Microbiologist Job Description

Microbiologists are scientists who study all aspects of microscopic organisms and their interaction with one another and their environment.

Microbiologists study bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, protozoa, and parasites.

These organisms, which are much smaller than plants and animals, live in nearly all environments.

Microbiologists study how they adapt to their hosts, how they react to drugs, and how they attack each other.

Microbiologists utilize a variety of tools to investigate microorganisms, including microscopes and computers.

The majority of microbiologists work in hospitals, laboratories, and research organizations.
