Key points
- Opportunities exist in many exciting areas concerning the molecular epidemiology and biology of pathogenic streptococci and pneumococci.
- This page provides a brief summary of fellowship opportunities organized by CDC, the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), and others.
In the Streptococcus Laboratory
CDC's Streptococcus Laboratory offers training to individuals from laboratories with a demonstrated need. Training opportunities include:
- Streptococcal and pneumococcal serology
- Antibiotic susceptibility testing
- DNA sequence-based strain surveillance
- Streptococcal strain characterization by polymerase chain reaction-based methods
Scientists with externally provided salaries are welcome to inquire concerning research and training projects in this laboratory. The laboratory has a history of several successful collaborations of this nature. Often researchers bring their own clinical isolate collections for study in CDC's laboratory in order to simultaneously:
- Answer questions concerning strain features
- Receive hands-on training
