Molecular Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases in Personalized Medicine Fuels the North America Molecular Diagnostics for Infectious Disease Market

Genome research has become more convenient and cost-effective with progress in high-throughput techniques. Molecular diagnostics is becoming increasingly indispensable in clinical laboratories as these kits and tests provide rapid detection results as opposed to conventional tests, which involve culturing microbes in laboratory conditions in a few cases. Medical treatments and interventions are tailored to each patient using precision medicine based on their unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. Molecular diagnostics plays an important role in this approach, as it enables the identification of specific biomarkers, genetic mutations, and gene expression patterns that impact decision-making related to the treatment of patients. Drug development has become increasingly dependent on molecular diagnostics. Various molecular imaging techniques are used in screening, detecting, diagnosing, treating, and assessing heterogeneity to make progression plans, examine molecular characteristics, and monitor patient outcomes. Personalized medicine generally aims to interrogate the genomic information of a patient, e.g., drug metabolism polymorphisms help guide drug choice and dosage. In infectious diseases, personalized medicine concepts can be used to rapidly identify disease-causing microorganisms, determine their antimicrobial resistance profiles, and ascertain an appropriate antimicrobial treatment for the proper management of the patient based on the results. Point-of-care testing for infectious diseases requires the acceptance of medical authorities, development of new technology and communication platforms, and reimbursement policies so that the greatest number of patients can benefit from lifesaving and time-saving procedures. Introducing these techniques into clinical practice would enable the identification of molecular targets in each patient, along with facilitating the tracking of the molecular progression of diseases.

Thus, with ever-evolving technology, the market for molecular diagnostics for infectious diseases seems to have a bright future.

North America Molecular Diagnostics for Infectious Disease Market Overview

The increasing prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) and rise in awareness of diagnosis and treatment for TB in Mexico is fueling the growth of the molecular diagnosis for infectious diseases market. According to StopTB Partnership Organization, the number of people suffering from TB rose from 30,000 in 2019 to 31,000 in 2020. The growing focus of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established several international laboratory projects in Mexico. These projects include two projects for the detection of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB cases in Sonora and Baja California, Mexico. The common goal of these two projects is to build capacity for state and national disease control program to identify the group at risk and conduct rapid TB tests on that group. These initiatives for screening the masses for TB are creating awareness in the Mexican population. In addition, the extensively growing pharmaceuticals industry, developing healthcare infrastructure, and elevating demand for diagnostic testing products bolster the molecular diagnostics for infectious diseases market growth in Mexico. In February 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced significant advancements in the diagnosis of TB and drug resistance in children, adolescents, and adults. The three new classes of technologies announced for testing TB were as follows:

• Moderate-complexity automated Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAATs) for the diagnosis of TB and detection of variants resistant to rifampicin and isoniazid

• Low-complexity automated NAATs for detection of resistance to isoniazid and second-line anti-TB agents

• High-complexity hybridization-based NAATs for the detection of resistance to pyrazinamide.
