Understanding Microbiology

Abstract

Microbiology is the branch of science that studies microorganisms. Microorganisms (microbes) are microscopic organisms that can only be seen by the human eye through the use of a microscope. Microorganisms exist as either a bacterium, a virus, or a fungus that can both be harmful and essential to our bodies. How can it be both? The answer to that question cannot be summed up in one single sentence, but we will introduce the main points behind it as well as the importance of understanding microbiology.
