Biomedical implications of metagenomics: Advances in the field of Microbiology

Disease-causing microorganisms pose a constant threat to public health and global economics due to the incessant evolution of known pathogens and the emergence of novel ones. Between 1940 and 2010 almost 160 new infectious diseases

Biotechnology and Microbiology are two major disciplines of Biological Sciences with a diversified application related to their domain. Biotechnology refers to a field dealt with the manipulation of living organisms at the molecular level through

(Student contributor: Swarnav Bhakta, PG II-Biotechnology) One of the biggest challenges of the current health care system is to detect and treat pathogens with developing resistances against the drugs, especially which manifest high antibiotic tolerance.

Medical microbiology is a subdivision of microbiology that concerns the study of pathogenesis and epidemiology of microorganisms that can infect and cause disease symptoms in human beings. This subject specialization evolved to complement medical science
