Implementation of novel diagnostic techniques has revolutionized the microbiology laboratory: MALDI-TOF MS and nucleic acid-based assays were extensively evaluated for alternative applications in the diagnostic practice, such as the identification of potential carbapenemase-producing bacterial strains, malaria diagnosis and a syndromic multiplex PCR system for the diagnosis of gastroenteritis and meningitis. These applications have a significant effect on the best clinical management of infectious diseases.
