Department of Microbiology mainly focuses on the study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, that cause infections and diseases in humans. It involves understanding the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infections. Microbiologists work to identify pathogens, study how they spread, and develop strategies to manage infectious diseases, including antibiotics, vaccines, and other therapies. The field plays a crucial role in public health by providing insights into disease outbreaks, antimicrobial resistance, and infection control practices.
