Pathoblockers weaken bacteria and inhibit their pathogenic effects. They might be used in the future as an alternative to antibiotics or as a supplement to support the efficacy of antibiotics that by themselves have become ineffective.
A pathogen repository collects and stores clinically relevant pathogens and associated data for use in research, product development and for validation, training and quality assurance in laboratories.
Personalized medicine takes into account the individual characteristics of the patient and the disease in order to tailor prevention, diagnosis, or treatment as precisely as possible.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) refers to preventive medical measures taken when a person has had contact with a pathogen. This is intended to prevent the outbreak of the disease or to mitigate its course.
