  2. Overview • Purpose of Global Salm-Surv • Members • Logic Model • Programs • Future Plans

  3. Global Salm-Surv A global network of people and institutions involved in Salmonella surveillance, serotyping and antimicrobial resistance testing

  4. Purpose of Global Salm-Surv To strengthen and enhance the capacities of national and regional laboratories in Salmonella surveillance and antimicrobial resistance in humans, food and animals

  5. Global Salm-Surv Logic Model 2001 Objectives Identified Needs

  6. Global Salm-Surv Membership General Member = A person involved in Salmonella surveillance, serotyping or antimicrobial susceptibility testing
