Evolving role of clinical microbiology: Impact of rapid bacterial identification and antimicrobial resistance
Sudha Pottumarthy Boddu
Australian Clinical Labs, Australia
Application of State-of-the-Art technology in clinical microbiology has recently seen the dramatic evolution of bacterial
identification methods to enable rapid laboratory diagnosis, bringing the clinical microbiology laboratory to the forefront.
While rapid bacterial identification plays a crucial role in empiric antibiotic treatment, in some instances it may also assist in
determining the epidemiology of the infection. The current clinical environment thus demands that the clinical microbiologists
maintain close communication with the clinicians, enabling timely translation of laboratory results to patient care. The above
concepts along with increasing antimicrobial resistance will be illustrated further with clinical scenarios encountered in daily
clinical practice.
