3. Microbiology
• . Microbiology is the scientific study of these
microorganisms. Microorganisms are those organisms
that are too small to see with the naked eye and include
things like bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

4. clinical microbiology
• Clinical Microbiology is a branch of medical science
concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of
infectious diseases.

5. Branches
• Bacteriology: the study of bacteria.
• Mycology: the study of fungi.
• Protozoology: the study of protozoa.
• Parasitology: the study of parasites.
• Immunology: the study of the immune system.
• Virology: the study of viruses.
• Nematology: the study of nematodes

6. Medical microbiology
• Medical microbiology, also known as '''clinical
microbiology''', is the study of microbes, such as bacteria,
viruses, fungi and parasites, which cause a human illness
and their role in the disease.
The microbes and the branch of microbiology are the
most studied due to their great importance to medicine.

7. Scope of microbiology
• Food microbiology:
• Microbes are used in various food and dairy industries to
produce various food products
• cheese, pickles, sauerkraut, green olives
• yogurt, soy sauce, vinegar, bread
• Beer, Wine, Alcohol
• Pasteur (1856) describe fermentation technology
•

8. Scope of microbiology
• . Medicine: clinical and pharmaceutical microbiology
• Disease Treatment: Microbes are used to produce
Antibiotics
• Eg. Penicillium notatum (Penicillin); discovered by
Alexander Fleming (1928)
• Bacteria also synthesize vitamins which is needed for our
body.
• Example: E. coli

9. Scope of microbiology
• Vaccine and immunology:
• Vaccine activates immune response.
• Edward Jenner inoculated people with cowpox to protect
against smallpox.
• Pasteur developed the rabies vaccine (1885).
• Von Behring and Kitasato (1890) produced toxoid vaccine
against diphtheria and tetanus.
• Metchnikoff (1884) described role of phagocytic cell in
defense.

10. Scope of microbiology
• Industrial microbiology:
• Microbes are used in economic and industrial purposes.
• Biotechnology, fermentation technology, food and
beverages etc are now established on large industrial
scale for income.
• Patients right of procedure

11. Scope of microbiology
• Agriculture microbiology:
• Genetic engineering is used for the production of
transgenic plants and animals.
• Animal and plant improvement by biotechnology for better
production, resistant to environmental fluctuation.
• Molecular farming: transgenic animal or plant are used as
bioreactor for mass production
