Welcome to the microbe world!!

I am ZoomIn, and you are here with me, assuming the role of a microbiologist.

Your task is to come up with a diagnosis for the cases presented to you.

I’ll be your companion throughout this task.

Let's ZoomIn at the Micro level

Let's learn more about these bacteria and how we can identify them.

Go through this resource to understand the different biochemical tests performed to identify the exact species of microorganism causing an infection.

This can help deciding the treatment regime for effectively treating the infection.

It not only informs the type of medication to be used, but also suggests the concentration and combination of drugs that are most effective against the infection causing bacteria.
