FAQs

They identify infectious agents, recommend treatments, and monitor outbreaks. As hospital or public health (clinical) microbiologists, they are concerned with patient specimens and their interpretation, error rate, and safety in the lab.

Microbiologists perform blood cultures, urine cultures, swabs for wounds, throat cultures, stool tests for parasites, and PCR tests for viruses. These tests help identify infections and guide treatment.

Testing is required for suspected infections, outbreaks, surgical preparation, and treatment monitoring in some instances. This testing is very important in the ICU/critical care population and for immunocompromised patients.

Microbiologists must adhere to biosafety guidelines, wearing the proper PPE, and implementing proper sterilisation techniques to reduce exposure risk and maintain safety protocols.
