Advanced Therapies In Diagnostic Microbiology

Advanced Therapies in Diagnostic Microbiology 

Many advanced therapies have been invented to diagnose the infection. Standard therapies and recent advances have been invented. The treatment options include the use of cyberknives which is the latest molecular diagnostic tool for the treatment of neoplastic diseases. Recent techniques have proved that there is no disease that cannot be treated. The wonderful cure by antimicrobials shifted the disease trends from infectious to life-style diseases in the developed world. The recent trends in development of antimicrobial resistance are more towards Gram Negative bacteria, although significant resistance is seenwith Gram positive bacteria (MRSA, Clostridiumdifficle) also. Similar reports are seen with Viruses (HIV), parasites (Plasmodiumfalciparum) and several antifungals. These modalities form the hope for the future to curb the development of antimicrobial resistance.

                                         Advances in high-throughput DNA-sequencing techniques have given us the unprecedented ability to rapidly determine the nucleotide sequences of entire bacterial genomes. For some specific applications, microalgae can be considered even a better system than bacteria and fungi. There are several regulatory and ethical issues regarding the safety and efficacy of this therapies . Further research and clinical trials are needed, and more data is required for their approval by US-FDA. These therapies are a new hope to save the humanity from menace of antimicrobial resistance.
