Abstract

Technological advancements have changed the way clinical microbiology laboratories are detecting and identifying bacterial, viral, parasitic, and yeast/fungal pathogens. Such advancements have improved sensitivity and specificity and reduce turnaround time to reporting of clinically important results. This article discusses and reviews some traditional methodologies along with some of the technological innovations introduced into diagnostic microbiology laboratories. Some insight to what might be available in the coming years is also discussed.

Keywords: advancements; clinical microbiology; technology; veterinary.
