The Istituto Microbiologia is the center of reference in the field of microbiology south of the Alps. Aspects of public health, environmental hygiene, microbial ecology and biotechnology converge in a unified vision of microbiology that considers human, animal and environmental health as a whole in a larger concept of "one health". The Istituto Microbiologia is the Regional Competence Center South of Alps for the primary analysis of samples suspicious of a bioterror-related background.
