  • Title: Automated and rapid methods in clinical microbiology: past, present and future.
    Author: Tierno PM, Hanna BA.
    Journal: Clin Lab Med; 1988 Dec; 8(4):643-51. PubMed ID: 3061724.
    Abstract:
    Instrument development in microbiology has focused on automating the traditional process of bacterial identification using growth-dependent technology. With the advent of genetic tools, advances in immunology, and engineering innovations microbiologists are moving away from the traditions of culture-dependent technology and are concentrating on the development of rapid, specific, nongrowth-dependent systems with a potential for automation.
