Resources for clinical microbiologists
The discipline at the front lines fighting against infectious disease.
The science and practice of clinical microbiology is crucial for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases. Clinical microbiologists identify viral pathogens, help ensure close surveillance of the spread of diseases, and research drug resistance. If you're interested in exploring current and emerging developments in the field of microbiology and its growing impact on patient care and public health initiatives, we've curated highlights of ADLM's resources here.
