Antibiotic Resistance
Also known as: Antimicrobial resistance, bacterial resistance, drug resistance.
Discovery of Microscopic Life
Leeuwenhoek’s pioneer work in designing, building, and using microscopes and his discoveries of protozoa and bacteria laid the foundation for the modern science of microbiology...
Environmental Microbiology
The majority of Earth's biomass consists of microorganisms, and everything consumed and created by microorganisms significantly impacts the surrounding environment and all other living organisms.
Medical Microbiology
Medical microbiology is the study of microorganisms , or microbes , that cause infection and disease. Microbes are everywhere, but many of them are either harmless or even beneficial to humans. Nevertheless, some microbes are dangerous to humans and cause disease.
Microbiology
The study of organisms too small to be seen by the unaided human eye, especially the identification, transmission, and control of the ones that cause disease.
Pasteur Begins Developing Germ Theory and Microbiology
Louis Pasteur demonstrated not only that specific living organisms are required for fermentation but also that the process itself is biological.

Extremophile
In biology, an extremophile is an organism that has adapted to thrive in environments considered to be extreme.
Fermentation
Fermentation is a biological process in which a microorganism converts carbohydrates, typically starch or sugar, into simpler components such as alcohols, acids, and gases.
Pathogens
Also known as: Germs, infectious agents
Septicemia
ALSO KNOWN AS: Blood poisoning, bacteremia
Winogradsky column
A Winogradsky column is a tube-like device used for growing diverse communities of microorganisms for scientific study.
