Study Set Content:
Observed strands of fungi among the specimen he viewed. First person to shape the history of microbiology.
Robert Hooke
– First viewed microorganisms (protozoa, fungi, and bacteria).
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek (Dutch)
– Germ Theory, fermentation of bacteria to produce beer.
Louis Pasteur
Golden age of Microbiology
1880 – 1900
Many of the etiologic agents of microbial disease were discovered during that period, leading to the ability to halt epidemics by interrupting the spread of microorganisms.
1880 – 1900(Golden age of Microbiology)
the antibiotics were introduced to medicine. The incidence of pneumonia, tuberculosis, meningitis, syphilis, and many other diseases declined with the use of antibiotics
After World War II
Electron microscope was invented
1940’s
Vaccine was developed
1950’s
Viral diseases such as polio, measles, mumps, and rubella came under control.
1960’s
- reaches into many fields of human endeavor, including the development of pharmaceutical products, the use of quality‐control methods in food and dairy product production, the control of disease‐causing microorganisms in consumable waters, and the industrial applications of microorganisms.
Modern Microbiology
involves the study of microorganisms associated with the manufacture of pharmaceuticals e.g. minimizing the number of microorganisms in a process environment, excluding microorganisms and microbial byproducts like exotoxin and endotoxin from water and other starting materials, and ensuring the finished pharmaceutical product is sterile.
· DEVELOPMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS
One of the major areas of applied microbiology
Biotechnology
In this discipline, microorganisms are used as living factories to produce pharmaceuticals that otherwise could not be manufactured.
Biotechnology
Food contaminated by microorganisms (blank) can cause severe disease in humans.
(bacteria and yeasts), viruses, and protozoa
for the examination of foods and beverages have been standardized and regulated, but nearly every country has its own regulations.
Microbiological test
Food contaminated by microorganisms (bacteria and yeasts), viruses, and protozoa can cause severe disease in humans.
· USE OF QUALITY CONTROL METHODS IN FOOD AND DAIRY PRODUCTS
Certain microorganism can cause certain kind of disease.
· CONTROL OF DISEASE-CAUSING MICROORGANISMS
Microbiological test procedures for the examination of foods and beverages have been standardized and regulated, but nearly every country has its own regulations.
· USE OF QUALITY CONTROL METHODS IN FOOD AND DAIRY PRODUCTS
Infectious disease can be devastating, and sometimes fatal, to the host.
· CONTROL OF DISEASE-CAUSING MICROORGANISMS
– Study of microorganism.
