I wonder if “microbicidologist” will become a specialized medical profession like anesthesiologist or pharmacist. (Some procedure or knowledge that’s uniquely complex.)
Feels like we’re entering an age where knowing what antibiotic to administer, for how long, and when to shelve one permanently is going to require more specialized training out of the scope of the usual GP.
Could imagine hospitals separating pharmacology and microbicidology into two departments, so newer antimicrobial agents only get dispensed for severe resistant cases, and I’d imagine there’d be a lot of reporting for each case.
