Bulgarian Society for Microbiology  (BSM)

BULGARIAN SOCIETY FOR MICROBIOLOGY (BSF) was found in 1927. Since 1946 it has become a member of Union of Scientists in Bulgaria. BSF unites around 200 microbiologists working in different fields as general and industrial microbiology, medical microbiology, veterinary microbiology, plant microbiology, soil microbiology and virology. Every 4 years the society held national congresses of microbiology since 1965. The last 13th National congress of microbiology was carried out in the town of Tryavna in 2014. The society organizes also the National congresses in Virology. The last, eighth congress was held in 2016. BSF was also a founder of the Balkan Society for Microbiology.
