bacteriologist
Studies microscopic organisms
A bacteriologist is a scientist who studies bacteria—their structure, function, growth, and effects on other organisms.
The field encompasses medical research, disease control, food safety, and environmental science.
The bacteriologist identified the strain responsible for the outbreak.
