Agnostic Detection Challenges and Opportunities
Because of the importance of speed in responding to emerging public health threats, agnostic detection can play an important role in strengthening surveillance globally. While traditional detection techniques are target specific, agnostic detection methods are unbiased approaches that can surveil the environment to detect a broad range of pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, […]

The Power of Agnostic Detection
In cases of infectious disease outbreaks or emerging antimicrobial resistance, time is critical and waiting to identify a pathogen using traditional target specific methods could mean losing valuable response time and efficacy. Further, agnostic detection methods such as metagenomic sequencing analyze all of the genetic material in a sample, enabling the detection of unknown or […]

Agnostic Detection Methods for Pathogens
New infectious disease pathogens are emerging at an unprecedented rate and global travel allows them to spread faster than ever before. In fact, several new viruses, possibly thousands of new bacteria, and approximately 2,500 new fungi are discovered each year. Pathogens like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), and the SARS-CoV-2 virus have […]
