics.

Purpose To effectively prepare students to engage in interprofessional practice, a number of Communication Disorders (COMD) programs are designing new courses and creating additional opportunities to develop the interprofessional competencies that will support future student success in health and education-related fields. The ECHO (Educational Community Health Outreach) program is one example of how the Rongxiang Xu College of Health and Human Services at California State University, Los Angeles, has begun to create these opportunities. The ultimate goal of the ECHO project is to increase both access to and continuity of oral health care across communities in the greater Los Angeles area. Method We describe this innovative interdisciplinary training program within the context of current interprofessional education models. First, we describe the program and its development. Second, we describe how COMD students benefit from the training program. Third, we examine how students from other disciplines experience benefits related to interprofessional education and COMD. Fourth, we provide reflections and insights from COMD faculty who participated in the project. Conclusions The ECHO program has great potential for continuing to build innovative clinical training opportunities for students with the inclusion of Child and Family Studies, Public Health, Nursing, and Nutrition departments. These partnerships push beyond the norm of disciplines often used in collaborative efforts in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Additionally, the training students received with ECHO incorporates not only interprofessional education but also relevant and important aspects of diversity and inclusion, as well as strengths-based practices.
