Abstract

The theory-practice gap receives much attention in the press and in discussions--what does it mean? There are differences and similarities between the service and education sectors--is it a gap?

Speculations on the microbiology laboratory of the future.

Changes in the availability of skilled laboratory personnel, new technologies, and the financial environment will all influence the practice of diagnostic microbiology in the near and more distant future. Because of the special expertise needed for the accurate identification of anaerobic bacteria, the ability to diagnose anaerobic infections may decline as a consequence of these changes. Physicians should anticipate a difficult time in the years between the loss of expertise in traditional methods and development of reliable and accurate molecular assays.
