Abstract: Despite the fact that traditional, standardized methods give satisfactory results, in fact, they are nonautomated methods, which are characterized by a long period of time in obtaining results. Progress in microbiological analysis thus requires improvements towards the instrumental and molecular methods. Fluorescence techniques are a combination of both these directions, offering an interesting alternative to the conventional, culturing methods. The article discusses the benefits and limitations of the use of fluorescence-based staining methods. The potential use in diverse microbiological directions was described.
