Typhi Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hello! How are you today? I'm a Microbiologist and I ride horses. I graduated from AUM (Auburn University at Montgomery) in 2002 and I work for the Alabama State Lab. I'm am 27 years old. I am trained in: DFA Rabies testing per CDC protocol and process in specimens (opening animal heads, dissecting brains) Gonostat Enterics (which I'm working now) E.coli 0157:H7 testing per Reference (CDC) protocol Processing Parasitology I really enjoy Reference Bacteriology and Enteric pathogens. I also ride hunter/Jumper horses and have 2 of my own; a Thoroughbred and a Hanoverian/Thoroughbred. I horse show on the weekends and train my own horses. We also have a Bioterrorism lab here and we work with the FBI when something with Anthrax comes here. It's really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisy Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Nice to meet you Typhi....your work sounds very interesting. I believe I just read recently that in the US you have had 3 transplant patients being infected with rabies form an organ donor. Any thoughts on that?

Typhi Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Well I never thought that a transplanted organ would have the rabies virus. I knew that the virus could stay alive for some peoriods of time, but since the organs were kept cooled, the virus stayed alive mich longer. I think that when a person dies that their brain should be check for the rabies virus, esp if it's neurological. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
