Marwan Saleh Abaalkhail

Board-Certified Medical Microbiology Professional

Marwan Saleh Abaalkhail is a board-certified medical microbiology professional at King Fahad Medical City with scientific training in diagnostic microbiology, infectious diseases and laboratory-based research. His practice covers the identification of bacterial and fungal pathogens, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and the reporting decisions that shape prescribing at the bedside. A developing part of that field is next-generation sequencing in clinical microbiology, where sequencing moves from a research tool to a diagnostic one for outbreak investigation, resistance detection and organisms that culture poorly.
