Medical Microbiology detects pathogens in samples and performs antimicrobial susceptibility testing, which assists doctors in diagnosis and treatment decision. Students gain hands-on laboratory training in the Medical Microbiology Laboratory and use a variety of equipment and instruments, for example, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption / Ionisation Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometer. It is an instrument widely used by clinical laboratories of hospitals to identify microorganisms by analysing fingerprints of small proteins.
