Microbiology starts in Chile at the end of the XIXth century as part of the effort to develop basic sciences at the University of Chile Medical School. Publications by Vicente Izquierdo on gonorrheae and Alejandro del Río on the organisms of dysenteriae were pioneer works in this area. The field was progressively developed in the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, Institute of Hygiene and Public Health and different hospitals. Many scientists have been trained in the United States, Canada or Europe. Post graduate training in Chile led to the first Masters degree in 1975 and the first doctoral degree in 1987. Although there is a shortage of well trained scientists and specialists, the field remains active as evidenced by publications, meetings and the existence of 3 specialized journals.
微生物学于19世纪末在智利起步，是智利大学医学院发展基础科学努力的一部分。比森特·伊兹基尔多关于淋病的著作以及亚历杭德罗·德尔·里奥关于痢疾病原体的著作是该领域的开创性作品。该领域在医学院、牙科学院、药学院、兽医学院、卫生与公共卫生研究所及不同医院逐步发展起来。许多科学家曾在美国、加拿大或欧洲接受培训。智利的研究生培养在1975年授予了首个硕士学位，1987年授予了首个博士学位。尽管训练有素的科学家和专家短缺，但该领域依然活跃，这从出版物、会议以及3种专业期刊的存在便可得到证明。
