Microbiology
Microbiology is the study of microbes and its interaction with humans, animals, plants and the environment. Microbes are organisms that are not visible to the naked eye because they are too small and can only be seen through a microscope. Microbes include bacteria, virus, yeast, protozoa and algae and parasites.
Microorganisms were discovered three hundred years ago. Microbiology is a science that include bacteriology, virology, phycology, parasitology, mycology and other branches of biology. All living things are classified into Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes depending on whether their nuclear matter which is their DNA is surrounded by a membrane or not. Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotes. Most animals including humans and plants are Eukaryotes. Viruses are different and are not considered living organisms, but they are considered as microorganisms. Virology is the study of the viruses.
Many diseases of animals including humans and plants are caused by bacteria, virus, amoeba, parasites and fungi. Good bacteria called probiotic is used in food production like yogurt and cheese. Yeast and fungi are important in food and drink production like wine beer, and food and are also used in pharmaceuticals.
Microbiology and toxicology testing
Microbiological testing relies on traditional microbiological techniques where the bacteria in the sample was allowed to grow in nutrients to identify them as specific species. The newer technology used in Rapid microbiology doesn't need the time to allow for the bacteria in the sample to reproduce to identify the specific species.
There provide a wide range of testing like bacteriology, parasitology, fluorescent microscopy, food, water, environmental, dairy microbiology, in-vitro toxicology testing, medical devices, Qualitative and quantitative protein analysis, qualitative and quantitative molecular techniques like ELISA and PCR, food allergen detection, microfilm, rapid detection and identification of organisms, industrial residential air quality testing, ATP luminescence, ATP protocol for EPA, appliance efficacy testing (bacteria, allergens).
Toxicology testing
The toxicology testing done after a person's death is forensic toxicology testing is different from clinical toxicology, this is a drug testing an emergency room doctor would order when a patient shows up with signs of drug overdose or abuse. Other types of toxicology include workplace drug testing, athletic drug testing. The toxicology report issued in forensic toxicology is the result of lab procedures identifying potential toxins which include prescription medications and drugs of abuse.
Cell therapy
During cell therapy the cellular material which means intact and living cells are injected into patients. For example in immunotherapy, T-cells that are capable of fighting cancer cells are injected during this process of cell therapy.
