Microbiology ? the study of microbes ? is a fascinating and extremely important subject. We are surounded by microscopic critters that impact our daily lives in a variety of ways. In addition to the numerous beneficial aspects of microbes, many of them cause disease. In recent years, the public has been bombarded by news reports about microbes-associated medical problems such as bird flu, SARS, monkeypox, flesh-eating bacterial, mad cow disease, superbugs, black mould in buildings, West Nile virus, Ebola virus, bioterorism, anthrax, smallpox, food recalls due to the presence of bacterial pathogens, and epidemics of meningitis, hepatitis, influenza, tuberculosis, and diarrheal diseases.rnrnrnImagine how rewarding it would be to play a mojor role in the diagnosis of microbial diseases.
