    • Includes evaluation of dietary intake, anthropometric measurements, clinical symptoms, and biochemical data.

    Modifications of Normal Diet

    • Known as therapeutic diets, designed to improve specific health conditions or address unique dietary needs.

    Medical Microbiology Focus

    • Deals with the etiology (causes), pathogenesis (development), laboratory diagnosis, specific treatment, and control of infectious diseases caused by microorganisms.

    Microorganism Visibility

    • Infectious disease-causing microorganisms are typically too small to be seen with the naked eye.

    Cellular Organisms Classification

    • Broadly classified as prokaryotic (bacteria) or eukaryotic (fungi, protozoa, and animal/plant cells).

    Binomial System of Nomenclature

    • Each species is identified using a combination of a generic (genus) name and a specific (species) name.

    Components of Medical Microbiology
