Bacteriology Quick Study

This reference answers the most important questions that form the foundation of Microbiology within 6 laminated pages. Carry this core material in a handy format to use beyond the course and into higher level and career courses, then even further into your working life as a refresher. With many diagrams in a small package, you will not need to crack the textbook to review. Suggested uses: o Students - especially relevant for those majoring in science or a health care related field o Quick Reference - instead of digging into the textbook to find a core answer you need while studying, use the guide to reinforce quickly and repeatedly o Memory - refreshing your memory repeatedly is a foundation of studying, have the core answers handy so you can focus on understanding the concepts o Test Prep - no student should be cramming, but if you are, there is no better tool for that final review

Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms which are generally a few micrometers in length. The biological branch which deals with the studies related to the morphology, genetics, ecology and biochemistry of bacteria is referred to as bacteriology. It is a sub-field of microbiology that is particularly concerned with the identification, classification and characterization of bacterial species. Bacteriology is applied in the development of vaccines for various diseases such as diphtheria and tetanus. There are numerous areas where principles of bacteriology are applied and studied such as agriculture, marine biology and biotechnology. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of bacteriology. The topics included herein on this topic are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. This book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
