Nucleic acid technology is reshaping the laboratory approach to infectious diseases. The intrinsic advantages of the molecular diagnostic approach, coupled with rapid technical progress in this field, ensure its expanding role in clinical microbiology and virology. Interpretation of molecular tests requires a thorough understanding of their theoretical foundations, and laboratory professionals should renew their commitment to education in this area.
