Introduction

Microbiology is the science that deals with the study of microorganisms and the effects of diseases that microorganisms produce. Microbiology students study the shape, structure (morphology), genetic and metabolic processes that occur in microscopic and sub-microscopic organisms. Two main branches of microbiology are bacteriology and virology, which deals with the study of viruses and diseases. Other sub-disciplines of microbiology include immunology, biotechnology, industrial microbiology, public health microbiology, environmental microbiology and genetic engineering.

The science of microbiology is relatively young and offers practical applications for different areas of human activity including medicine, agriculture, nutrition, biotechnology and more. Studying microbiology touches upon the elements of chemistry, biomedicine, public health, environmental impacts and human health.
