Mahale Hemraj D | Mahale Rajesh S | Kushare Aditi A
Abstract: Auditing in microbiological laboratories is a critical quality control measure that ensures the accuracy, reliability, and safety of microbiological testing. This review article provides an overview of the history of auditing in microbiological laboratories, including the development of regulatory requirements and industry standards. We also discuss the importance of auditing in ensuring the quality and accuracy of microbiological testing, as well as the benefits and challenges of innovative approaches such as automation, artificial intelligence, data analytics, real - time monitoring, and risk - based auditing. The review highlights the key features and advantages of these approaches, including improved efficiency, accuracy, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and limitations of implementing these innovative approaches in microbiological laboratories, including data quality issues, technical issues, cultural resistance to change, and regulatory compliance challenges. The review concludes by highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and evaluation to ensure the effectiveness and compliance of auditing in microbiological laboratories.
