近年来，公众对医疗服务需求日益增加。细菌、真菌实验室标本送检量逐年攀升，使临床微生物实验室面临着极大的挑战，现有的检验观念、方法、流程已不能满足未来临床需求。随着人们认知的更新，以及新设备、新技术、新方法不断投入使用，临床微生物实验室全面自动化已经不再是梦想。这将对细菌、真菌检验领域的迅猛发展产生巨大的推动作用。

The demands of public medical services are consistently increasing in the recent years.The amount of samlples for bacterial and fungal examination is also soring and brings a great challenge to the clinical microbiology laboratories. Current working concepts, testing methods and workflows can not satisfy the demands of laboratory microbiological diagnosis. Yet the renewal of knowledge, applications of novel equipments and testing assays has made the full microbiology laboratory automation feasible. It is expected to introduce revolutionary changes in laboratory diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infectious diseases.
