Infection risk

Molecular classification: Other

Overview

Infection risk refers to the likelihood of an individual or population acquiring an infection following exposure to an infectious agent. It is a central term in biosafety, laboratory safety, public health, and clinical epidemiology, guiding mitigation measures and informed decision-making for prevention and control. Risk assessment methods consider characteristics of infectious agents, hazards of procedures, environmental and host factors, routes of transmission, and control measures. It is not a specific molecular target for therapy but represents a quantitative or qualitative assessment of hazard.
