技术进步扩大了临床微生物实验室在支持管理和控制卫生保健相关感染（HAI）方面的作用。微生物抗原和核酸表征的新方法补充了诊断能力。基因组“指纹图谱”使研究院内病原体的传播成为可能。监测其抗微生物药物耐药性模式已变得至关重要。然而，微生物检测在改善HAI治疗和预防方面的成本效益应用还需要进一步研究。(C) 2004 Elsevier SAS。版权所有。
Technological advances have expanded the role of the clinical microbiology laboratory in supporting management and control of health-care-associated infections (HAI). Diagnostic capabilities have been complemented by new methods for characterisation of microbial antigens and nucleic acids. Genomic "fingerprinting" enables the study of transmission of nosocomial pathogens. Monitoring of their antimicrobial resistance patterns has gained critical importance. However, cost-effective application of microbiological testing for improved treatment and prevention of HAI requires further study. (C) 2004 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
