Clinical Microbiology: Unveiling the Secrets of Infectious Diseases
Author(s): Zeva Ahamad*
Clinical microbiology is a branch of medical science that focuses on the identification, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases caused by microorganisms. It plays a critical role in patient care by providing valuable insights into the causative agents of infections, guiding appropriate antimicrobial therapy, and monitoring the spread of antimicrobial resistance. This field encompasses various laboratory techniques and methodologies, including culture, microscopy, molecular diagnostics and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. By studying the complex interactions between pathogens and the human host, clinical microbiology contributes to the development of preventive strategies, the advancement of diagnostic tools, and the improvement of infection control measures. This abstract provides an overview of clinical microbiology, highlighting its importance in the healthcare setting .. View More»
