Toni Peterson

Toni Peterson manages a veterinary diagnostic laboratory in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she supervises bacterial identification across companion animal and livestock cases. She has worked in microbiology laboratories for 19 years, tracing pathogen patterns across different species. Her contributions to Biology Insights explore diagnostic methods and common animal bacteria. Peterson received a BS in Veterinary Technology from Morehead State University and an MS in Microbiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. At the bench, she tracks emerging strains and oversees culture protocols for regional veterinary clinics.
