Vitech As a Computer Scientist working in hospitals I was tasked with interfacing an instrument called a Vitech to an LIS (Laboratory Information System). The instrument could identify organisms or measure the organism's sensitivity (or susceptibility) to certain antibiotics. The antibiotics on the clear plastic "card" would correspond with those in the hospital's formulary. The culture to be isolated is first grown using an incubator by a medical technologist in a petri dish, then introduced to the Vitech card in a liquid suspension. The Instrument then continues to incubate (if it can) the bacteria or fungus inside the card; giving a progress reports to the LIS every 4 hours. The instrument I worked with used the Unix operating system. See: http://www.biomerieux.com/ I do not work for or have any financial interest in this company

AS FAR AS I KNOW IN U.S MICROBIOLOGY IS A SUPERSPECIALIZATION THAT CAN BE DONE AFTER POSTGRADUATION IN PATHOLOGY AND AS SUCH YOUR DEGREE AS A MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGIST IS NOT RECOGNIZED UNLESS YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH USMLE ROUTE, DONE POSTGRADUATE RESIDENCY IN PATHOLOGY AND THEN A FURTHER FELLOWSHIP IN MICROBIOLOGY. BUT ANSWER OF YOUR BASIC QUESTION ABOUT JOB IS THAT YOU CAN GET ANY JOB RELATED TO MICROBIOLOGY IN U.S EXCEPT FOR A MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGIST JOB.
