PulseNet
PulseNet compares the DNA fingerprints of bacteria from patients to find clusters of disease that represent unrecognized outbreaks. Identifying outbreaks and their sources helps health officials stop outbreaks and helps industry and food regulatory agencies make changes to improve food and water delivery systems. That’s where PulseNet comes in.
