PulseNet
PulseNet members compare the DNA fingerprints of bacteria from patients to find clusters of disease that might represent unrecognized outbreaks. By identifying ongoing foodborne outbreaks, health officials can stop an outbreak, and industry and regulatory agencies can make changes to improve food and water safety. That’s how PulseNet impacts public health.
