What is scope of microbiology in nursing?

Microbiology helps nurses understand the types, characteristics, and behaviors of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.

Knowledge of microbiology enables nurses to implement effective infection prevention and control measures, protecting patients and healthcare workers.
