Les technologues en microbiologie utilisent du matériel de laboratoire hautement spécialisé pour déterminer le type de bactéries, de virus et de cellules présents chez un patient. Ces professionnels préparent des cultures de tissus et de fluides et examinent de près ces échantillons afin de détecter les micro-organismes anormaux. Les technologues en microbiologie travaillent souvent en étroite collaboration avec les médecins pour découvrir la cause d'une maladie. 1, record 1, French, - technologue%20en%20microbiologie
