Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and algae. The course explores their structure, function, genetics, and roles in health, disease, and the environment. It covers key areas like medical microbiology, immunology, virology, microbial genetics, and industrial microbiology. Students learn laboratory techniques for isolating, culturing, and identifying microbes, as well as understanding their applications in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, and food production. Microbiology prepares graduates for careers in healthcare, research, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and biotechnology industries.
