On October 18, 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) presented the October session of Public Health Grand Rounds, “Changes in Clinical Diagnostics and Tracking Infectious Diseases.” The session focused on how culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDTs) are changing the landscape of diagnosing infectious disease. Speakers also discussed how the tests are evolving, and how some states are adapting to using CIDTs in their public health systems. Watch a recording of the session.
