Microbiology is the study of living organisms that are too small to be clearly seen by the unaided eye. The science of Microbiology dates back only to 200 years‚ yet the recent discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in 3000 year old Egyptian mummy reminds us that microbes have been around for much longer. Infact‚ Bacterial ancestors were the first living things to appear on Earth. The First observations: One of the most important discoveries in the history of Microbiology occurred in 1665

These microorganisms cause gastrointestinal illness using different mechanisms of action to disrupt the homeostasis of the body. For example‚ viruses‚ bacteria‚ or parasites are known for invading the intestinal mucosa and/or other tissues‚ multiply

Then it travels down the esophagus into the stomach‚ where hydrochloric acid kills most contaminating microorganisms and begins mechanical break down of some food (e.g.‚ denaturation of protein)‚ and chemical alteration of some. The hydrochloric acid also has a low pH‚ which is great for enzymes. After some time (typically an hour or two in humans‚ 4–6 hours

Describe the inflammatory response initiated by an infection. The body is designed to defend itself against invading bacteria‚ and infection. The skin and mucous membranes are the first line of defence‚ the invasion of foreign bacteria can pass this first line of defence and immediately triggers the second line of defence. The second line of defence is the inflammatory response (McCance & Huether‚ 2009). The mechanism of the inflammatory response is to protect the injured site by killing the
