  Precision Medicine in Microbiology: Tailoring Treatments for Individual Patients
  Author(s): Daniel Fang*
  
  Precision medicine has revolutionized healthcare by tailoring medical treatments to the unique genetic, molecular and environmental characteristics of individual patients. While this approach has gained significant recognition in fields like oncology and genetics, its application in microbiology is still in its infancy. Microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, exhibit remarkable diversity and adaptability, making them challenging targets for standardized treatments. This article explores the emerging field of precision medicine in microbiology, highlighting the potential benefits, challenges and future prospects of tailoring treatments for individual patients based on their microbiome and pathogen profiles. Keywords: Precision medicine, microbiology, microbiome, personalized medicine, infectious diseases... Read More»
