Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) Compendium
The Current & Emerging Threats (CET) project is adding a new section to the CET resource catalog- the Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) Compendium.
The MDRO Compendium will grow as antimicrobial resistant organisms become greater safety concerns to the nephrology patient population. It is designed to help heath care professionals better understand risks, testing, IPC precautions, and treatments for MDROs.

Ebola Alert February 13, 2025
The CDC has issued a Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory about a recently confirmed outbreak of Ebola disease in Uganda caused by the Sudan virus (species Orthoebolavirus sudanense) and to summarize CDC’s recommendations for U.S. public health departments and clinicians about case identification, testing, and biosafety considerations in clinical laboratories.
Currently, no suspected, probable, or confirmed Ebola cases related to this outbreak have been reported in the United States, or outside of Uganda. However, as a precaution and because there are other viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) outbreaks in East Africa, CDC is sharing best practices for public health departments, public health and clinical laboratories, and healthcare workers in the United States to raise awareness about this outbreak.
