FORENSIC MICROBIOLOGY IS THE STUDY OF MICROORGANISMS TO FIND OUT THE IDENTITY OF A CRIMINAL AND TO DETERMINE POST-MORTEM INTERVAL (PMI).
IT CAN DETERMINE THE TIME OF DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL FROM 2-4 DAYS TO 25 DAYS.
FORENSIC MICROBIOLOGY IS MOST EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME WHEN THE BODY IS GETTING DECOMPOSED.
IT IS ALSO SUGGESTED THAT FORENSIC MICROBIOLOGY CAN BE USED TO SOLVE CRIMES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES THAT RESULTS IN SUDDEN DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL.
FORENSIC MICROBIOLOGY GOT ITS GLOBAL RECOGNITION AFTER THE BACILLUS ANTHRACIS ATTACK THROUGH USA PORTAL SERVICES. IN THIS ATTACK FORENSIC MICROBIOLOGY ACTED AS A WEAPON AGAINST BIOTERRORISM.
IF FORENSIC MICROBIOLOGY IS USED ALONG WITH FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY THEN IT CAN BE USED TO HELP TRACE INDIVIDUALS TO SPECIFIC AREAS.
THE RESULTS THAT COMES OUT FROM FORENSIC MICROBIOLOGY INVESTIGATION ARE VERY RELIABLE. HENCE FORENSIC MICROBIOLOGY IS THE FIELD THAT WILL GAIN MOST ATTRACTION IN FUTURE.
THANK YOU.
