Microbial control is a field of research that focuses on finding effective ways to control and manage microbial populations in various environments. This includes developing methods to eliminate or prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that can cause infections, disease, or spoilage. Researchers in the field of microbial control study the biology of different microorganisms, their interactions with other organisms, and the development of new antimicrobial agents and technologies to combat them. The goal of microbial control research is to improve public health, food safety, and environmental quality by reducing the impact of harmful microbes.
