New outbreak : FDA Alerts Consumers about Risk of Antibiotic-Resistant Brucella Linked to Raw Milk
The FDA is supporting the CDC and other organisation agencies in an investigation of a case of brucellosis linked to the consumption of raw milk from Udder milk, a "Co-op" that sells raw milk in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
News from ILPT : EURL team is waiting for transport authorisations from ANSM
For your information, the EURL team prepared all materials / documents to launch the ILPT in 2017, November. Since 5 weeks, the EURL team is waiting for transport authorisations, which have to be delivered by ANSM (National Agency for drug security). Usually, such authorisations are delivered within 2-3 weeks. However, according to ANSM, some additional verifications were requested, thus leading to a slippage in the timetable.
We apologize for this unforeseen delay that is beyond our control. As a consequence, we are obliged to wait before shipping the strain panel and reagents (phages / sera...) and to postpone the launch of ILPT in 2018.
We will let you know as soon as we receive some additional information from ANSM.
Meanwhile, we wish you a happy Holiday season, with best wishes for a 2018 full of opportunities and common projects on Brucella !
