Molecular Microbiology
Molecular diagnostics is a collection of techniques used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome—the individual's genetic code and how their cells express their genes as proteins—by applying molecular biology to medical testing. Mainly because of their relative simplicity, ease of manipulation and growth in vitro, and importance in medicine, bacteria were instrumental in the development of molecular biology. In this report, we study global trends in the usage and purchase of diagnostic kits for the quantitative PCR detection and identification of pathogenic microorganisms using molecular microbiology (DNA/RNA diagnostics), both in human and veterinary medicine.
