Simple counts of the number of confirmed cases can be misleading indicators of the epidemic’s trajectory if these counts are limited by problems in access to care or bottlenecks in laboratory testing, or if only patients with severe cases are tested. Since its initial implementation for bacterial identification in 1975, mass spectrometry has helped to resolve time-constraint dilemmas imposed by traditional bacterial identification and characterization methods, and has permitted the generation of protein profiles specific enough for the identification of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their molecular components. 1787–1966 (December 2011) Volume 111, Issue 11 .

In the 1970s, on the basis of molecular comparisons of evolutionarily conserved ribosomal genes, Carl Woese proposed the then-heretical notion that the bacteria actually made up two separate domains, the Bacteria and the Archaea, each as distinct from one another as they are from the Eukaryotes, the third domain that comprises all “higher forms” of life (Woese 1987). 2006).
