Dr Microbe is a project carried out as part of a medical biology exercise thesis. bioMérieux and Dr Microbe wish to pool their expertise to provide microbiologists with a 'virtual' encyclopedia comprising more than 260 pathogen files, the new 'Vidal' of microbiology. It was born from an observation on the bench in the microbiology laboratory of a lack of reliable and easily accessible sources concerning microorganisms. This mobile application is mainly intended for health professionals: biologists, microbiologists, interns, technicians, looking for reliable information at the bench. This tool may also be of interest to clinicians on the subjects of 'antibiotic resistance' or 'emerging pathogen monitoring'.
