Medical Microbiology studies are usually performed on human blood and body fluids.
Medical Laboratory Technicians and Medical Laboratory Technologists perform the studies.
Education level: 2 yr. AAS or 4 yr BS

MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGYMEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY
Microorganisms can cause disease in humans. Microbiologists determine the type of
microorganism causing the disease and find a drug, usually an antibiotic, to inhibit the microorganism.
Microbiologists continue to study the microorganisms through research to determine new antibiotics.
