The Importance of Using Model Microorganisms in Biomedical Studies
The evidence pyramid includes scientific research techniques that indicate the diagnostic level. At the base of the pyramid are in-vitro studies, cell culture studies, and studies conducted with model microorganisms. In the literature, the results of these initial steps, conducted with model microorganisms, can be examined and evaluated collaboratively and interdisciplinarily to more clearly determine which scientific data should be used at which level of evidence. This will also allow for a more important assessment of the number of studies and the number of experimental animals needed for the higher levels of the evidence pyramid. Studies conducted with model microorganisms are currently a prominent topic in terms of the sustainable use of global resources and public health.
