About pathogenic microorganisms
Pathogenic microorganisms like bacteria and fungi are a rapidly emerging, major threat to human, animal and plant life. Growing microbial resistance, population growth, global trade and increasing mobility have reinforced the need for quick, easy and simple diagnostic procedures at the point of origin in order to prevent proliferation at the earliest possible stage.
