Microbiology | Microbiologist in India

Medical microbiology, also known as clinical microbiology, is a sub-discipline of microbiology dealing with the study of microorganisms (parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and prions) capable of infecting and causing diseases in humans.

Medical microbiologists direct the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases.

A medical microbiologist studies the characteristics of pathogens, their modes of transmission, and the mechanisms of infection and growth. They play a significant role in medical testing, such as fluorescent fusion techniques, which are used for fast and precise detection of pathogens in tissue samples.

General microbiology focuses on the study of microorganisms, whereas medical microbiology focuses on the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by microorganisms.

A public health microbiologist investigates microorganisms that pose threats to the public's health.
