Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Research:
There is an overwhelming trend towards COVID-19-related research, including studies on its epidemiology, clinical outcomes, vaccine efficacy, and long-term sequelae. - Antimicrobial Stewardship and Resistance Studies:
Increased attention is being paid to antimicrobial stewardship programs and studies investigating the mechanisms and epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance. - Use of Machine Learning and AI:
Emerging research utilizing machine learning and artificial intelligence for predicting infection outcomes and improving diagnostics is gaining traction. - Global Health and Infectious Disease Surveillance:
Research focusing on global surveillance of infectious diseases and the impact of social determinants on health is increasingly emphasized. - Long COVID and Post-Acute Sequelae:
The exploration of long COVID and its multifaceted impact on health is an emerging area of research, reflecting growing concerns about the long-term consequences of the pandemic. - Metagenomic and Genomic Approaches:
There is a rising interest in using metagenomic and genomic sequencing techniques to study complex infections, pathogen diversity, and the microbiome's role in health and disease.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Bacteriology:
Research focused solely on traditional bacteriology methods is declining as newer molecular techniques and metagenomics gain prominence in the diagnosis of infections. - Vaccine Hesitancy Studies:
There seems to be a reduction in studies specifically addressing vaccine hesitancy, as the immediate concerns surrounding COVID-19 vaccination have shifted to broader public health strategies. - Historical Infectious Disease Research:
Research focusing on historical perspectives of infectious diseases has waned, with a greater emphasis now on contemporary issues and real-time data analysis. - Single-Pathogen Studies:
There is a trend away from studies that focus on single pathogens in isolation, moving towards research that examines co-infections and the interactions between multiple pathogens. - Invasive Fungal Infections:
Although still important, the volume of research specifically dedicated to invasive fungal infections has decreased as more researchers focus on bacterial and viral pathogens, particularly in the context of COVID-19.
