The MIDRP strives to defeat infection by developing solutions to prevent, treat, and diagnose
naturally occurring infectious disease threats to eliminate their impacts on operational readiness
of DOD personnel. Prevention is the most desirable infectious disease countermeasure because
it prevents disease from occurring (versus treatment post-infection), is the most cost-effective
approach, and reduces casualty rates. Improved diagnosis and treatment of infectious disease
casualties is necessary to protect the U.S. Armed Forces. Due to the ever-increasing resistance to
presently available treatments, continued countermeasure developments need to be pursued. The
vision of the MIDRP wound infections capability area is to conduct basic and applied research
leading to the development of rapid identification, prevention, and effective treatment solutions
to mitigate complications from multidrug-resistant wound infections in multi-domain operations
(MDOs) and during prolonged care. However, without understanding how current standard of
care interventions work best to prevent, delay, or treat infection, MIDRP cannot lead and
develop new medical countermeasures.
