Yes, you can. Many private colleges offer Computer Science to candidates who are from the PCB stream. However, if such candidates wish to enroll on a Computer Science course in a government college, admission can be tough. The candidates are advised to go through the admission requirements of their desired colleges before applying for Computer Science admission. Also engineering courses could be off limits for students who did not have maths in class 12th.

No, Medical Doctors are not Microbiologists. When someone studies microorganisms, which include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microscopic organisms, they are regarded as a Scientist. Microbiologists can find employment in a variety of settings, such as industry, environmental science, healthcare, and research.
Professionals with a medical degree (such as an M.D. or D.O.) who have completed medical school are known as Medical Doctors. They are qualified to identify, address, and prevent medical conditions in people.
