answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Molecular diagnostic techniques that help to detect pathogens from suspected patients are:

(a) Recombinant DNA technology

(b) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

(c) Enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA)

These techniques are better than the conventional methods because they help in early diagnosis of the disease and give precise results even when the bacteria or virus concentration is very low.
