This document provides an overview of a microbiology course. It outlines the course objectives, which include describing various microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It also covers classifying microbes, their cellular characteristics, and the differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The document discusses the historical development of microbiology from early microscope observations to modern techniques and discoveries. Key figures that advanced the field include van Leeuwenhoek, Hooke, Pasteur, Koch, and Fleming.
Microbiology essentially began with the development of the microscope. Although others may have seen microbes before him, it was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch draper whose hobby was lens grinding and making microscopes, who was the first to provide proper documentation of his observations.

A creative way to learn about the bacteria Rhizobium with a touch of Bollywood. For young, science minds. This was a part of my college curriculum as I am studying Microbiology Hons.
Organisms are classified by humans for convenience of reference. In the scheme of classification, mycologists may not give equal importance to the criteria available. And therefore, we find different schemes of classification

To understand the basic concepts of the biology of microorganisms and its mechanism of action in host cells.
-Dr SUBASHKUMAR R
Associate Professor in Biotechnology
Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore
Medical Microbiology begins with a review of the immune system, focusing on the body's response to invading microorganisms. Bacteria are then covered, first with a series of chapters presenting the general concepts of bacterial microbiology and then with chapters detailing the major bacterial pathogenes of humans. Similar sections cover virology, mycology, and parasitology. In each section, the introductory chapters stress the mechanisms of infection characteristic of that type of microorganism, thus providing the reader with a framework for understanding rather than memorizing the clinical behavior of the pathogens. The final section of the book Introduction to Infectious Diseases, is arranged by organ system and provides transition for clinical considerations.
Evolution of the Immune System
The immune system consists of factors that provide innate and acquired immunity, and has evolved to become more specific, complex, efficient, and regulated. One of the principal functions of the human immune system is to defend against infecting and other foreign agents by distinguishing self from non-self (foreign antigens) and to marshal other protective responses from leukocytes. The immune system, if dysregulated, can react to self antigens to cause autoimmune diseases or fail to defend against infections.
Organization/Components/Functions
The immune system is organized into discrete compartments to provide the milieu for the development and maintenance of effective immunity. Those two overlapping compartments: the lymphoid and reticuloendothelial systems (RES) house the principal immunologic cells, the leukocytes. Leukocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells in the bone marrow during postnatal life include neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes and macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and T and B lymphocytes. Hematopoietic and lymphoid precursor cells are derived from pluripotent stem cells. Cells that are specifically committed to each type of leukocyte (colony-forming units) are consequently produced with the assistance of special stimulating factors (e.g. cytokines).
Cells of the immune system intercommunicate by ligand-receptor interactions between cells and/or via secreted molecules called cytokines. Cytokines produced by lymphocytes are termed lymphokines (i.e., interleukins and interferon-γ) and those produced by monocytes and macrophages are termed monokines.
Lymphoid System
Cells of the lymphoid system provide highly specific protection against foreign agents and also orchestrate the functions of other parts of the immune system by producing immunoregulatory cytokines. The lymphoid system is divided into 1) central lymphoid organs, the thymus and bone marrow, and 2) peripheral lymphoid organs, lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosal and submucosal tissues of the alimentary and respiratory tracts. The thymus instructs certain lymphocytes to differentiate into thymus-dependent (T) lymphocytes and selects most of them to die in...
he culture media are classified in many different ways: Based on the physical state Liquid media Solid media Semisolid media Based on the presence or absence of oxygen Anaerobic media Aerobic media Based on nutritional factors Simple media Synthetic media Complex

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

4. Introduction
Microbiology
Is the study of microorganisms
Microorganisms are all single-celled microscopic organisms and include
the viruses, which are microscopic but not cellular
Microbial cells differ in a fundamental way from the cells of plants and
animals
microorganisms are independent entities that carry out their life
processes independently of other cells
4
5.
The science of microbiology revolves around two
interconnected themes:
(1) understanding the living world of microscopic
organisms,
(2) applying our understanding of microbial life processes
for the benefit of humankind and planet Earth
5
6. Microorganisms
The main types of medically important
microorganisms:
1. Bacterium,
2. Fungus,
3. Virus,
4. Protozoan,
5.Helminth.

7. Historical development of microbiology and the natural history
of microbial diseases
Microorganisms are visible with the help of magnifying
lenses (ex. Microscope)
→ Microscope is the tool of microbiologist.
Microbiology started after the discovery of magnifying
lenses.
Microscope has two major roles:
i. Magnification- Enlarging the size
ii. Resolution – showing the fine details
(scattering)

18. Factors that contributed to the dev’t of
Microbiology
1. Controversy between the supporters of
Abiogenesis (Theory of spontaneous generation) and
Biogenesis
2. The Germ Theory of Diseases
18
20. Theory of Spontaneous generation
Early
belief that some forms of life could
arise from vital forces present in nonliving or
decomposing matter.
ex. flies from manure, etc
20
21. Theory of Biogenesis
Some
of the Supporters of Biogenesis
Francesco
Lazaro
Louis
Redi
Spallanzani
Paster
21
22. Challenges to spontaneous generation
Does
Spontaneous Generation work?
Francesco Redi’s Experiment (1600’s)
Problem: Did rotting meat produces
maggots spontanously?
Experiment: Used 3 jars:
1.Covered
2.Uncovered
3.Meshed & closed
Result: No growth in boiled
and closed jar.
22
23. Lazaro Spallanzani’s Experiment
Spallanzani's Problem :What causes microbes to
form in decaying broth?
Hypothesis: Microbes come from the air. Boiling will
kill microorganisms.
Experiment: Spallanzani put broth into four flasks
Flask 1 was left open
Flask 2 was sealed
Flask 3 was boiled and then left open
Flask 4 was boiled and then sealed
Result: No growth only in Flask 4.
Conclusion: Life arise from pre-existing form.
23
24.
Spallanzani is best known for his experiments to
disprove abiogenesis. He showed having boiled a
broth and then sealed the container, no
microorganisms would grow
That is, broth did not spontaneously produce
microorganisms
24
25. Louis Pasteur’s Experiment
Louis Pasteur did an experiment to show bacteria do
not arise spontaneously.
He showed microbes caused
fermentation and spoilage,
and disproved spontaneous
25
27. Louis Pasteur’s Exp.
Pasteur’s work also led to the development of effective
sterilization
Food science also owes a debt to Pasteur, as his principles are
applied today in the preservation of milk and many other foods by
heat treatment (pasteurization).
Pasteur’s fame from his rabies research was legendary and led
the French government to establish the Pasteur Institute in Paris
in 1888
Originally established as a clinical center for the treatment of
rabies and other contagious diseases,
the Pasteur Institute today is a major biomedical research center
focused on antiserum and vaccine research and production
27
28. Significances of the controversy
Existence
of microorganism in two forms:
Vegetative - heat labile
Spore form – resistance to heat
Spores
and sterilization
Aseptic technique
Sterilization techniques
“Pasteurization”
Heat
Chemical
28
29. History of Microbiology cont…
Spores and sterilization
• Some microbes in dust and air were resistant
to high heat.
• Spores were later identified.
• The term “sterile” was introduced which meant
completely eliminating all life forms from
objects or materials.
29
30. Microbiology as a science
Developed
through accumulation of
knowledge following scientific methods.
Scientific Method involve:
Identification of problem/gap of knowledge
• Hypothesis
• Experimentation
• Results
• Conclusion or theory
30
31. Natural History of Microbial Diseases
Even as early as the sixteenth century it was thought that
something that induced disease could be transmitted from a
diseased person to a healthy person.
After the discovery of microorganisms, it was widely believed that
they were responsible, but definitive proof was lacking
Improvements
In sanitation by Ignaz Semmelweis and Joseph Lister provided
indirect evidence for the importance of microorganisms in
causing human diseases
31
32. Do Microbes Cause Disease?
• 1546 Girolamo Fracastoro wrote about
“contagion” – communicable disease
Mainly philosophical as the existence of MOs were not known
Proposed that disease are transmitted by:
1. direct contact
2. through air
3. through inanimate objects such as clothes
1835 Agostino Bassi de Lodi linked a fungi with a silkworm disease–
the first recognized contageous agent of animal disease!
but it was the work of a German physician, Robert Koch (1843–1910)
that give experimental support to the concept of infectious disease
32
33. Germ theory of disease
Germ
Theory is the concept that microorganisms can cause disease, and this theory
is the foundation of modern medicine.
Many diseases are caused by the growth of
microbes in the body and not by sins, bad
character, or poverty, etc.
Robert Koch was a man who dedicated his life
to finding the causes of infectious diseases
33
34.
Koch was convinced that microbes caused some diseases
However, to test this idea, he needed to isolate the causative agent.
Almost all samples from diseased animals or any natural surface
contained many different microbes and it was impossible to tell which
one was the problem.
A method was needed to separate these different bacteria. The most
common method of isolation was to continually dilute a sample in liquid
broth in hopes only one type of microbe would be found
A major contribution to bacterial techniques was the development of
methods using solid medium for the cultivation of bacteria.
34
35. Robert Koch’s Experiment
Robert
Koch (1843-1910) verified
(realized)the Germ theory (and formulated
Koch’s postulates).
35
37. Koch’s Postulates
In 1876 Robert Koch – cultivates Anthrax using
blood serum and published postulates:
1. The disease agent must be present in every case, and
absent in healthy individuals.
2. The agent must be isolated and cultured in vitro (i.e.
cultivated in a laboratory environment).
3. Disease must be produced when a pure
culture is inoculated into susceptible host
4. The agent must be recoverable from infected host
37
38. Exceptions to Koch’s postulates
1. Many healthy people carry pathogens but do not exhibit
symptoms of the disease.
2. Some microbes are very difficult or impossible to grow in vitro(in
the laboratory) in artificial media. Eg. Treponema pallidum
3. Many species are species specific. Eg. Brucella abortus cause
abortion in animals but no report in humans.
4. Certain diseases develop only when an opportunistic pathogen
invades immunocompromised host
38
39. Contribution of Koch discoveries
The establishment of the fact that disease are caused by
microorganisms,
Koch's laboratory also developed methods of pure culture
maintenance and aseptic technique.
Aseptic technique involves:
the manipulation of pure cultures in a manner that prevents
their contamination by outside microorganisms.
Equally important, aseptic technique prevents their spread
into the environment
39
40. Contribution of Koch disc…
The postulate not only offered a means for linking the cause and
effect of an infectious disease,
but also stressed the importance of laboratory culture of the
putative infectious agent
These discoveries led to the development of successful
treatments for the prevention and cure of many diseases,
thereby greatly improving the scientific basis of clinical medicine
and human health and welfare
40
41. Contribution of Koch disc…..
Koch announced his discovery of the cause of tuberculosis M.
tuberculosis in 1882
and published a paper on the subject in 1884 in which his
postulates are most clearly stated.
For his contributions on tuberculosis, Robert Koch was awarded
the 1905 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
Koch had many other triumphs in medicine, including discovering
the organism responsible for the disease cholera
and developing methods to diagnose exposure to M. tuberculosis
(the tuberculin test)
41
42. History con…..
Martinus Beijerinck (1851–1931)&Sergei Winogradsky (1856–
1953) greatest contribution to the field of microbiology was their
clear formulation of the enrichment culture technique
In 1929 Alexander Fleming observed that molds can produce a
substance that prevents the growth of bacteria.
His discovery, an antibiotic called penicillin, was later isolated and
produced commercially to protect people against the harmful
effects of certain microorganisms.
42
43. The Modern Era of Microbiology
In the 1940s microbiology expanded into the fields of molecular
biology and genetics.
Viruses were found to be simple microbes that could be studied
quantitatively, and they were used to study the nature of DNA
In the early 1970s, genetic researchers discovered recombinant
DNA.
Scientists found that DNA could be removed from living cells and
spliced together in any combination.
They were able to alter the genetic code dictating the entire
structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs.
43
44. The development of early techniques in microbiology
Year
Event
1664
Robert Hooke is the first to use a microscope to describe the fruiting structures of molds. He
also coined the term cell when using a microscope to look at cork, as the dead plant
material in cork reminded him of a jail cell.
1673
Anton van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch tradesman and skilled lens maker, is the first to
describe microbes in detail.
1872
Ferdinand Julius Cohn publishes landmark paper on bacteria and the cycling of elements.
In it is an early classification scheme that uses the name Bacillus.
1872
Oscar Brefeld reports the growth of fungal colonies from single spores on gelatin and
the German botanist Joseph Schroeter grows pigmented bacterial colonies on slices of
potato.
44
45. 1877
Robert Koch develops methods for staining bacteria, photographing, and preparing
permanent visual records on slides.
1881
Koch develops solid culture media and the methods for obtaining pure cultures of bacteria.
1882
Angelina Fannie and Walther Hesse in Koch's laboratory develop the use of agar as a
support medium for solid culture.
1884
Hans Christian Gram develops a dye system for identifying bacteria [the Gram stain].
1887
First report of the petri plate by Julius R. Petri.
1915
M. H. McCrady establishes a quantitative approach for analyzing water samples using the
most probable number, multiple-tube fermentation test.
45
46. Microbial Taxonomy
Previously living organisms grouped into five kingdoms:
plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria.
DNA sequence-based phylogenetic analysis, on the other hand,
has revealed that the five kingdoms do not represent five primary
evolutionary lines
Instead, cellular life on Earth has evolved along three primary
lineages, called domains.
Two of these domains, the Bacteria and the Archaea, are
exclusively composed of prokaryotic cells.
The Eukarya contains the eukaryotes, including the plants,
animals, fungi, and protists.
46
47. Microbial Taxonomy con…
Definition Taxonomy : is a system for organizing,
classifying & naming of living things.
• Primary concerns of taxonomy are:
classification,
nomenclature,
and
identification
47
48. Microbial Taxonomy con…
Classification is the organization of organisms into
groups on the basis of either phenotypic similarity or
evolutionary relationships
The hierarchical nature of classification is that species
is made up of one to several strains, and similar
species are grouped into genera (singular, genus).
Similar genera are grouped into families, familiesm
into orders, orders into classes, up to the domain, the
highestlevel taxon.
48
49. Microbial Taxonomy cont….
Nomenclature
– giving a two word name
(Binomial) (Genus and species name)
Identification – assigning to the corresponding
taxa or group using the existing system of
classification set
49
50. Microbial Taxonomy cont….
Nomenclature:
• Binomial nomenclature: naming organisms using
the genus and species name together
It is (scientific)
• Genus – always capitalized(Ex. Bacillus, )
• species – use lowercase (ex. subtilis)
• Both italicized or underlined
-Bacillus subtilis, or
- Bacillus subtilis, or
- B. subtilis
50
51. Microbial Taxonomy cont…
Levels of Classification:
• Kingdom/Domain
• Phylum or Division
• Class
• Order
• Family
• Genus
• species
51
52.
The polyphasic approach to taxonomy uses three kinds of
methods—phenotypic, genotypic, and phylogenetic—for the
identification and description of bacteria
Phenotypic analysis examines the morphological, metabolic,
physiological, and chemical characteristics of the cell
Genotypic analysis considers characteristics of the genome
These two kinds of analysis group organisms based on
similarities
They are complemented by phylogenetic analysis, which seeks
to place organisms within an evolutionary framework
52
53. Microbial Taxonomy cont…
Domains

►Developed after the five-kingdom system
Eubacteria -true bacteria, with true peptidoglycan
Archaea –odd bacteria that live in extreme
environments, high salt, heat,etc
3.
Eukarya- have a nucleus, & organelles
53
57. Bacteria:
Bacteria:
This domain includes the kingdom of the heterotrophic
eubacteria and includes all human pathogen bacteria.
The other kingdoms, for instance that of the
photosynthetic cyanobacteria, are not pathogenic.
It is estimated that bacterial species on Earth number
in the hundreds of thousands, of which only about
5500 have been discovered and described in detail.
57
58. Eucarya:
Eucarya:
This domain includes all life forms with cell possessing
a genuine nucleus.
The plant and animal kingdoms (animales and
plantales) are all eukaryotic life forms
Pathogenic eukaryotic microorganisms include fungal
and protozoan species
58
59. Bacteria
• No membrane bounded organelles
• Cell wall made of Peptidoglycans
• Antibiotic sensitivity
• Reproduction by Binary fission
• DNA with no Histones
• 70S ribosome
Some are parasitc, others are beneficials (food,
antibiotic, industry, agriculture, environment, medical),
some are pathogenic (Salmonella, Shigela), still some
others are toxin producing(Clostridium, S.aurus),
59
60. Fungal general characteristics
They are achloropyllus
Without true root, stem, and leaf, no vascular system
Heterotrophic mode of nutrition(they digest and ingest)
They follow both sexual and asexual mode of reproduction
Some are parasitic;(smuts, rust, athletes foot, ringworm);
others are beneficial(antibiotic, food, industry),
some form associations(lichen, Mycorrhiza, termites),
some produce toxins which is potent chemical to human, animal and
other vertebrates,
Some are still poisonous(Amanita spp.)
Some are still disease causing Mycosis (athletes foot, ring worm,)
60
61. Major groups of fungi
Fungi
• Classification based on:
– Morphology
– Reproduction
_Nutrition, Habitat, life cycle, growth
Molecular
The major Fungal divisions are:
Zygomycetes
Ascomycetes
Basidiomycetes
Deutromycetes /fungi imperfecta/ mitosporic
