Infectious medicine faces a variety of challenges, such as the increase in antibiotic resistance and the emergence and spread of infectious diseases fueled by climate change and globalization. Precision medicine can provide solutions to many of these challenges. Since an untargeted request for diagnostic tests can lead to test results without clinical relevance, which can increase the use of non-indicated antibiotics, the principle aimed at is: targeted diagnostics (the right test) and consideration of patient characteristics (the right person) to optimize management (the right action). At the same time, one must always decide whether empirical therapy must be immediately initiated, even if the results of the initiated diagnostics are not yet available. In addition, many new diagnostics as well as therapies have recently been developed for the rapid detection and more specific treatment of bacterial infections. Molecular genetic methods, which offer more rapid results than classical bacterial cultures, are gaining ground as new diagnostics. New therapeutics such as bacteriophages, antibodies or antibacterial peptides allow increasingly precise treatment of certain bacterial infections. Precision medicine will also play an increasingly important role in infectious medicine in the future.
