Pathogen testing has a significant impact on public health:
Outbreak Control: Rapid identification of pathogens during outbreaks can lead to swift public health responses, reducing the spread of disease. Vaccination Campaigns: Identifying prevalent pathogens can guide the development and deployment of vaccines. Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring: Testing helps in tracking the spread of resistant pathogens and informs appropriate antibiotic use. Global Health Security: Pathogen testing contributes to global efforts in preventing and controlling infectious diseases, enhancing health security.
