Genomic Sequencing for Drug-resistant Pathogens
Genomic sequencing is a form of genetic testing used to identify and characterize the DNA of drug-resistant pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. By identifying these pathogens, scientists are able to better understand how they cause disease, develop potential treatments, and protect humans from drug-resistant infections. Genomic sequencing is also used to monitor the spread of drug-resistant pathogens in humans and animals, helping to identify areas of high risk as well as potential interventions to prevent the spread of drug-resistant infections. By using genomic sequencing, scientists are able to develop more effective interventions to improve public health and reduce the spread of drug-resistant infections.
