Microorganisms play crucial roles in various biological processes, and they can be found in diverse environments such as the human body, soil, water and air. In medical microbiology, microbiologists look at the characterisation and treatment of pathogenic microorganisms contributing to the diagnoses of infections. This allows them to develop strategies for disease prevention and control.

Microbiology is also used in various industrial processes, such as the production of antibiotics, vaccines, enzymes, and other bio-based products. Various techniques are used, including microscopy, molecular biology, and biochemical analyses.
