The Microbial World The microbial world is a realm of life made up of microorganisms and viruses. Microbiology is the branch of biological sciences concerned with the study of these microbes. Microorganisms are unicellular organisms (capable of existence as single cells)‚ too small to be seen with the naked eye. Among all forms of

tics Antibiotics Several scientists around the beginning of the 20th Century discovered substances that were toxic to bacteria yet not to the human cell. But it wasn’t until Sir Alexander Flemings own discovery in 1928 that everyone took notice. While washing his equipment‚ Sir Fleming noticed a bit of mold attacking a patch of bacteria. It’s frightening to consider how many more people would have died in the 20th Century if Sir Fleming did not have good eyes. Today‚ some complain that

growing substance. He named it Penicillin after the Penicillium mold that made it. The first antibiotic discovered that could attack certain bacteria was Penicillin. In 1940 two scientists‚ Howard Florey and Ernest Chain‚ were researching projects in bacteriology looking for ways to enhance or continue with chemistry. Using chemistry they created a brown powder that kept its power for more than a few days. After experimenting they found it to be safe. It was needed right away on the front lines of World

Sierra Neill Professor Rivera English 1A March 14‚ 2017 The Various Viewpoints on Vaccines During the decades before vaccines were invented people died from diseases that spread throughout the land. These common diseases‚ at the time‚ would wipe out thousands of people. Once the vaccines came around‚ during the late 1700s‚ it helped build peoples immune system‚ and the rate of deaths dropped tremendously. Now‚ in 2017 more vaccines have been created to further benefit people from

c) In what ways did the understanding of the treatment of disease change in the years 1860-1945? The treatment of disease changed dramatically in the years 1860-1845 due to the changes of how people understand it‚ how each discovery such as Pasteur’s opens new doors‚ leading to other discoveries such Koch’s identification of germs‚ the magic bullet and discovery of penicillin. this has help society to understand the causes of disease‚ and the ways to tackle it.
