Microbiology reference laboratories perform a crucial role within public health systems. This role was especially evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this Viewpoint, we emphasise the importance of microbiology reference laboratories and highlight the types of digital data and expertise they provide, which benefit national and international public health. We also highlight the value of surveillance initiatives among collaborative international partners, who work together to share, analyse, and interpret data, and then disseminate their findings in a timely manner.

Analysis of 100 consecutive personalized bacteriophage therapy cases supports the use of personalized and sometimes pre-adapted, bacteriophage preparations, often in combination with antibiotics.

El estudio se basa en el análisis de la vacuna conjugada 13-valente contra esta infección y en la evaluación de sus efectos en otras bacterias colonizadoras.

Dynamic trends of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) including the evolution of prevalent serotypes are very useful to evaluate the impact of current and future pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs)...

La resistencia a los antibióticos ha emergido como una de las principales amenazas para la salud pública en el siglo XXI. La Revisión sobre la Resistencia Antimicrobiana, encargada por el Gobierno del...
