✔✔What are the the 3 options for laying hen flocks if they test positive for Salmonella
enteritidis ? - ✔✔1. Divert eggs to pasteurization for LIFE OF FLOCK
2. Depopulate flock (if diverting not an option)
3. Egg testing (need 4 consecutive negative egg tests to return to production)
✔✔What happens if a flock that tested positive for Salmonella enteritidis chose to
conduct egg testing, and had one of their 4 consecutive samples test positive again? -
✔✔Must divert eggs for pasteurization for the life of the flock at this point. 1 egg test per
month for the life of the flock
✔✔How many Salmonella enteritidis cells does it take to infect a chick at one day old? 3
weeks? - ✔✔100 at 1 day, 1 million at 3 weeks
✔✔(T/F) Salmonella enteritidis vaccination is currently mandated under the FDA Egg
Rule - ✔✔False - not mandatory, but strongly recommended through UEP
✔✔What are 3 key aspects of a Food Defense Plan? - ✔✔1. Vulnerability assessment
(public health severity, physical access to product, ease of contamination)
2. Mitigation strategies when warranted (includes monitoring, corrective actions, and
verification)
3. Training of staff
✔✔What type of organism is Coxiella burnetii ? - ✔✔Intracellular gram-neg bacteria
✔✔What are the four major bacteria currently under surveillance by NARMS? -
✔✔National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System
Salmonella
Campylobacter
Escherichia coli
, Enterococcus
✔✔AMDUCA - ✔✔Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994
Allowed licensed veterinarians to prescribe extra label uses of approved animal drugs
and human drugs in animals
✔✔(T/F) Enrofloxacicin is approved in poultry if given via water - ✔✔False - in 2005
FDA ordered the withdrawal of approval for enrofloxacin for the purpose of treating
bacterial infections in poultry
✔✔Which Act authorizes the Secretary (delegated to CDC director) to make and
enforce regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of
communicable disease between states or into the states from foreign countries? -
✔✔The Public Health Service ActNote: enforcement can include inspection, pest
extermination, destruction of animals or articles that are sources of infection to human
beings, and quarantine and isolation
✔✔What does the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) of 1996 do? -
✔✔Reciprocal recognition of professional licenses and certificates among States during
an Emergency
✔✔What Act authorizes the Secretary of HHS to determine that a public health
emergency exists because of a disease or disorder, significant outbreaks of infectious
diseases, or a bioterrorism attack? - ✔✔The Public Health Service Act
✔✔What is the proper rabies post exposure management for dogs, cats, and ferrets
that have never been vaccinated? - ✔✔Euthanasia OR Administer vaccine w/in 96 hrs
of exposure and strict quarantine for 4 months (dogs/cats), 6 months (ferrets)
If vax is delayed, consider extending quarantine to 6 months
✔✔If an animal is exposed to rabies, and owners are unable to provide proof of
vaccination, serological monitoring can be performed, but must be done when? -
✔✔within 96 hours of exposure-first sample needs to be early enough to avoid
capturing response to rabies exposure in a truly vaccinated animal
The process is:
Day 0 draw sample then vax
Day 5-7: draw second serum sampleMust show anamnestic response (>2 fold rise in
titer with second titer being >0.5 IU/mL) to treat as previously vaccinated
✔✔3 goals for optimizing antibiotic use to reduce resistance - ✔✔1. Selection (choose
the right abx for the infection/patient)
2. Dose (right amount)
3. Duration (right amount of time)
