The swift establishment of the cause/origin of a microbial infection and commencement of pathogen-specific chemotherapy stands as the key foundation for the effective treatment of infections. Even with the advancement in technology engaged in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and their resistant genes (DNA-based assays), the conventional cultural techniques and susceptibility testing are still employed as reference for bacteriological studies of infections (Tellapragada et al. 2020).
