Detection of dangerous pathogens (CAT#: STEM-ST-0360-WXH)

Introduction

Pathogens are defined as organisms that can cause diseases in their hosts. They are taxonomically widely diverse, and include bacteria, viruses, unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and are prevalent in the environment. Many pathogens can be transmitted from the environment to the human population, cause outbreaks, and become a threat to public health. One example is Vibrio cholerae, a natural inhabitant of aquatic ecosystems transmitted by contaminated water or food, causing cholera.
