Recently we celebrated Louis Pasteur’s two-hundred birthday, the pioneer of modern microbiology. Of course, many things have changed in science since then. Great advances were witnessed during this time, and these are becoming faster and faster [1,2].

At the end of the XXth century, when I was a medical student, clinical and research laboratories in my country used completely manual testing for microorganisms identification and susceptibility testing.
