Recently, an increasing number of publications on automation in diagnostic laboratories, especially in microbiology, has illustrated its potential impact on modern medicine by enhancing the overall quality of culture-based microbiology testing. In the context of clinical microbiology, total laboratory automation (TLA) is now defined as automating the testing workflow, which comprises all phases from sample inoculation to outcome analysis. Hence, there is a need to design or implement proper laboratory automation management processes to enhance workflow, reduce analysis time, and deliver high-quality results without delay in treatment initiation. This review-cum-perspective article highlights the need and current advancements in diagnostic microbiology automation that could revolutionize laboratory operations in healthcare settings. Automation of the workflow is a crucial advancement in the recent history of laboratory diagnostics that unites many diagnostic specializations into a single track to increase the effectiveness, administration, standardization, reliability, and safety of lab tests. While clinical chemistry laboratories adopted and deployed laboratory automation decades e
