Role you're checking

Medical Microbiologist

Healthcare

Medical Microbiologists in India run the diagnostic engine of every hospital — culture and sensitivity, antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) by CLSI breakpoints, PCR-based molecular diagnostics, TB lab workflows (GeneXpert MTB/RIF, LPA), and serology panels for HIV, HBV, HCV, dengue, leptospirosis, and SARS-CoV-2. The training path is either MBBS + MD Microbiology (3 years, NEET-PG) for clinical microbiologists, or M.Sc Microbiology + Ph.D for research/academic tracks; both routes are NABL-audit-eligible. Practice destinations span AIIMS Delhi/Bhopal/Jodhpur, CMC Vellore, ICMR-NIV Pune, Apollo Hospitals chain, SRL Diagnostics, Lal PathLabs, Metropolis, Tata Memorial Hospital, PGIMER Chandigarh, and the rapidly expanding NABL-accredited network of tertiary-care private labs. Beyond bench work, medical microbiologists are the primary architects of hospital infection control committees (HICC), antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASP), and institutional antibiograms — roles that directly reduce MDR organism burden and patient mortality.
