Inappropriate and irrational prescription of antimicrobial agents has led to increasing bacterial resistance, which has become a major concern around the world. Clinical microbiology service provides a basis and guarantee for the rational application of antimicrobial agents and an important technical support for antimicrobial stewardship, and plays an important role in promoting the rational use of antimicrobial agents. This paper summarizes and evaluates the specific role and technical requirements of clinical microbiology service in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, rational application of antimicrobial agents, hospital infection control and training of medical staff, so as to provide a technical guidance for clinical microbiology service in the antimicrobial stewardship.
