Microbiology as a field in the biological sciences saw the light of the day because of several innovative research and experiments by pioneers in this field. The study of microbiology will be incomplete without a touch on the founding fathers of this important field of biological sciences. Several scientists in time past contributed tremendously to […]

Bacteriology
Bacteriology is simply defined as the scientific study of bacteria. Pathogenic bacteriology thus, is the scientific study of bacteria that cause diseases in man. This unit which is one of the most important units of the clinical microbiology laboratory handles different types of patient’s specimens, with the sole aim of growing and isolating pathogenic bacteria

MICROBIOLOGY is simply defined as the study of microorganisms. Microorganisms or microbes are organisms that are too small to be seen by the naked (unaided) eye. Microorganism is the term applied to all microscopically small living organisms. However, some of the organisms studied in this important field of the biological sciences (i.e., microbiology) are macroscopic

General Microbiology
Microorganisms produce definite patterns on culture media plates as they grow and divide. These specific patterns (inclusive of shapes and sizes) also aid in the preliminary identification of the organisms for further characterization. Colonial morphology is the size, shape, colour, texture and the general structure of an individual colony of a particular microorganism (in this
