Today, molecular typing methods play an essential role in many medical issues. These techniques, which are introduced every day by introducing new methods, increase the accuracy of their results. They have also enabled us to better understanding the status quo, advice on health system problematic subjects, and avoid further preventive measures from occurring. Molecular typing methods allow researchers to study the association between isolated pathogens and compare the results to their colonized origin. It also helps to differentiate and detect environmental contaminations from infectious species, identify and track hospital infections from its source. Nowadays, these methods have been used in many countries in health centers and hospitals. These tests have been able to play a significant role in controlling the spread of infection and reducing health costs. One of these tests is Pulse Field Jel Electrophoresis (PFGE) that plays an important role in water- and food-borne disease. Set of the whole system requires huge investment throughout the country need in order to provide a laboratory network to register all sporadic and epidemic cases. This program will not be progress without the support of health system with cooperation of and research centers.Therefore, in this paper, we tried to examine the features and limitations of the pulse field electrophoresis, and provide a functional model that would help the health system to provide the required warning. It is hoped that with the corrective comments of the dear scholars, there would be an appropriate system for achieving this goal.
