Pathogen identification is a research area focused on identifying and characterizing microorganisms that cause infections or diseases in humans, animals, plants, or the environment. Researchers use various techniques such as DNA sequencing, protein analysis, and biochemical tests to identify and classify pathogens. This information is essential for diagnosing infections, tracking disease outbreaks, developing new treatments, and implementing effective control measures. Pathogen identification plays a critical role in public health, agriculture, and environmental science.
