Abstract:
While automation has recently been introduced into the diagnostic chemistry and hematology sections of clinical laboratories, a great controversy still exists regarding automated microbiology laboratories. It is noteworthy that semi-automated microbiology systems have already been implemented several years ago in microbial LdentLficatLon profiOes, blood culture equipment, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing procedures. However, clinical specimen handling and processing, and culture manual protocols, remain largely dependent on the microbiology lab manpower
