The spiral evolution of techniques for the laboratory diagnosis of microbial infections

Yi-Wei Tang, Nahed Ismail, Rodolfo García-Contreras

The laboratory diagnosis of microbial infections has undergone a profound transformation over the past century, evolving from classical phenotypic methods to molecular genetic approaches and now toward ultra-sensitive molecular phenotyping. While this progression is often described as linear, a closer examination reveals a cyclical pattern: an initial reliance on observable biological function, followed by a shift toward genetic abstraction, and, more recently, a return to phenotypic measurement at unprecedented mo …
