Microbiology

Introduction

Many people might have never heard of microbiology. Others might have heard about it, but have absolutely no clue what it is or what it means. It is not something that is hard to understand. Microbiology is when someone is studying microscopic organisms. It can be a single cell they are studying or it can be a cell colony. A cell colony is more than one microorganism.

Different Types of Microbiology

There are many types of microbiology. People you might not even think would use microbiology are using it. One of the popular microbiologies is Medical Microbiology. Microbiology is used to get DNA. Once a person uses whichever method they prefer to decide DNA then it is sent to a lab to decide the results of the DNA.

It is also used in labs to detect fungus. It does not have the answer to get rid of the fungus, but it can detect it. It can also detect what type of fungus it is.

Toxicology results take so long because they are not just testing one test. They are testing multiple tests. You do not get the results of the tests until all the results come back.

Human doctors are not the only people that use this process. Animal doctors which are called Veterinarians use it as well. They use it to detect viruses and fungus in animals. This is considered the best way to figure out what is wrong.

Microbiology is also used in toxicology reports. This is the reason it takes so long to get the results back from testing. This can take weeks or even months to get. What you see on television is not true. Toxicology reports normally do not come in until after the autopsy reports come in. The wait can be long and very tiresome.
