Main Article Content
Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into the field of microbiology is making a significant impact on both research and clinical practices. These technologies are now play a important role to understand microbial systems, improve diagnostic accuracy, speed up drug discovery and tailor treatments to individual patients. The applications of AI in the field of microbiology include helping in genome sequencing, predicting antimicrobial resistance among pathogens, for developing vaccines and analyzing microbiomes. In industrial areas, AI is act as important tool in quality control and safety in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. However, despite these advancements, thereare still challenges that prevent us from fully realizing the potential of AI and ML in microbiology.
Although some issues such as inconsistent data quality, the complexity of algorithms that can be difficult to interpret, alack ofregulatoryguidelines and ethical concerns surrounding data privacy and algorithm bias must be addressed. There is a pressing need for collaboration across various fields, transparent development of models, and cooperation among academic institutions and healthcare providers globally. In the future, we can expect in novations indeeplearning, hybrid modeling techniques, andthe development of international standardsand policies to drive further advancements. With responsible implementation and ongoing research, AI and ML areset to become essential tools in microbiology, offering innovative solutions to persistent challenges in healthcare, diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. This review focuses on the current uses, challenges, and future directions of AI in microbiology, high lighting the importance of ethical considerations, collaboration and data-driven strategies to achieve meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Global Health, Machine learning, Antimicrobial resistance, Personalized healthcare.
