The greatest achievements in the Medical sciences are attributed to developments in Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of several diseases. Today progress in the world is mainly contributed by control of Infectious diseases. We are heading to cross roads, many of the past technologies are giving way to several microbes, they escape our present methods of detection and resistant to several drugs we use to eliminate them. We the scientific communities have no options left, except to search for new paths in science and newer technologies. Till recently the Science made best progress with phenotypic methods, however in the recent past, Molecular methods have dominated all other forms of technologies. The division of Bioinformatics changed the advances in Science which is bringing together the fields of Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, and Genetics under the fold of computers and software advances in computer technology. The discoveries of Watson-Crick in basic understanding of Bacterial DNA (Genome) made us rich to know about ourselves. Many commercial establishments, with help of Scientists, are targeting majority of diseases, important fields being AIDS, Mental illness, autoimmune diseases, Obesity, Alzheimer's diseases, Heart diseases, Parkinson's disease and emerging trends on Multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR). The molecular medicine made the physicians know the realities of the disease before taking heroic decisions
