What is Microbiology? Micr o BioOlog y Too small object to be seen by the ordinary eyes Refers to life Means science Microbiology is the science studying very small living cells that could not be seen by ordinary eyes. These cells are called: microbes, organisms, microorganisms, or pathogens. Introduction
2
Definition It is the science that deals with studying of parasites, fungi, bacteria, and viruses that cannot be seen by the naked eye and cause human infectious diseases. Types: Helmeth protozoa fungi bacteria virus &prion Prokaryotes & eukaryotes ????????

Morphology 1) Size 2) Shape 3) Arrangement 4) Stain 5) Motility 6) Capsulated or not 7) Spore forming or not
6
Morphology 1)Size …….. In Micron - The unit of measurement is the micrometer (µm), known as micron = 1/1000 of a millimeter. so, µm = 1/1000,000 of a meter, i.e. micron = 10-6 meter? - Bacterial cells range in size from about o.2 to 8 µm.
