- Abstract
The present era has witnessed remarkable technological advances in molecular diagnostics for microbial detection, encompassing techniques such as polymerase chain reaction, next-generation sequencing, and metagenomics. These methods have had significant impacts on turn-around time and patient care. In this review, we examine the advantages and disadvantages of both conventional microbiology and newer molecular methods used in the microbiology laboratory.
