The Future of Antibiotics: Laboratory Roles in Combating Antibiotic Resistance

     Antibiotics, once hailed as miracle drugs, have saved countless lives since their discovery. However, their efficacy is increasingly threatened by the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria—a global health crisis that demands immediate attention. This article describes some of the pivotal roles the laboratory plays in understanding, monitoring and counteracting this pressing issue. Diagnostic Testing       Laboratories are at the forefront of antibiotic resistance combat by providing accurate and rapid diagnostic tests. These tests identify the specific bacteria causing an infection and determine their susceptibility to various antibiotics. Rapid diagnostics help healthcare providers prescribe targeted antibiotic treatments, minimizing unnecessary antibiotic use and curbing the development of resistance.   Surveillance and Monitoring      Laboratories participate in surveillance programs, continuously monitoring the preval...
